Dena, thanks for the heads-up regarding ES. I occasional get request on properties that are way out of my area, so needless to say I haven't journeyed down this path. 

Dena, great advice to all Realtors doing BPOs, and will send a message to Debbie Laity in Cedaredge, she does many too.

Hope you get it worked out. I think reporting it is the way to go. What a waste of time, money and gas. I hope you are documenting everything. :)

That is a shame.  I hope that you get some attention by reporting them.  I wonder if your Broker could set up Paypal to make the payment process easier??? 

I have been working with this company for a few years now doing BPO's. Getting paid is like having root canal. You get stories and lies and after much threatening, you probably will get paid. Frankly, I have very little sympathy for folks out there who get themselves into the hole for several hundred dollars or more with this company and continue to do work for them (and moan at the same time). Best thing you can do is set a limit of say $200 that they owe you and then state that you will not do further BPO's until this amount is paid. If most agents or everyone adheres to this plan, they will be forced to pay in a timely manner.

Dena, thank you so much for this advice! You really saved me a ton of headaches...

Just FYI for folks like me that are owed a boatload of money. I hope we see some compensation.

This is  a shame to hire people to do the job and never pay them.

I wonder how this story ended in 2012?
