TLDR: CJ has been running me around for a year on payment, how should I proceed in return?
I’m at a loss for my next step, I have been in contact with these people since January over commissions from the fall season of 2021. They keep regurgitating excuses in their “support” system and literally have had the same “specialist” on the case for 8 months. (I've asked for them to escalate to someone else, but I'm still dealing with this rep)
It’s the same song and dance, “you will be paid next cycle, no further action from you should be needed) and then, of course, further action IS needed, I write the exact same complaint when they haven’t paid me, yet again.
Then I finally get a follow up a couple of weeks later from the same rep in the theme of “did you try contacting your bank) which is something I’ve done multiple times at this point and refuse to wait on hold for an hour, only for my bank to tell me (yet again) that there’s no problem with my account info.
(I want to note that I had been paid in early 2021 with this exact same bank info, info that a rep from Publicis even called to confirm, as CJ is now a part of them)
Well, they’ve just responded like this again, and I’m done. I can’t do this song and dance anymore. How they continue to piss someone off that knows how to create websites, write SEO articles, and spam the shit out of social media is beyond me.
After a year I’m ready to go another route, these are my questions.
Should I email the vendor I promote products for to tell them that I can no longer promote them due to CJ practices?
Do I go into vindictive mode, build a website detailing my story (I have screenshots for the year), and try to rally others who CJ has burnt just to make noise?
Does a case like this constitute getting a lawyer getting involved? (The commissions aren’t significant, it’s just principle at this point)
