Eventful Signing Experience -- revisited

>>>Re: Eventful Signing Experience, Posted by PJM/MI on 11/18/05 6:36am, "Ding Dong" goes the doorbell in the middle of the signing. BO answers door, hustles the ding-donger upstairs for about 5 minutes. Ding-donger leaves. About 3 minutes later, "ding dong" again.<<<

I had a signing start out like this, only it was not in a nice neighborhood. The house was a dump and the borrower looked like damn-it-to-hell. When I first arrived I thought his red nose and sniffles were from a cold.

I went through three cycles of the doorbell ringing and him interrupting the signing to go with the scummy people that showed up at the door.

After the third time, I packed up my stuff and the docs. I went through the house until I found him and his scummy friends doing lines and smoking weed in a bedroom.

I told him that I was going to Friendly's on Route such-and-such, and that he had ten minutes, from the time I arrived there, to make an appearance, or his loan was not going to be signed.

I did not wait for an answer, I turned on my heel and went straight to my car.

While in route to Friendly's, I called the TC, stated that my fee had just doubled, and that their borrower is a drug dealer and user.

TC stated that my updated confirmation would be waiting for me when I returned home.

Arrived at Friendly's and as the hostess was seating me, the borrower came running in the door like the devil himself was on his heels.

The borrower told me that I was no joke. And then commenced to apologize profusely through the rest of the signing.

There are a lot of things I will put up with, but I WILL NOT put myself in danger by sitting in a drug house.

I would not have arranged to meet him at Friendly's or anywhere.
I would have got the heck out of there and called the police.
If he was doing coke or whatever then he was under the influence of drugs when he signed the docs.
As an appointed public official I would have called the police - drug enforcement.

While I probably wouldn't call the police, I'm with Sylvia in that this guy wouldn't have gotten a loan that day. He'd have come back to an empty dining room w/no prior explaination from me.
