Hi, I have a bit of a strange situation.
I worked for a Loss Assessor as a sales consultant (not employed, but under a consultancy agreement).
Prior to joining, I specifically requested that the agreement be changed to allow for commission to be paid to be for claims that I signed up even after I left. They initially weren't happy to do this, but I explained that if my work was to sign up clients, then it shouldn't matter to me that the funds from the settlement of the claim don't come in for several months or even a year after I've left - if I've signed them up, I'm due the commission. They eventually agreed and prior to starting the contract was amended to reflect this.
Fast forward around a year later and I've since left and am no being updated as to the progress of the claims I signed up. I'm therefore unable to see how much I am owed. The amount owed will continue to vary as and when claims get paid. However, they're not providing any updates now that I've left.
I was told (not in the contract, but via email) that their head of sales would check the status of the claims I've signed up monthly. I heard nothing for a few months, I email him and was ignored for about about another month. I emailed on of the Directors who said they'd get it sorted. I then get a payment for about £60 with not enough details to know which claim it relates to, not any update on the other claims.
I'm sure this is a tactic to frustrate and make me just give up. But the commission should be worth several thousand pounds and I'm struggling to work out how to get the info I need. Do I need to get some sort of injunction to compel them to give me the info I need?
I really don't want to spent too much time and money on just getting them to give me monthly updates, or have to do it every month as the claims progress and commission change accordingly.
Please can someone let me know what the next step should be?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and any responses will be gratefully received.
