I have seen posts from some who have said that they received payment from Contemporary.  When they were paid, or how "past-due" the account was, I don't know.  In any regard, there does seem to be some logic in paying the more recent invoices first.  If you don't pay your current obligations, you won't have anyone to do your work.  In such a case, you can't make any money to pay the obligations that are past due.  Perhaps its not my place to speculate - I really don't know who is owed what, or who has and has not been paid. 

My only point is that if you don't keep the business afloat - no one gets paid.

Best,
Robert A. Franco
