Some People Cannot Run A Business - Too Many In Fact
Posted by  Scriba/NM of NM on 7/12/18 3:28pm Msg #595819
From time to time a Notary "decides" they want to "become" a Signing Service. Unfortunately, they do not understand anything about running a business. They need to be capitalized - 99% are not. Secondly they have to have a business plan. I can almost guarantee 99% don't. This is why you get a hodge-podge of "rules" and "regulations" that they expect from their notaries, copied from other signing services. Yes, they "copy" instructions because that's easier than preparing their own.

There ARE good signing services out there - and you should only accept their signings. Inexperienced and sadly unqualified notaries accept anything from anyone for any fee. This is pathetic but is a fact. Go to Signing Central. Disregard the moronic one star comments and focus on the "real" comments, and the general tenor of comments in sum, and how old the comments are. It's like a mine field.

Lastly, SC is not the only record you can refer to. SC listings are peppered with some silly, useless comments that you have to disregard. There are other places to go also - Notary Beware for one. Sometimes one cannot look up a reference because of this "area" situation which I still can't make heads nor tales of. List EVERYONE - not just because someone thinks they don't belong in a certain "area." I get this all the time and when I enter a new customer, it comes back already listed (but invisible). Invisible? What does that prove? Invisible? That unhelpful invisible thing needs fixing.

Oh, and FAX is not obsolete. Businesses use FAX all the time. I have one company that prefers fax over emailed documents, because of security. Anyone that says FAX is obsolete certainly doesn't do much business in the real Signing Agent world.
