Citibank - Nouvelle Talent
Promotion Workers Still Unpaid Four Months After ATM Campaign

Citibank contracted with Nouvelle Talent last year to have workers promote its presence of ATMs in 7/11s. This contract and assignment was finalized in October. The various talent from Nouvelle, including myself, wore Citibank company t-shirts on the 7/11 premises and passed out Citibank/7/11 mugs and a Citibank special offer to potential clients.

Initially, my agent, April, told me that the time frame for invoicing on this project would be about 30 days and a week for check clearing time. The president of Nouvelle, Toni Sipka, extended the time (some time much later) to 45 days with a 10-day check processing turnaround. By this time, Christmas was approaching, and I, as well as other talent, called and e-mailed the company office for a response, with no success. Finally, after Christmas, Toni stated that Citibank had not paid her for our project, but that she was working on it.

After several e-mails sent by Toni, I contacted Citibank myself and confirmed that payment had been made for this project and that if we needed any further assistance, we should contact Nouvelle only. Nouvelle gives us one story while Citibank offers another, and Citibank refuses to investigate or reveal when Nouvelle received its payment. Toni now threatens us by stating she will deduct a percentage of our wages if we contact Citibank about this.

I have documentation of everything! Four months later, I am still unpaid, and I am pretty angry about not getting paid for a job well done. It was so well done that I was offered employment by one of the Citibank offices. I have borrowed money, accrued late fees, and delayed many bills. I would like to take them to court now.
