Re: Still an advertisement

So what? If a company has business and wants to give us the opportunity of working directly as opposed to a ss - what is the problem? Be thankful someone has work to offer us.

Sandra, I suggest that you review the terms of use but

in the meantime feel free to work for LSI, I'm sure that would be an excellent fit for them, By the way don't bother reading the rest of this thread you might not like what you see!

How is it that this site features a list of companies, rating and recomendations etc. and then doesn't want a company to put out their current need for notaries? As far as an excellent fit for them - don't know and don't care what you mean with that remark. Everyone including me has complained about LIA being no pay etc. That's the ss used by LSI and thank goodness they are evidently not using them any longer.

Sandra
One reason could be that there are notaries reading this forum that are not members, Harry has a database of members so SS and TC's can locate a notary from the membership here.

How would it be if all the companies just decided to post a message in this forum whenever they need a notary instead of using the tools that Harry provides.
Can you just not see pages of messages just from SS and TC's just wanting notaries instead of pages of posts from members with their questions or concerns etc?

Sylvia - For the record - I am not registed with LIS, have not previously worked directly for them and only know what Not/Rots rating states. That being said - I fully understand what you're saying, and I fully agree that Harry and Not/Rot should be entitled to renumeration for all the time and effort put in to launch this site, maintain it etc. But there has to be a way that a company, ceasing to use a ss, should be able to recruit as needed other than what is currently being used. Evidently that method is not meeting everyones' needs. The main thing I have heard from TC and Settlement Co. is that they just don't have the time and resources to go out and hire good NSA's, one at a time, so they use ss. I've argued that point with several TC. Perhaps Harry could have a site, attached to this one, where companies can be listed, charged for a different type of membership, and their listings be available to only Premier Members. Basic and non-members would not be entitled to see or use that list. I guess what get my goat is hearing all the complaints about lack of business, poor or non payment by ss, and in general moaning and groaning to the point that we attack companies that actually have work available. The negative attacks on this board far out weighs any positives - in all areas. The snide inuendos and totally unprofessional language used here are truly uncalled for from our profession. JMHO

Thanks Sandy. You are right on the money. I have been all over the place looking to find agents to fill the void left behind by SSs and going through the yellow pages just will not fit into our current business model. I come on her often to check on status of the industry and often see how people complain about SSs. Just wanted to offer a quicker path around them.

Re: Why don't you send out spam broadcast e-mails?

It's easier enough for every other company and individual to find e-mail addresses -- why can't you? And as for looking in the yellow pages, I doubt you will find very few SAs; however, earlier today there was a posting about some SAs advertising on ebay.

research himself and build LSI's own database, because, as has already been posted, SAs who once worked with them, are choosing not to do so now-- thus, he's advertising by trolling and saying "I'm here - contact me."

Re: Well, first off Sandra - he's too lazy to do the

To help clarify LSI has recently ended our relationship with some of the SC that are either going out of business or have recently not been paying their agents (despite LSI making full payment to them). To counteract this we are notching up our recruiting efforts so that we can eliminate the need for these companies. I think that anybody that has done work with LSI recently or has done work with LSI over time will confirm that we are excellent with our payment to NSAs in our network (Linda Spanski excluded which was a transactional issue that she is well aware of and was paid for the service she did provide). Our current recruiting materials were 5 years old and needed to be refreshed as much of our information has changed over that time.

Yes, Brian, each no-sign is a "transactional issue"

There was also the bwr who said the terms of her loan were not what she was told by her LO and the folks who were no-shows for a confirmed appointment who told me they were sure someone would've let me know they cancelled prior to my arrival.

In each case I took the hit. LSI once had one of the largest database of notaries of any SS but now you claim you're looking in the Yellow Pages for someone? What happened? Please explain.

I've had background checks performed by the IRS and FBI and my bonding company. I would prefer not to go through anymore, especially if I am not applying for employment.

I worked with you for years, Brian

... and will share my experience with everyone here.

For the past 5 years or so I was happy to take all the work I could get from LSI in PA. Your clients were major lenders and the assignments were straightforward with few glitches. Your fees were fair for a signing service and paid within 30 days. Then things changed.

For years LSI paid its notaries their full, contracted fee even if the loan didn't sign or didn't fund. In June, without notice or change to my contract, I found my fees cut for no-signs. Do you recall the signing where you personally sent me to a borrower who didn't speak English? I told you after my contact call that the family was Spanish-speaking but you assured me that the borrower spoke English. I suggested you send a Spanish-speaker just to be sure and you said it was too late to find one. You paid me a half fee because I failed to obtain a signature.

Perhaps the reason you are now forced to post here looking for notaries is because those of us who worked for you for years cannot accept half fees.
