There Is Always Something New To Learn In The Lending Industry - 06:15 PM
There Is Always Something New To Learn In The Lending Industry.  It does not matter how long you have been a Loan Originator there is always something new to learn.  Yesterday was one of those times for me, and I was surprised by the answer.

What's Happening With Integrated Asset Services (IAS)? - 06:25 AM

I've worked with IAS for years.  They were always late in paying, so I didn't see anything wrong with waiting.
However, now, six months out, they owe me over $2,000. For a while, no one picked up the phone. Now, at least I got one person to talk to. He promised he would forward my concerns over non payment but he then didn't call me back.
Anyone having the same issues?? If so, what are you doing to resolve it?
