150 page loan docs all fax back, offered to do it for

$25 additional for the fax backs - that was too much and they went elsewhere. Do you think it was too much?

More than reasonable.

Not that it matters, but if they didn't want to pay an extra $25 for you to fax back the docs, what in the world were they paying for the assignment?

Make copies and scan and email for .10

I make copies of the pages that need to be faxed back so I don't need to make a special trip and pay .10 vs. $1..... And I charge $25 for up to 30 pages.

Doesn't matter what theyre paying for faxbacks or the package itself,....

I wouldn't accept the assignment in the first place knowing about the 100% faxbacks.

They don't need all the stuff faxed back to fund the thing and by doing so, it just allows it

to keep happening.

Good gosh...what's next?

A 200 page pkg and fax back double the amount or 400 pages?

Sure it's a dumb example and so is faxing back all 150 pages.

It adds insult to injury because except for rare instances there doesn't need to be 150 pages

in any package to begin with.

This whole thing has just gotten out of hand.

One can argue you can scan 'em back all slick and easy.

My response is that I stand pat on what I said above.

It isn't a matter of thinking outside the box....some of these outfits can't THINK, PERIOD...

Depends on your FAX equipment

My fax equipment is a magic wand plus laptop and software. It's fine for a few pages and great for use from the field, but would be unwieldy for 150 pages. I would have charged $40. Make sure each client is paying a fair share of any equipment or subscriptions you have only for performing faxes.

It's not that it's too much...it's that they are too cheap. n/m

I would've turned them down flat. Don't really care what the fee would have been.

I agree that fax-backs are a pain and the packages have gotten really out of control.

When I do any faxbacks at all I charge an extra $25 and the fax doesn't happen till I'm home that evening, so docs get dropped the following day - the only exception is when I'm doing a signing in a Realtors' office and the faxbacks are few and required for funding...

I dont think the $25.00 was too much..The company wants someone to do it for free. Sadly they most likely found somone..thats why this keeps happening!
