Hi Everybody,

I am happy to announce that Colt studios has now paid this debt in full, and no longer owes anything to Lucky Video. I'd like to thank all that was kind enough to offer real help in the matter with good advise. She wasn't able to afford the 33% that a formal collection company was wanting to charge her, as well, for whomever has not been in LA, the cost to retain a lawyer there is very, very high. In most cases, and I mean 99%, she would have been required to put up a large retainer, thus eating up whatever money she would have made, still losing money. No one should have to go through what she went through to get paid, but sometimes in this business, people seem to overlook the fact that not everybody is raking in millions. Some of the people in this business are very nice, truly good people that are just trying to do a job and get paid for it. I personally have been the victim of big business people just plainly screwing me over with empty promises and then turning their back on me in a day, leaving me and my family out to hang. I felt badly for this girl, and just wanted to help her.Karma is a truth of life and reality folks. If you do enough good things for people, and never ask for anything in return, good things can and will happen to those people. I am blessed with a great company, wonderful friends, and an unbelievable home life. The reason for this I believe, is because I do get "Nuts" when somebody picks on somebody weaker than them just for the sake of doing so. If more people were willing to help other people, rather than mock them, maybe today's generation wouldn't be so fucked up in the head. Allot of this post was geared to another board that a couple of people, for some reason decided that it would be better, or funner, or whatever, to start a mini bash on me, which i feel was uncalled for, but whatever. I do want to make it clear that everybody HERE on GWW has been both helpful, as well kind and genuine in their responses and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this. I just felt that this post explains everything in one shot rather that dragging this out any longer. The bottom line is I was just trying to help a friend and business associate get paid money that was unbelievably long past due. My mission has been accomplished, and I think it's fair to say that you all help make this happen, therefore thank you all very much!!

It's really nice to see that a positive resolution came out of this, and happened so quickly. It's just unfortunate that someone would need to resort to "going public" in order to get payment; it never ceases to amaze me how companies -- and not just in the adult biz -- will stonewall forever when they think they can get away with it, and then a little public scrutiny and the problem magically goes away. Hopefully everyone is happy with the resolution.

We are lucky enough to have great relationships and timely payment with all of our current customers, including our billers, our VOD providers, Marina Pacific, and the other companies who buy our products either physically or electronically, but we do have one or two companies that we previously did business with who owe us a pretty tidy sum ($10,000+)... perhaps I'll have to follow your lead if I'm unable to convince them to pay up
