Wondering if anybody on here's done work for RETAIL MAINTENANCE Inc. out of Ohio

I have done a lot of small work for them and they have paid with in the 30 day agreement. And did a big job for them 6,000 and still have not have a paid now we are going on almost 90 day wondering if this is a trend or if they run their Bill up and not pay. I called them and they're telling me that has to be approved by the stores corporate office before they pay. If anyone else has dealt with them on this it would be greatly appreciated on any insight thanks

have we dealt with maintenance pimps , sure we have Darrin

from my own archives>


Dear Billing dept

Please find enclosed our invoice to you dating back to work performed as far back as 5 months ago August 2013

Your people called in December , and despite my lamenting we had overdue and outstanding debts then, convinced us to drop what we were doing for your needs

She insisted the outstanding balanced would be reviewed & resolved during our mid-December exchange

Fast forward to mid January 2014 , with zero notification(s) from your company , we yet again are asked to drop everything and respond to your needs

I refused on grounds of no payment, to which she alluded to insurance voucher related issues @ (maint pimp inc) billing dept , which sounded suspiciously premeditated.

Imagine my surprise that you folks, who preach impeccable professionalism, would send a vendor out only vetting them AFTER services are performed and billed to you!

As I informed your caller, I find this highly disingenuous , if not something reportable to the consumer protective oversights

You have until (M/D/Yr) to cut us a check, we will take whatever actions needed after that date

regards
~Steve

and the response>

First, I would like to apologize for the lack of communication. All of our vendors should be vetted and informed of our procedures prior to awarding a job. I would also like to inform you that for some reason, the invoice posted in your email was not previously received. This invoice, which pertains to two different jobs completed will be in our system this week. I will contact our accounts payable department and notify them of your case, I will do what I can to see if we can expedite payment for your services.

Thanks,

We've invoiced them repeatedly btw....

Ive worked for a company with that same name, except they are out of NJ. In fact I did a service call for them a couple weeks back at a Sally Beauty store. They pay. Slow, but they pay. I wouldn't do anything over $500-600 without them cutting me a check for half first. These maintenance companies can be a real pain to get your money sometimes.

Sign up to what? I do work for a few maint. companies. I just charge them more when they approve a project. Yes I wait for my money but I always(so far) get paid. Plus I get paid a little to wait for my money.
My thought was that I may not believe you actually wrote an email like that and I thought maybe you could produce a little proof. The writing is not like your norm and the format seems a little off. I do not like being lied to.

I have done work for this company as well. It took 30 days, and I was paid. I was doing IT work, and did have a piece of equipment that would not be sent back until i was paid.

I have dealt with plenty of people like this doing IT work. Sadly 30-45 days is the norm

I just laugh really loud in the phone when they call now. We are out thousands to the companies that handle the Red Box DVD dispensers and to the company that handles Target stores (MTG Inc.).........

MTG? I have been working for them for over 3 years now with not a problem. We have an entire accounting department which I feel strongly helps as they consistently call/email.... One company I would not work for is MC Sign or TNT enterprises those two have yet to pay on invoices over a year

They magically lost all of our paper work. Good thing we kept copies, although we still were not paid all our earnings.

That's my letter Sbrn

It's my writting, and it's not the only letter i've penned to Nat Maint pimp deadbeats. I've caught them dead to rights violating their OWN doctrine, and i'm not going to be dealing with them in the future.

Further, i've deal with numerous 'pimps' , as well as written them similar Dear Steve's in the past.

Yes, i've gotta lot to say about them s a whole, and most of it ain't good.

No i don't feel the need to 'prove' anything to you, because even if i posted legal documents for collection, you'd insist it photoshopped or similar responses engineered to my lying @ ET

What you folks that work for these sorts need are some bad experiences yourself, until then i'll fill my own rice bowl, thx
