SWIPe – German Company Documentum/CYA – word of warning
Dear Contractors,
The owner of SWIPe prefers his holidays in Spain instead of paying the Documentum people he contracts in to do work for him. He’s quite happy to be in ‘breach of contract’ and default on payments as long as it doesn’t effect his holidays in Cuba and Spain. Perhaps he even thinks us British people are too stupid to realise Germany has some rather good lawyers and a reasonably ofay legal system.
Please see the email below to me dated 17th September 2007, I am to-date still waiting to receive a significant amount of money due to me by this company. Note how he rubs it in about Spain and how he spent MY MONEY on a trade show.

Hi Kevin!Thanks for your note and of cause I’m fine if you can do any extra weeks for BI.I just returned from Spain yesterday night but I guess the Appartment has been sorted.I had to cover taxes and pay for a fair we are attending. Because of this I’m not able to pay You before I get the money by BI. They are a very good payer so I expect there will not be much delay. I am very sorry for You to cause You some trouble.
My apologies!
Christian

Over the period of 7 months of working for Christian Schacht of SWIPe, I’ve had to pay bookkeepers to constantly remind him to pay my invoices. The problems he caused with late payments was instrumental in the suspension of my bank account and subsequently my mobile phone. While he was ‘living it up’ in Cuba and probably other holiday destinations, I was pretty much stranded in Germany and unable to fly back to the UK for almost 2 months as a result of the bank removing overdraft facilities because (they said) my payments were irregular!!
So, if you are a Documentum Contractor or have skills in the CYA product, please take into consideration the problems I had with SWIPe before you accept a contract with them.
If you are thinking of getting CYA or Documentum services from SWIPe please bear in mind the person put on site might (from time to time) feel the need to walk off site or be preoccupied with difficulties with regards to their financial affairs caused by SWIPe.
