I am appealing to ActiveRain professionals to band together. I have performed closings for a couple of signing services who have taken several months to pay or not pay for my service at all. I have contacted the title/escrow company and have confirmed the signing service was paid.
The topic of non-payment is a popular discussion across many professional forums. Real Estate Agents, Loan Officers and Title/Escrow Officers can assist by implementing a zero tolerance policy. If you are contacted by the Notary or any other vendor regarding valid non-payment issues, refuse to continue doing business with the signing service. Include your zero tolerance policy in your contract with the signing service or vendor. This measure sounds drastic but the middle man should be held accountable.
I am also appealing to ActiveRain professionals to value the service of each other. Since I am a Notary, I would like to recommend that you refer to the priceless information Leon Austin, LaShon James-Major and Needanotary provides almost on a daily basis on ActiveRain regarding the notary profession.
