Janice has met several adjusters working the hail claims here in Ft. Smith and they complained of working for vendors in Katrina that owe them a number of thousands of dollors for work completed, but refuse to pay them. As independent adjusters it is imperitive that we know who we work for, or we may work for nothing. It seems, as time progresses, there are those with schemes to get adjusters to work, collect the money, then bail out on the people who earned them the money. We as a group need to be able to identify those legitimate vendors and those who wish to suck blood from us. There has been several efforts to start an adjusters group, but most don't wish to be a part of a group, pronouncing their independacy as being too important. To those who feel being independent is more important than starting a group to represent you, keep your mouths shut. I know that sounds a little mean, but I am tired of getting e-mails from adjusters asking for advice on how to collect their money and they are within that group that thing being independent is more important. You choose to be independent, so don't bother us with your collection problems. |
