RAW TV LIMITED: THEY DO NOT PAY FREELANCERS

I am a researcher in South Africa, I worked as a freelancer for RAW TV LIMITED a production company based in London UK. After doing the work and finishing within the deadline, they refused to pay, sent me from pillar to post. I had to get a lawyer but still then they did not pay everything owed to me. Instead they split my invoice into 3, I incurred a lot of bank charges for an invoice that was suppose to be paid just once off. Today they still owe me an outstanding amount from that same invoice. Worst of all after so many promises to pay me, THEY BLOCKED MY EMAILS. I believe they are crooks looking to exploit freelancers and not pay them, taking advantage of the fact that it's an international company. My advise to other archive researchers, DO NOT WORK WITH RAW TV , ASK FOR MONEY UPFRONT AND NOT START ON THE RESEARCH BEFORE FUNDS CLEAR IN YOUR ACCOUNT. Personally I will NEVER work with them again and will fight them till they pay every cent they owe me. I have warned my other colleagues in production, but in case you are new or never worked with this company before, trust me they are crooks.
