Me:Well, I don't know what company they are referring to, but I wouldn't suggest BPI Brand to anyone because I never got paid by them and I never get responses from them via email and I've called dozens of times and I've never gotten an answer.
Note: I've called this company more times than I can count and emailed them at least a dozen times and I hadn't gotten a reply since January 2012 when they told me they were sending me a check that I never received.
So Lindsay, the group administrator had this to say in response:
Please refrain from bashing agencies specifically, SupermodelDominique Hudson. This group should be a place to discuss issues and industry-related topics. In order for us to allow this, we need people to keep their responses factual and refrain from bashing specific agencies or posting based on emotions. We want agency owners to continue posting opportunities here and if we let conversations go negative, they may no longer feel comfortable doing so, which would hurt the members of the group overall.
I understand that payment issues can be frustrating. We've all experienced them at one time or another. Please make sure the agency has all of your paperwork and correct contact information. Make sure that you have followed all the proper chains of command in trying to make contact in every way possible (phone, e-mail, letter, etc.). September is quite sometime, so I would recommend sending a certified letter with delivery confirmation that includes all of your information, a copy of your signed paperwork, the event worked (brand, date, time, pay rate), even a copy of the booking confirmation e-mail if you have it. You can also use outlets like Event Speak, or attempt to make contact with the agency directly on their personal social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Good luck!

I appreciate the fact that she's afraid to mention a companies name, but my information is factual and not based on emotions.
-I worked for this company. FACT
-They did not pay me. FACT
-I contacted them numerous times. FACT
-I didn't get replies. FACT
-I wrote on their Facebook page. FACT
-They deleted my comment. FACT
-They removed me from their page. FACT
I'm confused about what she thinks is factual or considered an industry issue. I think she should post her definition of those terms as well. Otherwise, I'm not changing my factual story. Oh, I wasn't changing it anyway.
Still Moving Forward,
Supermodel Dominique
