In Reply to: There is a 'story' on her web page - sm

you have against thinking that maybe Sherri (SHE) might be telling the truth? It sounds like you have a grudge or maybe you're the guy who took over?

    Are U dense? must be...
    I just told you I don't even work for MQ.  I work for another national.  I have NEVER worked for MQ.  I don't even know anyone who works for MQ.  My whole point from post number 1 was WHY, WHY do you continue to work somewhere that is so awful????  And WHY, WHY do you have to post over and over again how miserable you all are????  WHY, WHY do you not DO something about it???????  So, in closure, sorry if you think I am SYBIL.  Just another MT that is tired of hearing your complaining.  That's about it in a nutshell. 
    Are you trying to be dense?
    My post was actually on your side.  I like bluntness and directness.  What I can't comprenend is the LOL-ers who try to soften their message.  Sorry, I will not write in your support again, my mistake.
    Are you dense? It is an "unforgettable name".
    Why would she lie about this? Think about it. A rogue physician is rare but they do exist.
    thanks ER/MT - I got it finally *dense here*..nm

    I might be dense because its early but which words? The ones on here?

    No sweetie, not dense...just trying to understand

    I do not know how he claims everything, but
    I just know he does. He is also a great accountant that has been doing some of my family members' taxes for years as well. I trust him. He gives a guarantee he will back you if you get audited, so I cannot see him doing anything illegal.
    Someone there who claims to be a
    CMT and she is not either.  Scary place.
    Why not sue in small claims (sm)
    You have a business contract with them. It's not a paycheck we are talking about. It's payment for services rendered. Are they going to send someone to your state to defend it? Probably not!
    Small Claims
    If you go down to the courthouse they will help you step by step.  Or perhaps by now it is on line in your state.  If she is an MSW or LCSW the state will have a copy of her license and you can also get her address that way.  You make out the papers, at least I did, and provide the address to serve her at and they will mail them to her place of employment if that is the only address you have.  But the courts are helpful, at least they were in Oregon, and showed me how to do the business as well as personal.  Good luck.   May I ask why she said she wasn't going to pay you?  Just curious.
    Small claims
    You have a right to be paid for services rendered. If I were you, I'd go ahead and work until the date that you have already told them and then take them to small claims court for the amount they owe you. Of course, this is assuming that you have kept accurate records. You would need those in court. And, I'd also tell your other clients ahead of time what is going on to reassure them that you are doing this as a last resort.
    Small claims does not mean anything
    in Atlanta. I do not know how it is in your town but I filed 1 and told right up front it was up to me to collect, even if I won. I think it was a complete waste of my time- the fellow had no checking acct, no home in his name, nothing that I could go after.
    Small Claims
    Don't forget to ask for filing fees and court costs. The judge can't give them to you if you don't ask for them. And you will win.
    Small claims will not help you sm
    I've wasted my time with that - after you win nobody makes them pay you.
    small claims SM
    Don't waste your time and hope. No one makes anyone pay anything from small claims.

    Small claims court
    Write a final demand letter, registered, signed receipt requested and tell them that you are seeking legal action against them and will be seeing them in small claims court.  Whatever state their business name is registred, go online and see who are the registered owners and their addresses, etc. and send copies of letters to all.    Give then 14 days (10 working days) to respond and if they don't file in small claims court.  Hopefully you have a copy or can get a copy from your back of the checks you deposited so that you can put a lein on their checking accounts when you win in court.   Check on line with your state for small claims court as if they are located in another state -- I don't know if that makes a difference.  But check it all out.  If you can't afford an attorney -- seek legal aide in your city.  Good luck.
    Thank you both! I am going to file in small claims. nm

    I do insurance claims work
    I've been doing it for over 8 years, but unfortunately I'll be losing it to a company who's going to do it digitally (I do tapes) in July. I sort of just fell into it. I knew someone who worked there that knew I needed a part-time job. Have you thought also about just general transcription. There's a board that I frequent that has a lot of companies that do general and legal work. The good thing about a lot of these companies is they're very, very flexible. There are some that don't require any number of lines, reports, etc. If they have work they ask if you'd like it and you can say yes or you can decline. I plan on sending out a lot of resumes to these companies when I'm through in July with insurance work.
    Try Small Claims Court.

    Unless local, and can pursue in small claims, then she will end up sm
    spending more money that she will ever get back.  Write if off.  Move on.  Learn from the experience.
    Question regarding small claims and ex-employer.TIA
    Has anybody ever filed a small claims suit against an employer that was in a different state?  I need to file small claims suit for wages that are owed, but I am in a different state as the company.  Does anybody know how to go about this?
    I would definitely file in small claims court
    against her.  Not sure about the subpoena part - I do not know how that works.  Believe once you file it is up to the court to notify her.  You may not get your money even if you win the judgement but you can then let the credit bureaus know, etc., and eventually it will catch up with her.  Best of luck and so sorry you are experiencing this! 
    Agree with Small Claims Court.

    Small Claims Court - it's easy sm
    a few years back, i worked part-time for a one-woman company who had a psych hospital account.  All was great until she went through a mid-life crises, kicked her husband out, got a tattoo, changed everything about her, and then had me doing all the work... the last month i worked for her, she owed me $3,300 and refused to pay... wouldn't answer my calls or her door... so i took she and her company to small claims court... she didn't show up for that either and i was awarded the judgment via default.  I filed a wage garnishment with the psych hospital and they promptly terminated her contract... so then i filed a lien against her house and 3 years later when she sold it, i got paid... I did all of this without any help from an attorney - piece o' cake...I had the sheriff's department serve her, which was like $25 or so, and then whatever filing fees, which were minimal... good luck to you!
    Got pictures? If so, take 'em to small claims court!
    I took my pics and the signed walk-through with me. They were smug throughout, but I won and they had to return a BUNCH of my deposit! It pays to have a rather suspicious minds these days, I guess!
    You could take him to small claims to get expenses and pain and suffering.
    :+
    could you at least file in you local small claims court?
    where the employer is located. My local county charges $50 for serving out of state notices on small claim issues. You would stand a greater chance of obtaining a judgement as the chances of the owner coming to your state would be small. Once you get a judgement and failure to pay, you can file a lien against the company. If they ever want to buy anything on credit, it would show up and they would be denied until they paid you, then another 7 years to roll off the credit report.
    Sue him in small claims court for breach of contract

    I type fire claims/investigation reports
    It's really easy work and pays pretty good. It's also nice to have a break from medical, but some of the reports are really sad to type. I do the work for a local fire chief that has a side business and he investigates a lot of car accidents when the car catches on fire. A lot of times there are fatalities involved, and they usually involve children too. They can get pretty gruesome when they go into detail though. I get paid by the page and most of the time I type depo summaries, which are just highlighted parts of the deposition that I type into a summarized report. I actually put an ad in the local paper for transcription work and got this account. It's only about $400/month, but I do MT part time too.

    Anyone with experience with small claims court in NJ??? I guess I am going to have to go that route
    to try and get money that is owed me and to complicate things I don't live in that State.  If anyone has any info to offer I would greatly appreciate it.  I know times have been tough for some of us but after 9+ years I can't believe it has come to this.  Thanks in advance for any help or words of wisdom you can offer.     
    Instant Text claims compatibility with all word-based programs
    I have used it with Word, PowerScribe, ExText, and a program based on MS Office online, the name of which escapes me. Works great.
    I agree. Bean-counters desperately wanting to believe the exaggerated claims for SR make them easy

    Unless you get a bunch of
    very short reports to average it out, it's not worth it.

    If speaking to your supervisor doesn't result in her adjusting for those long reports (maybe paying you more?) you should ask to be taken off.

    I really feel for you! It's production work and don't understand how they can get away with paying per report, unless there are enough short reports to balance it our for you and sounds like they're not there!
    Thanks a bunch!
