FEATURED PUBLIC FORUM THREADRequest for feedback about Integra Partners
CityGuard writes:
Integra Partners went through a period in 2011 when many affiliates reported payment problems. In addition to the payment problems, the ownership at the time was non-responsive to communication attempts. Since that time, Integra Partners was acquired. The new owners have contacted the affiliates and resolved payments. It appears to me that they've been proactive in contacting affiliates who were owed money, resolved each issue, and were responsive throughout the process. But when we go through these situations I always want to understand if there is any information that I'm missing. Is anyone aware of any unresolved affiliate payment issues with this brand? read more
