M DAVID SPEAR!!!!!

Hey everyone. I have heard some people complain about this person/company. I have had no problem with them. They paid me with in 30 days. I believe they got a better system of cutting checks. So if you are not doing business with them you might want to reconsider. Thanks

Miranda

I did a closing for them on April 14 and again on 5/15 and still have not been paid. Called to check on status, left message and no return call. Hope you are right.

what does it make you wonder. I am being serious. They told me they were getting all up to date because they were getting a bookeeper to do that work. I did a closing in middle of May and received check today.

What a coincidence?

It does appear that someone is trying really hard to get business back. Stop stiffing notaries and maybe you will find someone to do your closings. Both in virginia, HMMM?

I followed up with M. David Spear regarding a past-due invoice and was paid promptly. According to him, he went from a manual system to a computer one, and information was lost. He is paying people as they let him know that he hasn't.

Makes you wonder what kind of system (?)they have if they rely on you to tell them they owe you.

It took 4 faxes and emails to M David Spear and another email address to get my check. Did my appointment on 3/5 and finally got paid on 5/9/07

I actually talked to David. I have no problem with him. I guess we have our own opinions about him and our luck also. I thought he paid me great on time. I just wanted to let you all know since I have seen lots of bad comments regarding him. I know he told me he has a accountant doing the checks now and receiving checks and are paying on the 1st and 15th. So everything will be caught up. He also said he is not a book keeper and that people were mad at him for that but now it is different and I feel that way also. I have good luck with him so far.

I spoke with David personally today. He explained to me about his problem changing from a manuel bookkeeping system to computer and some gliches. He said he was cutting my check while talking to me and would mail this afternoon. Very polite and apologetic.

Just wanted to add that Mr. Spear kept his word. On Friday 6/15 he said he was putting my checks in the mail. I received them the very next day. Guess anyone can have a bookkeeping problem. Main thing is he took care of it promptly when I called.
