I have been doing regular work for a major online publisher. Although they pay through Paypal, you need to fill out a W9. Without it, you will not be paid. I live in the Colorado hills, where we do not get mail delivery. Thus, everyone uses a PO Box.
When filling out a tax form, either with my PO Box, or my physical address, it is rejected. When contacting the publisher, I get this response:
"[FONT="]Our mail system currently does not accept PO Box addresses – we are working on changing that. We use the USPS to verify mailing addresses. Is there perhaps an address you can use of someone close to you, like a relative or friend?"
Everyone I know has the same circumstance, so a friend or relative would not be viable. Also, when I filled out my application, I listed my PO Box, so they already knew my address. Anyone have any idea of what sort of legal action I can take?
We are talking about a sum of close to $700.
