I have been working for ATA for about 4 years.  I always get paid for every search.  They are always about 90 days behind.  For example, I got a check today for over 2k covering searches done between 7-6-11 through 07-29-11.  It seems that once an abstractor starts asking for payment, then ATA replaces them with another abstractor.  I have never asked them to pay earlier.  I understand that abstracting companies sometimes has trouble with cash flow.  Patience is a virtue.
