<p>What am I missing here? I don't understand the core issue at all. So Lorihad another agency cover a job for her, she gave them the job, maybe for a small commission, maybe not, this other agency has a reporter cover the job and then won't send out the transcript until they're paid? What does Lori owe this networking agency, a commission fee?</p>

<p>Oh. If that's the situation, then, that is wrong. If they both agreed to 45 days payment, but, then, after the job was taken, the agency or reporter demanded payment before releasing the transcript, then, that is unethical. I do agree with that scenario, Kelli. That is terrible.</p>

<p>Deanna, what Lori is saying is the terms were agreed to up front. However, this agency waited till they took the job and then changed their mind on the payment terms "after the fact." That is highly unethical in my book.</p>

<p>I think it is understandable for any firm - or reporter - to request payment from an unknown agency. It appears there was a miscommunication between you and the networked agency. I don't see it as though anyone is at fault, just to use it as something learned. Payment terms should be expressed at the time of offer and acceptance of a job. It appears neither of you did. I do not fault the networked agency, nor you. If you think the work product is good, just clarify with the networked…</p>

I do not fault the networked agency, nor you. If you think the work product is good, just clarify with the networked agency, or Certified Independent Freelance Reporter, etc., the payment terms beforehand. Some accept credit cards; checks can be overnighted. All depends on the parties.</p>

<p>Amanda,you hit the nail on the head!!! Yes, that's what I plan to do...just pay and move on. I just hate that he is using a reporter like that with out their knowledge...because I know I wouldn't agree to work with someone that does that!!! I'm sure he's probably not going to pay the reporter until he absolutely has to! Thanks for your input!!! </p>

<p>I'm thinking Lori needed coverage for her agency and got the networking agency to cover--now the networking agency says show me the money and won't send transcript before paid. It's not holding hostage, IMO; it's getting prepayment--"We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express." Now, this kind of thing should be spelled out BEFORE the job is taken. They sprung it on Lori after the fact (should that be hyphenated?), which is what I gather. </p>
