Pacific Document Services

I called Pacific Document about when they will be sending out the money they owed me for over 2 months. She seemed plesent at first untill I had asked to make sure the check was good. Then she got rude and said everyone lies here on Notary Rotary.

Pacific Documents

I got called by these folks a few weeks ago. I had read some stuff on Not Rot and told the woman calling that I needed to look them up since I think that they had some bad comments. She said "that is not very nice and never mind" Saved me from doing a job for free.

Re: Pacific Documents

I received a certified check with bank fees after the original check bounced a couple of weeks ago. I received payment after posting a comment on here about non payment for an April signing. I received a few telephone calls from the owner apologizing for the problems..Thanks for payment but why do this to people? I would not risk taking another signing from them too much of a headache trying to get paid!

I am not lying..I have the paperwork to back it up!

Re: Pacific Documents

Just to clear things up..I knew full well the reputation of this company before I took this signing! I like to give companies the benefit of the doubt despite the reputaions they may have. I make my own opinions! If I have a bad experience then I can only learn from this and move on. I have not been paid only 2 times in my career!

Re: Pacific Documents

Did a job on April 22nd, '09 for them- and No Pay- No Reply to calls- No reply to e-mails- Nothing- Sent a letter to SOS California- and they said Allissa Thomas was not a Notary Public, so they could not assist-

Contacted the Escrow Company- the Mortgage Company and the Lender, and they were all synpathetic, and would note their records etc.

Sounds like this Company has an ongoing thing to "Not Reimberse Notaries" for their work. Does this not sound like "Theft of Services" to purposely set out to "De-fraud Notaries" from the out set? Sounds like it from all those who have not been paid, that it is "Pre- Meditated" in nature.

Agree, working for "FREE" is not what we expected.

Re: Pacific Documents

Pacific Dox is the Company I'm referring to- Guess Pacific Documents is another Company entirely. Sorry for the mix-up.

Thanks for the heads up. This information is priceless. I accepted the signing before I looked at the company details. Decided to request payment for services via fed-ex on a refi with a 3 day right to cancel. Got the cashier's check and all is well.

Paul was very very persistent with his voice mail calls to my cell. I chuckled when he left messages stating that holding the documents for 24 hours was not legal (It took great restraint not to return his calls and comment on passing bad checks on a regular basis). He sent the certified check via fed ex. I sent the docs to the title company.

paul called me several months ago to do a two-pager. i saw their reputation on here, told him he had to overnight me a check or i would not do the signing. got the check, tried to call the borrower over and over. he told me to keep the check anyway......THEN did a refi closing for him on 3/26/09. didn't receive the check until 5/15. THE CHECK BOUNCED. gave me some story about a wire not coming in.....upon persistent hounding, i was able to finally cash it on 5/18.
