Beware fellow notaries. I took a signing for A & L on 11-29-06 for an agreed fee of $125.00 with e-docs. I spent a total of 1 1/2 hours at the signing, only to have the loan officer finally tell me it was not the loan the borrower wanted. I called A & L immediately from the front of the Borrower's home and explained to Kami. We agreed upon a fee of $100.00 for the no sign, print fee and time and travel. I waited and waited and finally got a check around 1-19-07 for $25.00.
I did not agree to a reduced fee, I have not signed a contract with her and the confirmation has nothing about a reduced fee. I have snail mailed, called, emailed, faxed, filed with the BBB and am using www.olddebts.com. Please see post below on BBB filing.

Complaint Classification: Contract issues
Complaint Description - Posted 2-12-2007
I was contracted on 11-29-06 to do a signing for A & L Nationwide Signing Service to do a loan signing in San Jose, CA. I am a Certified Notary Signing Agent. The confirmation was for $125.00 with e-docs to be downloaded and printed, go to appointment and get loan docs signed and notarized. Due to no fault of my own the loan did not proceed after 1 1/2 hours due to it not being the loan the borrower wanted. I was paid $25.00. I did not sign a contract with A & L Nationwide Signing Service and did not agree to reduced fee for my services. As an Independent Contractor and a Notary Public, I cannot have a financial interest in the outcome of the loan. I am by law an Impartial Witness to this transaction.

I expect payment in full for the agreed amount of $125.00. This is what my confirmation says and does not say anything about reduced fees, which I would not have agreed to.

To whom it may concern:
In regards to the loan signing that was done by Joe Smoe (name changed), this loan did not close. I explained to Joe Smoe in a phone conversation that I would compensate her 25.00 for travel and printing fee. I did that. I was not paid for setting up this signing and did not commit to her or anyone else that payment would be received in the event of not closing. I know there are companies that pay regardless, this was not one of them. I would highly recommend that in the future, that she would clarify that policy before taking on a signing.
Sincerely,
Owner (Changed Name)
I would never agree to a reduced fee of $25.00 for edoc printing, travel, time. Next step, Small Claims Court. I took this signing in good faith, as an Independent Contractor and expect to be paid in good faith.
What say ye???? Sorry about long, long post.
