Query

Has anyone ever heard of Select Signing Services, a group that claims it "has the largest notary database in existence"?

Do you have a link for that one? It sounds familiar.

The address is notarywork.com. I find it passing strange that a signing service that bills itself as having the largest notary database in the country has such a low profile among notaries. About the only explanation I can figure for that is that they must be -- gasp! -- being untruthful.

I'm sorry. I obviously have done Select Signing Services a disservice. They have not wrongfully billed themselves as having the largest notary database in the country. They say they have the largest notary database "in existence."

My Daddy, bless his sainted hustling heart, always told me that if I was going to lie, make it about quality, not quantity. Quality is amorphous and often in the eye of the beholder. Numbers, on the other hand, have a distressing tendency toward embarrassing exactitude.

Select Signing Services is not affiliated with NotaryWork.com. They are different companies.

I belong to Notary Work but will not be renewing. I have yet to receive one call the year I have been a member. I know....I was new when I paid a signing service to work and didn't know better.

The message board is ok, but quite frequently, the system is down & I can't access - like today.

I used to belong to notarywork.com, but didn't renew. It wasn't worth it! Not one single call as a result of my listing! And the message board isn't really that great! I did notice when I was a member that the only negative posts about a signing company that were removed, were posts about their own signing company! Any other negative posts about other signing companies were left on the board!

I remember when they removed those posts, I also remember that they replaced the posts a couple of days later. The explanation was that NotaryWork.com is a separate company of Select Signings and not administered by the owners. The employees removed the posts and and the owners directed them to put the posts back up. I personally have gotten work from only two sites, NotaryWork and NotaryRotary.

Yep. Pay in 60+ days.

H*** with them!

Re: Yep. 30 days for me

I did one and was paid inside 30 days. I haven't done anymore because I don't want to do their faxbacks. My pay was above average, at that time which was in 2002.

Occasionally, I'll get an assignment from a signing company that I haven't worked for before. There aren't that many nowadays, since like everybody else I try to hustle the title companies. Anyway, when they send the assignment and it requires me to fax back the executed HUD, the first and last pages of the mortgage, the TIL, and a bunch of other trash, I just call the SS back and tell them I'm sorry, I won't accept the assignment because I don't fax junk back, that I'm a professional and they need to rely upon that professionalism to get the job done. About 20 percent of the time they tell me "Thanks, but the title company requires that." The rest of the time they say forget about the faxing, just close the loan for us.

If you don't mind me asking, Mike, how many signings have you done?
