Hi guys,

I'm an American who is proud to say he's been writing for AcademicExperts.us/UVOCorp for about three years now (on and off). It has been my pleasure writing for them, and they have never let me down. They've always struck me as quite professional and ethical, or at least as much as you can expect for a gray market industry.

However, I've just recently noticed an unnerving discrepancy in my list of completed orders and my financial overview. I'm hoping people here can maybe shed some light on it.

There was this one order I had in the middle of September. A high school history research paper about a noet scrap left by Lincoln, the founding principles of the United States, the Constitution, et cetera. I put a great deal of time+effort into this paper, and was quite satisfied with the quality even though it was on the lower end of the pay grade for me ($59 for 8 pages).

Long story short, this quickly turned into a nightmare order. A few days later, the customer orders a revision. They had shown it to their professor, who basically told them that everything's wrong and that the collocation of the words "pensive" and "reverie" showed up in a plagiarism report. The revision request was inane and incomprehensible.

It was obvious to me that the professor simply didn't believe that they wrote it. Not my problem, I thought, however I volunteered to accept their re-write request anyway. I wrote them another 8 page paper, hitting and exceeding all their revision criteria, and trying to tailor it more to the realistic expectations of their high school teacher, but without actively trying to make it totally inane and incomprehensible. Very, very ESL. I spend six hours doing this, and am again satisfied that I met all the criteria of their instructions.

A few days later I got another revision request. Actually, it wasn't a revision request through the UVOCorp system, but rather a message from the customer. It was in especially brief and broken, so I disregarded it. Maybe a day later I get more messages, very angry, very ESL, and kinda cynical. Long story short, there's some drama, and I confer with the UVOCorp people behind the curtain, and it fizzles out. Anyway, an understanding is reached between the UVOCorp people and I that I had met and exceeded my duties and that the customer was a bad egg. Towards the end of it (although maybe after UVOCorp cut them off) I even offer to revise the paper again (though on a very limited basis). After all, the pattern was clear: Their fickle revisions were the result of an instructor who was in utter disbelief, and would continue to send them away until they wrote the goddamn paper themselves. I wrote them two top-notch papers for the price of one, meeting all their criteria even when they changed it. (To illustrate just how fickle and inane their criteria was, for the first revision they had me remove all the quotes and citations completely, and for the second revision they wanted the citations put back in. In fact, I think I did put the citations back in, now that I remember it; there were several revisions within the course of two papers.)

Anyway, after this appeared to be all settled and done, the paper ended up sitting in limbo for over two weeks as "done/delivered", but still "current" instead of sifting over to my Financial Overview page as it should have within a few days of completion. I mentioned this to the Support Department in passing a couple times, eventually writing to the Payment Department a few days ago. No reply.

At this point I took screenshots of all relevant parts of my UVOCorp account. As of today, the order has disappeared completely. (Although I can still find it if I search for the order #.) it has not been factored into my financial balance.

I'm not sure if there's some latency between an order losing its "current" status and it being computed into one's finances, but to be honest I'm rather anxious about this. I currently have $830.55 owed to me in the Financial Overview, with another ~$250 in the pipeline. The next payment period is the third week of October.

If anyone, or a UVOCorp representative, has any answers for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Again, I've always seen no reason to distrust UVOCorp and am proud to work for them, but in light of their unresponsiveness on the matter, I am worried that I'm working for the wrong company.

All the best,
Bob
