Greg Harrison should tell the whole story!!!!

My company was late payiing Greg Harrison. For that that I have appogized. I am in no way associated with DAC. Many notaries were late getting paid from my company. I have worked hard to catch up in a slow January and February. I am accountable as I am however responding to this bulletin board. Even in the face of multiple apologies I still see the smear campaign. "AFTER I HAD SENT PAYMENT to Greg Harrison" He wrote me an email threatning me with his job which I thought was very unprofessional. GREG HARRISON HAS NOT BEEN HONEST with this board and has not printed all the emails or phone conversations we have had. For those noatries that have received or are receiving payments late, I am truly sorry!
Sincerely!
M. David Spear

If your company was having a cash flow problem perhaps it would have been better to contact the parties you couldn't pay on time and explain and tell them when you anticipated being able to pay? Might have saved a lot of problems.

I agree with skrittof......

You should have contacted the parties to let them know you were going to breach your contract (whether implied or written). You'd piss me off too if you told me you were going to pay me on the 1st then I don't get paid till two months later.

My intention is not to say that you are running a bad business and every notary should ignore your calls. I have no idea how you operate your business.

Well at least the man will post here in a public forum the truth....be it half the truth...but at least he has admitted he has not paid MANY notaires on time. I know for a fact of several other notaries in VA that he has yet to pay! I would hope he is sending out checks this week! If anyone would like to read the emails we exchanged....feel free to email me and I will forward them to you....as I kept them. It would not do for anyone to hear the actual voice calls...since all that happended was I was cordial on the phone in asking for my money....and he lied to me...giving me false DHL tracking numbers and other various stories trying to explain why I had not received the fake DHL package. He told me so many different stories he could not keep them straight. Just as a FYI...the money did arrive via FEDEX at a much later date. Anyway....I hope this is warning to other notaries.....do not accept any work from Mr. Spear.....unless you like working for free.

Geez, I hope this doesn't catch on...if every SS/TC/LO that is behind in payments comes in here to defend themselves it'll take days to get through it all!

Memo To M. David Spear - I also am one notaries that you have not paid. I am owed fees for signings that I did back in mid Dec. of 06.

I spoke with you 2 weeks ago in ref to this and you told me that within 5 days, all outstanding fees due me would be paid. I spoke with you again on Mar. 13th. after having not receive your check. Again, I got the same story about your clients having not paid you, etc. etc. That's not my problem.....my contract is with you.

I have given you until Mon., Mar. 19th to pay the outstanding invoices........after that, if I am not paid, I intend to do the following:

1. File a small claims case in my county - only cost $12.50
2. Notify the Notary Commission here in VA
3. File a compaint with our attorney general
4. Contact the title companies for which the signings were performed
5. Contact HUD

I may end up losing my fees but you stand to lose much more.
