If that does not work, discuss with a lawyer your plans to write letters to advertisers and media. If you woun't get sued, go for it!<BR/>I read your article in Savoy and it was great.

I understand your frustrations...but I don't have this feeling like Hermene is sitting on your check, giddy over not paying you or any other person who has conributed to the mag this year. Furthermore, I'm not so sure how impactful your letters will be now that everyone knows they're in the hole and have stopped production. Have you called her recently? Maybe now that they've announced being broke, she'll tell you the real reason behind why they won't pay up: they just don't have it right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933499.post-1132548211032629622005-11-20T20:43:00.000-08:002005-11-20T20:43:00.000-08:00I'd go after her with everything in my power.

Imagine how many other writers gave up and just wrote it off? I'd keep it legal and professional, but I say take her to school.<BR/><BR/>How about putting a "Savoy Payment XX Days Overdue" clock in your sidebar and main website?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933499.post-1132546385059659932005-11-20T20:13:00.000-08:002005-11-20T20:13:00.000-08:00I think the amount is enough to be worth my time. ...I think the amount is enough to be worth my time. Let's say that I could use it to buy most of my Xmas gifts for this year. <BR/><BR/>I thought about going to Chicago, and I speak at Purdue in February, so I may make a visit. And before I send out any letter, be sure that I would get it vetted by my lawyer. <BR/><BR/>I feel you on the closing. We were on the other end (the seller) and the buyer's agent was straight incompetent. Our closing was delayed and them the buyer had the nerve to have an attitude. Thank GOD our agent was the bomb.Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814822977297662188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933499.post-1132544873425542942005-11-20T19:47:00.000-08:002005-11-20T19:47:00.000-08:00My first thought is "How much $ are we talking abo...My first thought is "How much $ are we talking about?" Is it worth your time? Is it a matter of principle only? <BR/><BR/>I HATE being taken advantage of. For example, I tried to buy a house this summer. Put in a bid, was accepted, pre-approved, the whole 9. The problem came at closing. The seller had a first and second... ended up being upside down. We found this out when we arrived at the closing and was told that she wasn't coming -- she didn't know she would owe another 8k. To make a long story short, after 6 weeks of delays and paying another $500 to extend the loan, we backed out and bought another house. The seller didn't want to return the escrow money. We ended up splitting the $1000 with her. Granted it was only $1000 but in my view, she messed up and I wanted to take her to court. The husband said his time was worth more than the hassle. <BR/><BR/>So.... think about it. The next time you are in Chicago, it would be worth a visit to her office to pick up the check in person. I'd try a face to face before sending any letter to advertisers... Wouldn't want YOU to get sued.;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
