Why should the notary take the hit for a mistake that someone else made?
Several years ago I was at a breakfast meeting and heard a very entertaining speaker refer to this type of thing as "taking the monkey". What he meant was that someone has a problem (a "monkey on his back"), and he wants to take it off and give it to you.
Nope, ain't gonna happen, it's not my monkey...
I understand that the lender or TC is only willing to pay YOU half-fee for a re-sign, but that's YOUR monkey. As a notary, it will never be my monkey.
It's very nice that you "give the entire amount to the NSA because we already made our fee on the file", but does it even occur to you that the notary, by going out a second time at a reduced fee, is losing money? You're sitting in an office making a few phone calls; the notary has to do the entire signing all over again just because someone on the mother ship screwed up, and you're OK with not paying them full fee for doing that?
Unless the notary did something wrong that created the need for another complete signing, they are entitled to a full fee for a re-sign. Period. There is no argument you can ever make that would prove otherwise. Whether that comes out of your pocket or the lender's pocket is not the notary's concern. Consider it a cost of doing business. It's your monkey - own it.
