Judy,

I am in no way upset about  you or others discussing our discount program on this forum.  I appreciate the feedback.  Being an abstractor myself  I understand and appreciate all the hard work of all our vendors.  Unfortunately, I am not in control( I do have some influence though!) of when we cut our vendors checks.  Our company's receivables currently avg 50 days.  The discount option was created as a way to help vendors with cash flow issues.  I continually request, no avail, that   we pay all vendors in 30 days.  Please understand that we value your work and we do pay for all work completed accurately and in a timely fashion.  I gather from this forum that some vendors do not have an issue with being paid rather an issue with the time frame.  I only have a handful of clients that pay in less than 30 days.  Do you or anyone else have some feedback on what a reasonable time frame for payment is? 

Thanks again for your feedback.  I can use your responses when discussing payables with the owner.
