Please consider this just a vent on my end.  I  do not want anyone to take this as a criticism. 

There are always questions about a company that does not pay.  And there are ALWAYS responses of "they didn't pay me either".  I don't get this.  When we....the client, ask you.....the provider, to give us a product, how can there be cases of non-payment?  When there is the case of "we pay you when we get paid"...that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.  When you get a product, you pay for it.  Regardless......no if's and's or but's.  End of discussion.  The utility companies provide services, most people pay them for this service.  That is how the world works.  When you go to a restaurant, you are provided a service, you pay them for that service.  You do not tell them "Hey, I'll pay you when I get paid" 

If we, as the Title Companies, have problems getting paid for the services we provide, through you, we need to take the initiative, put that company on a pre-pay.  You want an order, send a check for the product you are ordering and we will process it.  Then, there is NEVER a case of "you get paid when we get paid".  The money is already there.

Maybe it is just me, but why make this industry any harder than it needs to be?  There are so may other things to worry about that payment should NEVER be one of them.  I am sure that some people will have a problem with what I have said, but maybe it will open some eyes.  Give them that "hit in the head" that they need to try and make this wonderful business we all call a career that much easier to enjoy.

Unfortunately, I can only control the minuscule amount of orders I am responsible for in the grander scheme of things.  How I wish, there would never be a need for another post of "hey, has anyone had a problem with payment from xyz".  But, I guess that is the same a wishing for world peace, huh?
