I'm assuming you leased with Miller Land, and you are asking where your bonus check is?

If so, yes, 3 months is a long time unless there was some unexpected title issue, but they would have probably contacted you about that.  I have not heard of Miller Land slow paying, so maybe there is more to the issue.

If you are asking about royalty check(s), that would depend (among other things) on whether you are in a productive unit (or productive lease), when it was turned to sales, etc...

Thanks for replying. Yes it's lease money. They have not contacted me with any issues. Should I contact them?

Sure, especially if they are holding a signed lease by you and there has been no payment in 3 mos.

I agree with HBP. They should have given you some form of payment or payment obligation before they got your signed lease. 3 months is longer than a reasonable time for paying you.

Thanks guys. There was a small issue that was resolved over the phone. And I received the check in 2 days.

Good to see that they've straightened that out. They've got too much dirt left to lease to be getting a bad rap on GHS.  LOL!

Once again, the power of politely asking for what you want prevails! Great news.
