Quicken Loans

Has anyone ever used the wrong color ink for Quicken Loans and had part of your fee withheld? I just got home from doing one and realized I had the wrong color ink. I've done so many of these before where they usually send the pen but this time they didn't. They overnighted the borrower their copies and had me print the signing copies.

Re: Why not call the borrowers back, PL in my experience

Quicken sends their bwrs' docs all bound up in a binder. It'd be easier to print a copy to sign.

Most of the world seems to accept black or blue ink. Blue's just easier to sort out. An old guy...ancient son of a gun...Benny or Bill...maybe "Bob" has a trick I have used.

You just place a small blue X on the signature line and that seems to solve the blue/black problem to the satisfaction of many. WAIT, before anyone else beats me with a wet noodle, I know in some circles placing that X on the signature line can be seen as "coercion." I have used this measure at least 100 times and had no problem. The blue X makes the document clearly an original. But, use at your own risk and please, burn this memo before anyone sees me promoting this type of blue X behavior.

You mean you don't carry blue pens in your brief case Pierce?

Re: Did that last week

Of course it was after hours so I had the borrower resign her copies
(thank goodness it was small and she was nice!) When I called on it
the next day they said it was really up to your county and what color
ink they prefer that it really made no difference to them. I was just nervous
that it would not fund. Does anyone know if that would cause it not to fund?

Only if it's a DiTech

They are the only ones I'm familiar with that say you MUST SIGN IN BLACK INK. And won't accept it if you sign in blue.

Re: Only if it's a DiTech

I have fun with the borrowers changing color of pens. I have asked what the point of this is and they can't give me a straight answer. Why does everyone else in this industry use all black or all blue. Why does Quicken have to have both? To confuse everyone is the only reasonable answer.

Has it changed since 3/17. Did one on that date and it was still both.
