I don't expect much for December PP might even be zero for them to recoup their overpayment in October...

This occurred to me too. It would make sense to take the overpayments out of the PP since that's where they came from. I expect they will still have to report the sales and send the e-mails about how much is being recovered though, even if the money doesn't wind up in our accounts.

Note I 'grounded' the info and didn't 'own' it, so don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't come to pass.

I am afraid this is close to accurate for many of us.

I wish they take their money back already so I can move on. Going to be a bummer if we get December PP before they take the money back.

are you kidding? If I shot the messenger I'd have to go on iStock forms myself. I'd much rather have you break it down for me here.

Lobo, FWIW.

So I really don't understand what Lobo is hinting at here:

http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=358476&messageid=6984128

"We are doing our best to limit the impact and reduce the reach of the recoupment. " Limit the impact would be taking a little bit out at a time rather than in one lump sum? Reduce the reach would be not going back more than a certain period (where that would hint that the problems had been going on longer than just a month)?

At this point my exposure for really long ago clawback is limited given how few files I have left there - there's only so much you can earn on 109 files

- but can this really be so big?

Noedelhap · « **Reply #288 on:** February 12, 2014, 15:06 »

I wish I could protect my account money from them. There should be a rule: if money earned is not clawed back after a month, it's yours, no matter what.

Yup. I just cashed out but left some in to pay for the clawback.

I was hoping no news was good news. Apparently not. I am dreading this. Also, doing my taxes soon I am not sure whether to include that money in my 2013 income and then deduct it from 2014, or to guesstimate how much it will be and claim that much less from 2013.

They don't make anything easy over at IS

I don't even know how much I was overpaid. Did I miss it when this was announced? I don't check their forums much.

That was 5 weeks ago. I don't think I got an e-mail. I guess I'll have to go back and look for it.

They haven't been sent out yet, AFAICS.

gillian vann · « **Reply #297 on:** February 12, 2014, 22:45 »

how clever to imply it's gone on longer but they'll "only" take back October's overpayment. Don't be fooled into thinking that's a win.

pancaketom · « **Reply #298 on:** February 13, 2014, 00:56 »

I am sure that they consider any payment to us to be an overpayment, especially one that exceeds the 15-20% in their "new and improved" contract.

Don't waste your time. They haven't sent any email whatsoever. They love to keep their contributors guessing.

Not surprisingly, Lobo confirmed that there have been no underpayments, only overpayments. Of course. How convenient for them.
