Deeds Office question
I read somewhere that if you have not been paid from a signing service you can contact the deeds office and inform them the notarization on the DOT is no good because the contract between parties that hired you did not fulfill their end of the deal (payment). What legalities can this impose? Seems like there can be a real good way to get these companies to pay or scare them with a legal dispute or something...any suggestions?

You can't unrecord a document. (And, frankly, I think the Reg. of Deeds office would laugh at your request.) Your best bet is to call the Title Co. & let them know the SS they hired isn't paying their notary. That SS doesn't want to lose the TCs business & ought to pony up.

this is one of the reasons these boards are dangerous. People post ridiculous statements such as this one and then others believe it. To have something 'unrecorded' would take a court order signed by a judge, and that means a law suit. Are you prepared to file suit against the lender, borrower, title company and signing service? Use common sense when reading these boards and then do your own homework in your own jurisdiction.

someone gave you highly incorrect information, and I would have been amused if you came to my recording window with that request when i worked there.

If only our certification could be made conditional ...
... upon payment in full for the services rendered in connection therewith, how much easier our lives would be as debt-collecting SAs. But what havoc that would wreak on the rest of the world. The fact is that our certifications are not conditional. Once they're done, they're done, and can be relied on. (Yes, they would be subject to scrutiny, such as for fraud, but that's a whole different thing.)
Hey, I'll give you credit for thinking outside the box (and for not posting a how-do-I-get started-in-this-business query). But I have to agree with what sue_pa says about our being careful when reading the boards to not take as gospel what we read and to determine for ourselves, in or own research or in consultation with an authority, such as the SOS or an attorney, what law is applicable to us in our own state and to be sure we have applied the proper interpretation to same.
There's lots of good information in this forum about all aspects of the SA business, including collections. If you haven't already done so, I urge you to go to message #33325 and read all the postings and offshoot postings there. Then go to the archive here http://www.notaryrotary.com/archive/forum/Notary_Forum_Archive.html and start reading. (I'd read the most recent first, 2007, then go backward from there.)
Good luck!

Once you've notarized the document with your sig and stamp, that's it. The document will pass muster with the recorder along with all the others they get. The recorder won't care whether you got paid.
