Unable to get paid
In January I was contacted by a signing company in California to perform a closing in Arizona. I was called at 5:00 p.m. to meet with borrowers at 7:00 p.m. with docs being e-mailed. By the time I reached my office (20 minutes), the closing had turned into two actual closings, all docs being e-mailed. A total of over 500 docs had to be run off, reviewed and signed. The closing which started at 7:30 took until 11:00 p.m. I was never given the opportunity to refuse the second closing, I guess it was just assumed since I was doing one I would do the other. It turned out to be a 80-20 closing. What should have been 75 pages to run off turned into, as I said, over 500 pages which left me scrambling for legal paper at 8:00 p.m.
I have now been trying since mid-February to get paid for this nightmare and have been unsuccessful. I am at a loss as to how to go about collecting the small payment they told me they would pay....and wondering if anyone else has had such a horrible experience.
I simply refuse to accept an assignment anymore if it comes via e-mail. Any suggestions? The signing company that contacted me is relatively new (corporation papers filed in California in November 2006) although they are listed on this Notary Rotary site with four stars.....
Help...

Have you called them? What do they say? I'd go directly to the Owner and if that didn't work, a call to the Title Co. involved. Title needs to know that the companies they hire aren't paying the notary. I realize this was a late night, hurry-hurry signing, but did you talk to them the following day? If this is a 4 star co--something is way wrong here.
