Non-Payment problem wth DCI

I am way overdue on a signing with DCi. Should I contact AG and SOS in my state or in Florida where DCI does business? Or in both?
TIA

Frenchies/TN How long is way over due. ? Month? two Months?

Many companies have a payout scheudle. Have you checked it.? how long ago was the signing date.? Did you call them?

Hi, Michael,
Signing was 4/27- Sent them a Fax on 6/12 requesting payment, talked to Alex ((scheduler I dealt with) on 6/19, he was going to get the person responsible for payment to call me but of course no one called, left a message on 6/22 on their answering machine and no response either. I think over 60 days is overdoing it.

Use the orange search button and do a search on DCI - they are notorious for not paying.

The owner of this company used to be the office manager for Mortgagenotary.com owned by the infamous Jamie Jessup, and she sure learned the business from him!!!!

Re: Non-Payment problem wth DCI - incidentally

Thank you very much Sylvia.
I had done an orange button search and several posts said that notaries were being paid so I took the signing.
At this time my main questionis whether I am supposed to contact the BBB, SOS, AG etc... in THEIR state or in MY state. I want to put that in a letter to them and I want to be sure of the correct steps. And then of course when I take those steps I want to be sure I contact the proper authorities.
Thanks agian

I would contact SOS and AG in their state for sure (contact SOS, Dept. of Corportaions, since Sylvia's info indicated that the owner is a corp) and also contact your own SOS. I always want to let my own SOS know when companies are doing business in my state, contacting state Notaries Public, and then defrauding them. Also contact the BBB and file a complaint for failure of company to fulfill its contract with you.

At 2 months, I call first

Generally I can manage to get someone in Bookkeeping or Accounting. Sometimes it's something as simple as that they need an invoice, and I overlooked that requirment in their paperwork. Then I fax or email the invoice with a cover letter.
If they're behind on payments, I try to get a firm date to expect payment. If no payment by that date, I call AND fax/email again. Then I just keep after them until the check arrives in the mail.
I've only been stiffed by 4 companies over the years.
The worst nightmare occurs when you do a closing, then go back out because there's an extra document they forgot to send you. Invariably the scheduler will not make out a new assignment confirmation with a new number for the second trip, and the order goes into accounting under the original number, and accounting of course doesn't see or pay for the second trip.... Straightening that out after a month or two months have passed from the date of the closing is a real headache.
