Beware Beware Beware!!!!!

So I need to vent. Dumb me, did signings for So Cal Signings from July -Sept. Of course did not get checks, did not get checks. Called , emailed yaddee yahddaw. Checks are in mail checks not in system you know the drill.

Just last week got a call on last day said no I had way too much money owed. Lisa, oh that Lisa she called and said let's discuss. I let the phone go to voice mail and wrote an email attaching the email thread about non-payment we had the week before.

Sun all checks are gone and thanks for your help. Tues checks returned. Shall I pay thru pay pall, I said wht diff does it make just send thru mail again. Checked my mail Thur, no checks, Fri the same and today checks but guess what only 3 some dated for Aug, if I have my dates right we are in October. But most important, checks aren't done as you said Lisa you still owe me for 5 signings.


Beware Beware of this horid signing service.

This SS has not paid the notary for 7 closings! WTF. I could see if payment has been delayed, and they are behind say 2, and then I would also agree that perhaps no need to blow them out on NotRot. However, we're talking about 7 UNPAID CLOSING!

Shoot...this notary has every right to rat them out on this forum!

Dirty laundry...hardly more like Dirty pool....if she can pay the ones that have said on this post that they've not had a problem with payment, then why hasn't she paid this particular notary?

To answer your question MW/VA. It boils down to expectations. As a litigator I have found usually both parties share some type of blame when negative issues occur. This is caused by a failure to communicate precisely what is expected by each party.

We humans really do not communicate effectively. Yes we have better technology than a thousand years ago, but humans remain making mistakes. Rather than bring truly slanderous discussions on a board because they are mad, it is much better to temper your statements with only the truth. Do no embellish.

As much as I love the law. It does me no gain to see persons served with a lawsuit over these matters that can be worked out in Private.

Re: Beware of Slander Dana

Dana Velkers,

Based upon your previous unsubstantiated emails, and verbal statements. You have now committed liable.

As legal counsel for Socal Signings. Socal Signings will not tolerate these ongoing false statements. You leave them with no recourse but serve you with a complaint in Superior Court if these false statements do not cease.

I am in constant amazement at what people will say on discussion boards. However when under Oath in depositions, or open court their story changes and is tempered with either an apology, or they come clean with the truth.

You or your attorney may email me if you any questions about the seriousness of how a slander lawsuit can affect your business. I highly suggest you immediately stop your campaign of false statements.

You're saying Dana WAS fully paid all monies owed to her and her statement that she "did not get the checks" is completely false ? Why would a Notary risk being sued for libel and say they were not paid when in fact they were paid? Why would Dana pick the company you're representing as the one to arbitrarily bad-mouth? Doesn't sound logical to me [unless my logic is faulty]. Hope you have canceled checks as proof Dana WAS, in fact, fully paid when you file that libel complaint or you'll see a countersuit for BREACH OF CONTRACT if she fulfilled her duties and was not paid according to the agreement.

Facts are facts, and as long as you stick to the facts you've done nothing wrong.

Thank goodness I am only responsible for my actions.

Dana is the only issue that I need to speak of and she is right to question monies due her.

However for me its unfortunate, and I take ownership of Dana's payment issue.
I have also resolved it, and I am certain that she will receive all monies due her shortly if not already

So, who is this supposed attorney of yours??

We don't see your repudiating his statements. Would you please clarify for all of us?

So Lisa, are you going to answer the questions?

Who is the moron that claims to be your attorney?He says he represents you? He can't have any law experience, as he doesn't know the difference between libel and slander, and can't even spell correctly. Is your delay in payment just another SS excuse to delay payments due? Inquiring minds want to know the whys and hows......Got any answers, or are you just going to pretend this didn't happen?

Yes, you are responsible for your actions.
However, why didn't you question as to who this alleged attorney of yours is?

I own a signing service and if another notary posted that they were my attorney, I would be questioning what right he or she had claiming to be my attorney when they weren't.

Not questioning this does reflect on you.

Maybe she went into hiding like her alleged "attorney" n/m

Re: Maybe he is Lisa Bittner's Boy-Toy :)

After reading the original post and SoCal's post, I am confused as to what really happened here. If the issue was indeed that the checks were returned by the post office, why didn't SoCal contact Dana immediately to find out if address on file was correct or incorrect? How long did SoCal have the returned checks? Dana said she was contacted by SoCal for a job at EOM but had to decline due to unresolved payment issues. Is SoCal such a big operation that it was not aware of some checks being returned by post office and couldn't they have addressed it with Dana on that same phone call?

Plus, I looked at Dana's profile and her mailing address is there plain as day on Notary Rotary and also on the numbers site - I feel SoCal should have checked this immediately when the payments were returned by the post office, and this whole mess could have easily been avoided.

Yes, it certainly doesn't appear to pass the sniff test! n/m

Trying to explain on this board is never a good idea, so many of you who have never worked for SoCal have so much to say.
I will say the following and that is all.

1. I did email Dana when the checks came back to us the same day.
2. I have spoken to Dana this morning, and in fact she and I discussed this issue and are in complete agreement as to its resolution to this issue
3. SoCal Signings has only one attorney that we ever worked with. This Roberto Montero or Roger Killackey either are NOT that attorney.

SoCal Signings or Lisa did not authorize this poster to say anything in regards to this matter.

I have never asked anyone to speak on my behalf on Notary Rotary, and certainly not in this case.

My concern is for Dana Velkers and those who have actually worked for us only! And I have resolved this issue and she and I are on the same page.

However, as this post has given so many so much to say.. go for it.

That is all you had to say Lisa.
As you see from message 306086, the poster claimed to be your legal counsel.

Not only did the poster claim to be an attorney (although not listed anywhere, other than in his updated profile, as an attorney) but he claimed to represent your company.
Seems you may have a case against him

IMO as would Dana as he threatened her with legal action....

And Lisa, FWIW, though you and I don't always see eye to eye, I think you've handled this exactly as it should have been done - between you and Dana and not in the Court of Public Opinion.

True - and he did it on a public message board!


I agree, Lisa handled it the best way - as regards the problem with Dana's payment.

The majority of the thread was not about Dana's payment, but regarding someone who represented himself as an attorney.

O.K., thanks for the answers Lisa, and just so you know,

I've worked for you, and I've always had to prod you to get paid....

nothing but problems with this signing company.

If I closed 10 loans for them , I had problems with 7 or 8. Not always payment problems ( but sometimes payment problems)~ I used to read what a great company they were from everyone here- so I kept my mouth shut. One in particular comes to mind. Theh call and they need me for a last minute closing, I am doing something (can't remember) run home to get on with this signing- call and ask for docs and a confirmation and they tell me they really don't need me. I found Lisa to be very nice to talk to- but not someone I liked doing buSiness with-as Rosana Dana said " it was always something".

it came down to her finding someone cheaper than you....

typical of SS that take advantage of notaries..."...and the lowest bidder is...." NOT YOU.

Totally unprofessional to do this to you...

Ratings in Signing Central tell me all I need to know...

I'm glad for Dana and hope that she does indeed receive her payment. But SoCal's ratings in Signing Central speak for themselves. Yes, a few positive comments, but the negatives far outweigh the positives! And very recent comments, too!
