While government and large businesses often have 30,60+ day payment cycles, at least your contact will respond to you. This sounds like a different situation.

We'd be ecstatic with 30-60 day schedules and I wouldn't consider "Your services are no longer welcome here" to be a desirable "response".

So they don't tell you when you are getting paid, and were you to enquire as to a date, or general timeline, they would drop you like a bad habit?
