Perhaps, to begin with, some sort of black-listing of agencies who don't pay us properly can be done to deal with this problem. For e.g. Geetha can tell us about translation and I can tell either from my personal experience or cross-checking through my sources if a particular agency is prompt in payment or not, this would serve the rest of the VI community.
