AP Medical / Toth Transcription - Transcribing it

Posted: Jan 09, 2013

I worked for this couple for over a month. He has decided not to pay using the excuse that he pays after 2 months, but that is after all his fees. This guy is a total joke. After he said he would not pay me for all the work I have done, I stopped producing. He says I owe him for 2 weeks worth of work. He is now threatening me that he will come across state lines and make me pay him for work lost and legal fees. Is he really that ignorant? He is actually funny when he tries to scare me in an email. He needs to check into his employees a little bit better, and check who he tries to intimidate. I can say that I would gladly welcome him across state lines. I am stunned at how angry he got, and the threats that came fast and furious. How stupid! Please avoid this idiot.

Yikes. I just googled them and found - them mentioned on

ripoffreport.com. I'm sorry you were screwed by this guy. Thanks for the heads-up.

There is a permanent post about them at the top - me

A long history of this behavior and not paying his employees. I can't even believe he is in business still.

I read all of the posts. At least mine was only a month - Transcribing it

This guy is a character. He continues to use key words - stupid, ignorant, clueless. He has some self-reflection issues, I can tell! lol

Also, read above on this board, third entry down regarding Toth.

Contact US Attorney, this is theft of services among other things - Not a lawyer but not an idiot

Print out your e-mails, get print out posts from other people who have had similar experiences and take it to your nearest US Attorney's office. This is fraud, racketeering and who knows what other statutes broken and across state lines. They will put this guy behind bars for a good long time, where he belongs, I suspect. And go after the principal for your money, they can be made to pay you for services rendered. Don't worry, they have deep pockets adn they too will go after this guy.

Look on the first page - Ugh

There is a warning about Toth on this site. I worked for him in 2004 and of course they wanted to sell me their foot pedal..... I didn't buy it so they refused to pay me, saying they didn't think mine was what they required. What? lol I've never been paid for my work.

Toth/AP Med still at it - Linda

They are still at it. Everything I read here, unfortunately I read after completing 3 weeks of weekend assignments for them in June/July 2013. Now that I told them I would no longer accept assignments, I am getting the verbal/email abuse about owing them $150 for not giving them a two-week notice. Mind you, I have not gotten any pay for any of the completed assignments, and they refused to provide payment information to me. Once I read all of these complaints, I knew I had to get out ASAP. I am glad that I did not continue doing their work for them only to eventually NOT get paid. Now of course he begins to threaten to sue me. I am just going to have to ignore all future emails. Sigh. I guess the silver lining is that I got several weeks of 'practice' as a newbie. Hopefully that giant sucker in the middle of my forehead is not evident to everyone around me.

Toth is just plain MEAN - Typist

Wow. He really is just a mean guy. I tried working for them for a few weeks. At first I thought he was giving me 'tough love' and pushing me to learn this new career, but I realized that he was really bullying me and he never answered any of my questions about payment. When I started getting suspicious, I found these threads and warnings and told them I would not be doing any more work for them. He responded by telling me that I owed him two weeks of work and if I did not commit to doing that, I would owe him $150 (payable to a PO Box) and that he would sue me and I would be responsible for "breach of contract in our jurisdiction, the setup fee, our attorney fees as well as your own, 2 weeks worth of work you were to normally do would be due, as well as any other costs associated with your not complying with your contract per your agreement". I just cannot reply to him anymore. I know he really does not have a leg to stand on since I completed several assignment without pay. Anything I "owe" him, he can take out of what he owes me. Wow. There really are just plain mean people out there. As soon as I said I wanted out, he turned from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde. Sad.

Wow I really wish I had known about this board a year ago! Yes the big conartist is still at and has just conned me out of a whole lot of money. And now I techniquely have one year of experience, sure he will give me a horrible reference since he is quite simply a bad man, and still cannot find a job. After reading all the other complaints about this man I simply do not understand how they are still in business. I made multiple phone calls today trying to figure out who to tur ...

Anybody who in interested in filing a class action lawsuit against Toth Transcription/AP Medical/AP MedWorkshops please contact.

I was wondering if the lawsuit against this jerk ever produced any results? I worked for them in 2005 and quit 4 months after I started because I'd been working 60 days straight without being paid. I told him I wouldn't type another line until I was paid and received several verbally abusive messages, full of expletives, but never received my wages. They still owe me almost $2000. ...

Has anybody left medical transcription at home to become a medical scribe? I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before.

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here. While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...

I answered an ad for U.S. Transcription posted on MT Jobs, was asked to test, and within an hour of submitting my test I was offered a job. After my heart came down from a happy dance at an actual job offer, I found I really have some things to think about before I say yes. This would be for 2nd shift, non-medical transcription at 0.06/cpl for straight transcription, 0.03/cpl if a company provided template is used. I suppose I need to ask what my expected production would be before ...

I'm fairly new to medical transcription. I received my certification in 2010 and was a little discouraged when applying for jobs and they were all looking for experienced agents to work from home. I've recently decided to start back looking for work and decided to offer my services free of charge just to get the experience so I can apply in a year or two for actual paying work. Has anyone else done this or know how to get started? Or even know someone who needs a transcription intern? ...

Anyone ever do non-medical transcription? I'm interested to know if you liked it. I tried it for a few days and just decided it wasn't for me. A lot of it was phone conversations and was very hard to understand and I ended up leaving lots of blanks. The pay was bad too and I gave it up today. It was like torture to me to sit and listen to this voice file and one was almost 2 hours long that I did not finish before I quit. Appreciate anyone's input into this. I am feeling ba ...

I'm a 2011 MT grad who posted not long ago looking for advice.

This site had instructions and a download to take the test. What the heck, I'm going to take it and see what happens. Since MT is practically a dead-end career, I've been trying to come up with ther ways to utilize my ...

I quit a job a dozen years ago to jump into the "Work At Home" dream. I had little money, was quite naive, worked from dark to dark with absolutely no help from the small MTSO, who later ripped me off $5,000. BUT, I learned. After my first experience with "running out of work", I just found more work. I got unusually lucky and found a job and was MTing again in a few days. That gig gave me nearly 10 years of working for another small MTSO. I got busy and made tons of mon ...
