As much as it goes against my grain (actually one of my St Louis cardinal rules) to respond to anyone (anonymous #1 or #2!) who won't identify themselves on a public message board, I'll forge ahead under the impression you're uninformed on certain issues in this industry & require some educating. After three plus years in the signing industry along with my 20 year history of self-employment in the insurance industry, it's my concerted opinion if there's anyone out there who believes they're making an honest living by accepting $50.00 for a re-finance loan signing & driving up to 20 miles one way from their office...they're only deluding themselves. That's "constructive" criticism in my book because it's the honest truth as I see it & know it. Furthermore one of the reasons I absolutely despise & avoid $50.00 signing companies came home to roost with me during this "thread" a couple of weeks ago. While doing my best to educate those who may not be aware of what $50.00 companies are actually doing to them, I was interrupted by a phone call from an individual who claimed they represented on these so-called companies & threatened me with "a letter from their attorney" if I didn't cease & desist my criticisms. There's a lot of things I'll tolerate in this world, but threats like this isn't one of them. I'll do my level best to keep this issue alive simply because of the threat if nothing else. That one phone call showed me the level to which some companies will stoop for the almighty dollar.
Now before you go off agreeing with the $50.00 signing company rep that I should be silenced...you'd better remember that what goes around, comes around. If I'm taken off this board for spelling out my opinion in a strong fashion, who knows where that'll stop? You could very well be next. The business world isn't all peaches & cream. I don't call people names & I don't use foul language. Just because my opinions differ from yours is no reason to scream "foul". If you express your beliefs in an articulate manner & without hiding behind a false facade, you'll receive a much better reception from me. |
