REally need to voice out my anger over a extremely flusterating and pretentious company.
I wil not name "IT" out prominently.. but the company starts with "E****O".. it is a facial service company base in singapore.
It had been hell collecting a small sum of payment from them! as they know, my service is COD, they delayed more than 2 week with repeated reminders..
Let me elaborate my flusteration..
(1) After completing the shoot, before i leave the company, i reminded them that cash are to be collected or cash check be made on delivery of the Cd later in the day.. the Marketing Manager Bitch knows already! But when i deliver the Cd, she claim that the acountant already left.. so no check and no cash.. thats 1.
(2) 1 week later, i called the director and ask for the payment.. she say i can pick up the check the next day.. so i went.. and? no check.. the manager is in a demo session and i waited 2 hours before having to call repeatedly before she gets on the phone.. and she say: the accountant already LEFT WITH CHECKBOOK! will call you when the check is ready.. and the witch hangs up
(3) called another week later.. ask for check.. she say can collect the next day.. i ask.. what time? she say.. after 1030.. i say ok.. reach 1230.. when she see me, she say.. how come 1030 become 1230.. i reply sorry .. been bz with stuff.. apoloigies.. she say.. please come and sign for the check.. i went into her office and just when i was about to sign, i found out that the check is make to my company name! i told her i do not have a company bank account and she already knows beforehand that i ask for CASH check! ..she say she forgot.. what can she do, the check book is not in the office (what fucking bullshit is this? the check book went for conference?!)?? i say.. prepare the CASH check and deliever to me. she say ok.
(4) the check arrived. it is a cash check.. the amount was correct. i sign for it.. went to the bank to cash it. then the teller say.. sorry.. cannot cash it.. i am surprised. .i ask y? she say.. it is
POST DATED! Now..
WHY THE FUCK ISSUE A POST DATED CASH CHEQUE when she already know it is meant to be immediately payable?!
(5) Sms the manager .. asking her to explain y the cheque is post dated.. she replied.. "so sorry my accounts just follow to issue all the cheques for that date .. As a matter of fact we don't have this policy to issue COD as our accounts is located somewhere.. infact your invoice did not indicate to issue as cash though you have said verbally but they wanted you to write black and white before releasing but i have gone ahead since i have let you walk a few times.. hope you will accept this cheque and sorry for the inconvenience caused...
What a load of hogwash! if it is the company policy NOT to issue cash or cash cheques, y only tell me know now?! can issue personal check to me in the first place.. perfectly fine! secondly,
IT IS CLEARLY INDICATED IN BLACK AND WHITE AND VERBAL that the service is COD..
ON THE INVOICED! i sms the reply back to her.. and she say.. *some missing text* id not know my accounts make this mistake..
the cheque is dated 30 April 2006.. 1 is public holiday.. can only cash it on 2..
BASTARD COMPANY!
