[BC] Overdue Client...

[Burt I. Weiner]

As I said before, I tend to respond to people's calls and emergencies 
the same way they respond to my invoices.  Have you had a heart to 
heart with them about this matter?  At a minimum they would probably 
be on my C.O.D. list with the first C.O.D. including the past due amount.

>Here are some facts on this:

>*  They still owe for invoices dated 01 Nov, 01 Dec, and 01 Jan.  It is not
>a lot of money.
>
>*  They have no capital facilities budget of which I'm aware.  About all
>their equipment dates to the mid-80's and is simply worn out and failing.
>They have been notified of the issues for years.  No action.
>
>*  The roof leaks at the transmitter site.  That caused some equipment
>failures and off-air time.  They were notified when it was first spotted.
>No action.
>
>*  They are the last tenant in their studio building which is for sale.
>Potentially they would need to build a new studio within a short time frame.
>I recommended they begin the process as soon as possible.  No action.

>*  If you want to know the station, drop me a note.
