I inquired recently about payment of past-due invoices and received a letter from the Accounting Manager at Contemporary.  Her name is Linda Kester at 716-564-1500, ext. 18.  They have transferred their accounting dept. to Amherst, NY and they are obviously having trouble determining who needs to be paid.

The letter more or less puts the blame on abstractors for improper billing/accounting techniques, and claims that payments have been made and not posted.  Here is an quote from the letter:

"In the past couple of weeks it has been determined that several of the older orders referenced on statements were already processed for payment by CRSI...The Accounting Department will always take the time to review your statements...however the time it takes to research old orders already paid by the A/P specialist could have been time spent reconciling future payments."

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that if I can cross reference the orders that are specified on their payment summary with my outstanding invoices and there are orders left over that have not been paid, it is not MY accounting that is off.  I continue to wait for my check(s)...
