"New" fees SA's are being charged
With operations such as ValuAmerica (what ever spelling) charging us for thier various "services", requiring a cc to charge so they get "thier" $$$ and telling us to "just" add this to our fees.
Think about it, they get thier $$$ without any wait. Even if the operation you are working for will let us add those fees, we still wait 30, 45, 60, 90+ days, if ever, to get paid. If these services have value, why is not the lender, title/escrow cos paying for this? This is another way to get $$$ from us.
An example of a like charge, as have been posted recently , the "at your door
pick up charge" now being imposed by UPS and FedEd, try adding these to your fees for a signing. An aside, has anyone ask the the operation issuing that pre-paid label to have thier contract with UPS/FedEx renewed so this "pick up charge" is added to thier charges.
I know we can not keep some SAs from thinking this is a necessay evil and the way of doing bussiness.

Re: Do you get a lot of business from any of these
Grrrrrr--I'm getting so tired of the misconception & misinformed. Equity National is a great company. They pay in less than 30 days, and pay me by direct deposit. They recently started using the ValuAmerica platform for document delivery. From the get-go they advised us to increase our fee to cover the cost.
Again, for the last time I hope, we are not paying a fee to get work!!!!!!!
ValuAmerica is not an ss. Any ss gets a lot more of our money (sometimes half) even though we never see it.
