Seems that the agreement between this notary you hired and the notary that completed the loan signing must be worked out between those two.
Going forward, to keep a notary or Signing Service on their toes, your contract should include requiring PROOF that the notary signing agent who completes the loan signing is paid - within 5 days after YOU have paid them. If proof is not provided, your agreement with them is null and void. Also, your contract with the notary or Signing Service should be null and void if you receive ONE call from a notary who wasn't paid.
Another option would be to pay the notary, Signing Service and the notary signing agent separately after the loan funds and closes. |
