@margie

calling bank:
no answer:
arghh

@margie

wow! good for you! i just checked mine no money yet, maybe in a few hours... keeping my fingers crossed!!! ;)

EW_writer, how many days does a wire transfer usually takes for you? what country are you from btw, if you don't mind my asking :D

@margie

Did you get your earnings in your bank already?

:(

@ victim writer 2 & emjay

Guys, it doesn't help anyone to take out all your rants and frustrations in this forum. we are all here to tell our stories and get updates about things that may be happening to another writer, or to the company - essaywriters and writers.ph.

it's understandable that you are all pissed and that i agree that we are all entitled to our earnings because we really worked hard for it, but, again, it doesn't help you or us, when you speak like everyone here is your enemy or co-conspirators of EW and writers.ph.

I have been working for them and their support are courteous naman as well as the Makati office, everytime I call them to ask about why my salary is delayed. I always pester and message them like maybe 20 times or more a day, but I never cursed nor said anything bad about them. you see, i believe that they have the power to hold my earnings if they disliked me so i tried to be makulit but in a nice way, so that, they won't say that i was rude or anything.

About margie---
i read her previous posts and i have been corresponding with margie as we have the same situation and problem re: dec and jan payments and shifting to wire - my purpose is to get an update what is happening to the other writer so that i can figure out what will happen to me, or what will not happen.

as of now, no money in the bank yet but it takes 2-3 banking days, so i'll give them till wednesday

As pepi said, no point antagonizing as they did their part of the deal (hopefully), now i just have to wait.

AND NO... I AM NOT DEFENDING EW OR WRITERS.PH.

in case i get accused of doing so...

Yeah it reflected on my earnings too that I got paid January 3 but no money in the bank yet. The bank said it takes 2- 3days, saturday tomorrow so i guess next week. I hope there's no more delays.

Hello NO PAYMENT YET

same with margie, December and January now :(

btw, i met another writer who also works for EW, and she gets paid in the period of 6 months consistently!!! why is that? we live in the same country and she gets paid and i don't?

is it a trick to have an earning below $100 to get paid? hmmm she only turns in $40 every cut off.

hahaha! you're right Margie.

If they'll pay I'll be very happy, if they won't... then I can't do anything about that anymore.

Happy New Year!!!

p.s. I even wished them Happy Holidays hoping the spirit of the holidays would get to them hehehe but efforts are futile, so it seems...

I submitted my wire transfer details and I did not stop bugging them until they verified my payment detail so that processing my payment may commence. However, they said that they will process both my payments for Dec 15 and Jan1 because I chose wire transfer $400 no fee, and since my accumulated payments for Dec 15 and Jan 1 would amount to $400 they decided to process it on Jan3 instead.

It was on their message to their writers that everybody should use wire transfer as their primary method of payment and they promised that they won't take any fees, but when I told them that I want my $250 before the year ends (since they promised they won't take any fees), they told me I signed for the $400 no fee so I have to wait for the sum to reach that amount before anything can be processed.

I would have changed my method of payment to $200 ($15 fee) if I didn't realize that it would take them again a long time to verify it.

So, now, I gave in, no money before the New Year. January 3 is my best bet.

@EW_Writer

What do you mean first time? This is not my first time to receive payment. The first two paychecks were a week delayed because it takes one week for xoom to process the payment before pick-up. I was okay with that already. However, I got upset when it's been a week after Dec 15 and I didn't get any email notification from xoom, so I started asking them what's going on.

This delay started my suspicions and I came across this forum and discovered how they conned many writers before me. However, I am not all pessimistic, I still have my fingers crossed hoping I'd get paid for my efforts.

As do all other writers...Urgh.

See? That's very low. It's bad enough that they are scamming the writers and they don't pay on time (if they ever pay at all).

I tried applying to another company but it turns out he is getting his orders from essaywriters.net ahahah! and he pays in peso, which is lower than the actual rate of course to generate an income for him. Quite a character.

@Margie:

Nada. Zilch. Nunca.

Hi, I checked bestessays and superioressays prices and they charge $10 per page, and then when I checked with writers they only pay the writers $1.4... I think that's lower than 1/8.

I haven't been paid. :(

yes, i am. the accountant said Monday, and now they said that they are having a problem with xoom and they want me to set up my wire transfer account. i have to check with my bank yet about this one but i rerequested them to process it using xoom NOW...


they owe me $250

now, i'm still waiting again.


what's up? I got the same message too... arrghh

From them:

you should not worry,as we are not a fraud company.

The delay occurred thus month due to the fact that we started cooperating with a new bank they check all the transactions thoroughly and that's why money is currently held by the bank. The transaction will be completed this week for sure.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience and we will make sure such an unpleasant situation won't take place in future.

Best regards,
Anna Grahm

I'm not feeling any better. :(

why can't they just pay their writers what is due to them? The writer's salary is 1/8th of the price the customer is paying for the paper. So it means that 7/8ths goes to theie big pockets and a mere 8%, they could not spare to keep their writers happy?

Hi, I'm currently working for a local company but I think it is an extension of essaywriters.net since the payments that I received before was sent by essaywriters.net, not the local company that I was supposedly working for. Here's the thing, every pay date, I always have to ask and continue on messaging them to send me my payment, which they would after a week. However, now, after reading all the posts here, I'm a little scared that my payment for Dec 15 won't be transferred to me as it is already one week delayed.

margie: they promised to send me my payment Monday the latest. Let's see.
