Follow-up about the "backdate" issue....

so today this guy calls me back, the same who ask me to backdate on Friday, and tells me that everything is worked out with the lender and that the signing is now scheduled for tomorrow, same place, same time, same agreed fee, no backdating. I also found that that it's a reputable company. My question is should I do it or should I pass on it?

If it's a good company do it.. I hate to say a very large percentage of companies will ask if you can do things you should not and once you say no, they drop the subject and move on.

Once they know you're on the up and up and won't push.

Anne,

I guess it is up to you and your state law when it comes to back dating and being a notary. I have a system when I go to a person's house and I hand them a letter introducing me as an independant notary, they each sign with the proper date of which i was there. I always notarize the date they signed it. I personally have and will always turn that kind of business down.

AngiesMobile....

That's a great idea about the letter and having them sign. Any chance you'd be willing to share the contents of your letter to give me an idea of how I may want to word my letter.
If you don't mind sharing, my email address is [e-mail address].

TIA

Customer Letter

I use one as well. Nice to have something you control with the customers signature on it. If signing companies don't seem to have a record of that signing in their log, you can always fax them the letter showing the customers signature and the date and your name or your companies names. Usually, helps resolve pay disputes quickly.
