Non payment

I have been working with ESS network for 2 years now. I didn't have problem with payment issue until this year. They will don't pay their notaries, either due to loan don't close or flat out do not pay even though they have gotten paid by the Title or lenders. Trying to get them to pay is a real hassle. I just want all the notary signing agent to beware.

Why don't you contact the Attorney Genral of your state and the Secretary of stae's office, noy only file a complaint, but also, file a claim against their bond with their bonding company.

Hello,

If you completed a signing where Integrity Escrow was the Escrow company then Escrow Signings Services Inc. (ESS Network) is the company that hired you. In this case, Integrity Escrow had an agreement with ESS Network to coordinate their notary signings. ESS Network was assigned this file. They contacted you to complete the signing, and were paid for doing so. With this payment, they are responsible for paying the notary. ESS Network is now playing games with you as a method of not paying you, and then trying to confuse you on who is actually responsible.

Fairfax Signings is the company that Integrity Escrow has contracted to replace ESS Network due to ESS Network's failure to pay their notaries amongst other things. Fairfax signing has absolutely NO bearing for payment not received from ESS Network.

But, in an effort to prove that Fairfax signing is not the company at fault, if you email your name, buyers name, escrow number (starts with 247 or 248) and the request sheet sent to you by ESS Network. I will send you a copy of the check that was sent to ESS Network for that particular signing which they are responsible for paying the notary with.

You can find contact information for ESS on the “contact us” section of their website. As you will see they are out of business and actually in the process of trying to sell their website.

Fairfax Signing has been handling all of Integrity Escrow's notary coordination since their termination of ESS Network. We pride ourselves on paying our notaries right away whether the signing is completed or canceled. Fairfax would still like to hire you for signings. Please at least look into this and take of all of this information into consideration before casting out Fairfax Signing as one of the many "bad signing services out there"

I am also trying to get all of the information someone might need if the decision to take this to small claims court is made.

Thank you,

Matthew
