I worked for Wolfgang Research for over 2 years as a Independent Contractor. At first I did Mortgage collection then after a year I started doing Recruiting. I hired Courthouse Researchers to collect Mortgage data at local courthouses. I was paid a set pay every week for Recruiting and also I was paid for online mortgage collection. Every thing was going fine. They sent me gifts. To make up for the very low pay. I stuck with it because I needed the money.
About a month ago I recieve an E-mail about a decrease in pay due to " the slow real estate market". I had, had it at that point and quit. There were nasty e-mails exchanged between me and Wolfgang. Well 2 weeks later I never recieved my check. I e-mailed Jennifer and Wolfgang asking where my check was. I received a response from Wolfgang saying " Since I never gave a 2 week notice, they were deducting $200 from my check, and they did not process my last 2 invoices that I sent to them, he said he never recieved my invoice for 8/30 and my invoice for 8/22 was not processed because he never sent a confirmation to me saying he recieved it. To make a long story short. They are telling me I owe them money. Since I never sent in my Assignment Journal to them like I was suppose they have no proof that I worked and they are sueing me for all the pay I received from April to August.
OK... I thought of the whole 2 week notice thing about deducting $200 for terminating early. I was told. Just recently that I could not associate my name with their Company. Eventhough I was their main Recruiter, and I signed every email with my Name and Wolfgang Research. They never said anything to me untill August.. When I quit. I hired over 30 Courthouse Researchers from April to August. So they are telling me they have no proof that I worked and they want the money back that they already paid me. I am being Sued by these People for over $2000... Totally outragous.
Be aware of this Company, they will try everything in the book to get out of paying you, when you quit. They try to control you, when you are legally a Independent Contractor and not an Employee of theirs.
