Hi All,
Over a period of years I built up a significant balance of affiliate earnings at a UK web host where I am a customer.
Having needed the funds I clicked the "request withdrawal" button but never got a reply.
I chased a few times and eventually got a reply from the owner suggesting the balance was "too high" and he couldn't pay. He asked if he could pay it incrementally.
I said OK but then he "disappeared" again.
This has actually being going on for months / years.
A couple of times my account has needed renewing and I have requested that they pay the invoice via the affiliate balance.
They don't reply but normally do this, but it has meant downtime.
I'm a patient guy and understand only too well cashflow etc, but my family could really do with the money.
Any ideas on how to get the money, or do I have to go the legal route? (Probably small claims court)?
Also a lesson learnt for anyone reading: Don't treat affiliate balances like a bank account. Get payouts as fast as you can!
Thanks for reading!
