Very Slow Pay & NO PAY!

My 3 person company has done work for Jarrod and Rudy for approx. 2 years. Knew off the bat that they were slow pay - 60 to 90 days. Never was paid in 30 days. But in the last year they also started ignoring an invoice for $35 for a 2nd trip out caused by the lender. Took 1 year to get paid for that (just cleared it from the books about a week ago). Also in February, 2006, had 2 signings that canceled after the signing took place. They shorted us on each of those signings and finally (same week as other payment) received a little more dollars towards the agreeded upon fee.

Keep bugging them. We won't do any more work for them again. Slow pay is one thing (can't stand it, but will admit that we knew it in advance) but taking almost a year to pay for work done is not flying. I sent invoices regularly by mail, fax, and e-mail. I also told them that IF they did not pay me the agreed to amounts that I would let other notaries know about it. They still owe me approx. $25 total (closed out the accounts just because it isn't worth my time any longer), but I will keep sharing our story, so the next time they have a signing to fill it may take them a little more work.

If First Choice Signing Services - Jarrod or Rudy deny any of this I can back it up. And I hold true to my word. When my husband was recalled to the 1st Persian Gulf War, Mervyn's treated us horrible in regards to an account with them (by federal law they must lower interest rates for the men and women recalled to active duty for a war). As of this day, I nor my family will not walk into one. They lost our business and I'm still glad to let everyone know. That's been 16 years and still counting!

I've worked for them and have always been paid, they are very slow though 30-60 days average.
Now my question is - Why would you let any company get into you for that much money??? If you average $75.00 per signing that is 20 signings. Were they all in one month?

This company not only pays very slow, but Jerrod doesn't treat collection callers with respect...it took 3 months to get paid, there is too much partying going on in his office. I won't work for him again

REGARDING FIRST CHOICE THEY PAY ME $ 100.00 TO $ 150.00 PER SIGNING. NOT $ 75.00. THEY OWE ME FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS OF SIGNINGS. IN THE PAST I WOULD GET MY CHECKS EVERY 60-90 DYAS. I HAVE WORKED FOR THEM SINCE DEC. OF 2005. I HAVE HAD TO CALL JARROD OR RUDY SEVERAL TIMES AND ASK THEM FOR MY MONEY. I FINALLY GOT A CHECK FOR $ 300.00. I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING LOANS FROM THAT COMPANY AND WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION IF I DO NOT RECIEVE THE REMAINDER OF MY MONEY WITHIN 10 DAYS.

Christina, I've noticed something about some companys. In the past I did signings for several different companys that had one thing in common. For instance, I did a signing for a company that used me twice in one week. When they sent me a check, after 30 days, it was only for one signing. I tried to collect on the other signing, to no avail. What they were doing, in essence, was getting 2 signings for the price of one. In other words, if they owed you $200.00 for 2 signings, they were getting both for $100.00. That equates to $50.00 a signing. Pretty slick, wouldn't you say? Several companys did this to me.

Re: No problem in Sac

I'm in Sacramento and I've done work for Jarrod and Rudy and I've never had a problem being paid. They haven't called too much lately, but when they do, I am usually paid within 30 days.
