I was working as a freelance writer for a company called Due Now in Alberta Canada. The company deals in term paper writing and sales. DueNow.Com #200, 8657 - 51 Ave Edmonton, Alberta Canada T6E 6A8

The correspondence is only through email , the copies of which I have available right from the day I was hires to date. The company has not paid me since November 2005. The total sum owed to me is US$ $883.10 .

The company has delayed the payment through one pretex or the other. They sent me three cheques from the Royal Bank of Canada. When the cheques were deposited with the bank in India and sent for collection , the bank returned the cheques saying the signatures do not tally. T

he company next sent me an intimation that they would transfer money through western union. When I checked at my end for the transfer , I found that they had withdrawn the transaction on the same date.

Now they have not written back to me since February 2006 and have shut down my account access to their website.duenow.com

I have all the relevant documentation in terms of emails , Copies of the bounced cheques and a copy from westernunion collection center saying transfer withdrawn. To top it all the royal bank of canada has charged me a fine of US$ 50

DUE NOW.com is a big cheat...writers beware...the address posted on their site is fake , there is no response to emails...and they just cut you off without paying...All the hard work down the drain.... I tried contacting lawyers in canada ...but they said one has to be there personally ....They sent me three cheques all of which bounced and I ended up getting charged for that....

I tried contacting lawyers in canada ,,,even had a friend check the phone book for DUENOW...Some one picked up the phone and hung up on being asked about the payment...If anyone has any contact details for this company or has manged to get paid by them do let me know..
