Our family went through quite a cash flow problem because Alicon did not honor its financial commitment and contract with my husband. Everyone was well satisfied with my husband's work; it was not about that. He warned them several times that there was every reason and evidence to believe the middleman might not pay Alicon but they did not act on that and then stiffed my husband $6000++ when in fact they did not get paid. They were full of excuses and finally, many months and a heart attack later, my husband hired a collections agency and received a couple thousand dollars on the debt. Be very careful about the money you are owed by Alicon; that last check may be a goner.
