About the no-pay list, I think my no-pay list varies with the amount of time I spend on the phone talking with the A/P people in the companies who owe my company money.  Last week there were five companies on my little yellow "NO-WORK-FOR" sticky that lists the current no-pay vendors.  This week, two of them came through, so it's down to three.  One of those, United Document Services, appears to have gone out of business, so I guess I have one candidate for your list.

As to ATA, I have worked for them in the past and although they were slow, they came through and do not currently reside on my little yellow "NO-WORK-FOR" sticky. Haven't had work from them in many months.  Thanks for the heads-up that they may be in trouble business-wise.

Does it seem to you that we abstractors are a relative constant in this business, while it's the middle companies, the "vendor managers," who come and go?  In a little pond like Vermont, I can tell pretty easily when a vendor manager has landed a particular lending institution, and when that lending institution dumps that vendor manager for a different middle company.  We abstractors are still here doing the ground-truth research.
