I am in a similar situation. Two days ago, a customer suddenly decided they did not like my designs, AFTER I had been working on it for 2 months. They refused to pay me $350 and I have been confused as to what to do. Seeing your post has not only brought laughter to my day, but has given me faith that those who do such things will receive "poetic justice"motivationaltutorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304533826097187485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804179545435197675.post-20959445887986680052011-02-20T12:43:07.654-08:002011-02-20T12:43:07.654-08:00Hi, I can't believe they did this.

I had a client who sent us a letter about how pleased she was with our service and when we received her check and deposited it, they was a stop payment on it. I have been trying to collect for this and she has been ignoring our calls. You did a fantastic job with the site to. How do I get in touch with you for some possible work on a site. You definitely seem like the right person and your pricing seems very reasonable for a high quality site. They couldn't event pay you $3200 for all your time and the great service you provided to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804179545435197675.post-52001919067946844622010-06-21T12:21:01.855-07:002010-06-21T12:21:01.855-07:00Thanks Jared!

I'm adding these guy's names to my regularly updated list of "Uncool people I screen out / don't work with / have pulled a d*ck move".<br /><br />Stiff upper lip, Rachael. Remember that professionals always get paid. Don't sacrifice who you are or your quality of work. Just start getting the check first. Contact me through J and when I have some site design I need done I'll get a hold of you. <br /><br />Aloha!<br /><br />JaredAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563778954162042360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804179545435197675.post-76291135424778583902010-06-16T22:23:05.756-07:002010-06-16T22:23:05.756-07:00Thanks J!

I do however recognize piss-poor(as my mother was fond of saying) business practices. The actions that have been explained above could only loosely be categorized as business.<br /><br />Hopefully This blog will motivate the Rachael's<br />anti-stellar client to pay what is owed.<br />If it were me, I would leave this blog live until they paid the $1600 plus interest.<br /><br />There should be no mercy for scammers online.

If they showed me video of her robbing a bank in broad daylight I'd still be inclined to look for loopholes. That's what Dad's do.<br />But, truly, I know her as a person who has had to battle shyness to go out and start her own service business - and I've seen her try really hard to make her customers very happy.<br /><br />Fancy footwork and gaming people are not her forte.<br /><br />I've been privy to this deal as it unfolded, and it seemed clear from the start that this client has the potential to pull a stunt like this.<br /><br />When you pay a web designer to create your site - there are always changes along the way - and I know Rachael put up a lot of changes - and even an extra mini-site to make the client happy.<br /><br />Since no website is ever truly finished, there comes a point where the "design" work is done and the continuing work of webmaster must begin.<br /><br />Rachael reached that point and continued for free until it just became ridiculous.<br /><br />I hope the client sees the value of paying their bills - and not stealing money from a young woman to run their business.Rick Buttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441254806806495326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804179545435197675.post-75754355304835613432010-06-16T18:50:15.428-07:002010-06-16T18:50:15.428-07:00Thanks Jason!

Their letter/response is lame sounds like they are just trying to make up things to help justify not paying for the design services. <br /><br />Jason@envisionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192417321068272138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804179545435197675.post-53593441428899958402010-06-16T17:14:45.403-07:002010-06-16T17:14:45.403-07:00This is absolutely absurd and yet so common.

Shameful and I will be helping you spread the word on this.<br /><br />You want to hit these guys hard with online reputation management, including rating sites -- and SEO that targets their business. <br /><br />Seems to me, they need to be taught a lesson from true web divas, they clearly have no idea of how to handle business with integrity and as gentlemen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092419641877476306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804179545435197675.post-72258045932794561102010-06-16T16:50:51.114-07:002010-06-16T16:50:51.114-07:00I have worked with Rachael in the past and we had ...I have worked with Rachael in the past and we had a WONDERFUL experience and would highly recommend her to anyone I know who is building a website. All work was done on time, to our specifications, and some things were even thrown in for free just because she's nice like that. I would find it VERY hard to believe that what Mr. Rosholt accuses her of in his letter is accurate. Shame on him! Just pay her what she's owed and move on. If they didn't like the way the project was going they should have stopped it oohhhhh about a thousand dollars ago.
