Anyone having trouble getting paid by

Sunset Closings or LIA Signing Services? I have sent notices via email and they came back undeliverable...
Perhaps we should put these two on the DO NOT WORK FOR list...

You took an assignment from LIA? I am sorry =o(

Do a search for LIA....the results will not be pretty.

I did a search on both of them and LIA was slow paying...and I think Sunset was out of CA.
You may rest assured I will not do any more signings from these companies, nor will any of the notaries in my area when I get through passing the word around!

I was just paid the remaining balance on a loan I closed back in Oct. 07 for Lia Signing. Got paid $25 at first. I emailed Crystal; she responded within minutes & got me the rest in 10 days. True, they are slow payors.

LIA took a long time to pay and then shorted me $5

I was owed for two signings (the only ones I ever did for them) and they called to ask me to do another. I told them I hadn't even been paid for the other two I had done and they promised the check would be in the mail by the end of that week (they even gave me the check number). I told them I'd do the signing only if they agreed on a higher fee due to the high risk I would be taking. They wouldn't approve that so I didn't do the job; but they did send the check. I'm not gonna waste time and energy trying to collect the $5 they still owe -- just won't do any more work for them!

BROKE AND GOING TO PAY THE NOTARIES WHEN GOT MONEY

Doesn't this just frost you?
They have apparently misappropriated funds, as they were probably already paid for the closings you have done...and kept the money for themselves, only to keep working in arrears, paying this notary with funds from this client, etc. It seems this has been a standard SS practice, that worked when the volume was high...but caught up to them when volume decreased.

I finally got paid by Lia Signing after threatening to go to the title co that hired them. I guess I will have to do the same to Sunset Signing since they do not return the call or send email as promised.
