Leading Edge told me they are a lender

Got a call from Leading Edge today. Vaguely remembered them as an SS so I carefully asked if they were a SS or TC or lender. They said "lender."

Fine. I haven't worked for SSs in a long time.

I proceeded to take info on signing appt time, location, etc.

At the end, they told me the overnight docs fee would be $75. I said I don't leave my house for less than $100 for overnight docs. They replied that their usual fee is $50 but they would pay me $75.

I declined.

Then I searched this board.
Yep. Standard base fees are $50 and $75.

But I still have a hunch that they are an SS.

Was I lied to? Anybody know?

If lenders expect to pay $50 - $75, that is a very bad sign of the times.

TIA

Unless they suddenly purchased a financial institution or were purchased they were, are and always have been a Signing Service. Someone in CA can check with the State Banking Office to see if they became a lending institution.

I've worked for them for years, and they've always been a solid and reliable SS. Pay on time, and Laurosa and Barb are great to work with. There had to be a miscommunication.

I agree, I love all of them there! The paperwork is a snap. I would take all of their work. I wish there were more like them.

Great company to work for. I've never had a problem with them or with getting paid. As far as I know they are an SS.
