Company Openly and Notoriously Refuses to Pay Amounts They Admit are Due

<p>Africa Investor magazine is an extremely narcissistic and inefficient business, from my experience. I was asked to write an article for the magazine and they published my article happily, informing me that they would pay my invoice. After nearly 2 years of painstaking chasing, they still have not paid and even had the audacity to allege that I should not speak bluntly to them about the matter. They claim to have an accountant and defer all payment issues to her, but she is actually a consultant who only works one day a week and has no power over the bank account. </p> <p> </p> <p>They asked for multiple banking details from me and then claimed that they had processed the payment through an account in Mauritius. However, when simply asked for the SWIFT confirmation, they became enraged. The funds never arrived and I reported the issue to my bank - and the bank suspected that the entire transaction was **********.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have now no other recourse than to sue the company, which is unforutnate since it is obvious that they are delinquent. I cannot understand how they have a capital investment division because they do not appear to run a proper business.</p>
