| Not sure one party is to blame in this case | Aug 6, 2018 |

Another trick is to require a purchase order in order to process the invoice, just a shame that some companies "forget" to send the PO after they have received the translation. I have 13 unpaid invoices from 2017 on that account.
How in the world do you have 13 unpaid invoices? I'm sorry, but this just sounds like bad business to me. I mean, yeah, non-payers should pay up, but seriously. After a certain number of unpaid invoices I kind of feel like some of the blame needs to fall back on you for continuing to go back to the same dead-end watering hole...or if these are unpaid invoices from a bunch of different clients than you have a serious problem and need to address your risk management strategies ASAP.

Well, Talkbridge just seems to be the Emperor's new clothes, Their Corporate US office is just a virtual office rented for 70+ USD per month with a friendly reception staff. The rest of the addresses on their website is a bunch of hotels probably also with a friendly receptionist and forwarding service - cheating their clients and translators world...

I´ve been paid and got a sincere apology for the delay. So I invited them to work together again.
I think that they deserve a chance.
They´ve always treated me with great respect and besides this delay they always paid me in time.

The only way to stop this nonsense is finally get together as a group, as a strong community in the industry (as we are now... Or I am the only one who can see the full view?) We have to realize that the only way to establish standards that benefit us is our way. We will be able to stop NET 60, request a small or minimum or a percentage in advance no matter the size of the project, we will be able to PO with a specific "legality", we can enter in a straight and legal compromise when a customer r...

Pass over the wording and take ACTION!! Accept apologies after 60 days? Those things happen? There are colleagues dealing along with abusive an even criminal agencies in China, Rumania, and several other places!! Are we a credit entity? Are we stupids? Read the comments just get me the sense why we can not create a tool to defend our work, to stand up... That's really sad... It really pisses me off!! But as Joseph de Maistre said, "Every country has the government it deserves"... We can be a country and we deserve much better!! Not a bunch of passive citizens of the ignominy... ▲ Collapse

Yes, I have multiple unpaid invoices from July, September, October and November of last year with this company, Talkbridge. They are not reliable for timely payment.

This was a foregone conclusion. Look at the Blue Board - they have been banned from posting jobs for at least a couple of years. There is also negative feedback on the Payment Practices website. Nobody should be enabling "clients" such as these by dealing with them; they are predators.

We have multiple unpaid invoices (26) since Mar 17, 2020. But there is no answer about payments. We guess they run away.
