Still dragging their feet in that they have not sent a check as they advised they would.

To respond to the question of why I haven't answered, I was working in an attempt to recover the money I have apparently lost by working for Pacific Document Signing, Inc. I also learned how to link. I apologize for any problems that caused.

Re: please post in SC and which one..

I have already. Can't figure out how to post another one since it has been awhile. I am talking about Paul Gambs of Pacific Docs in Brentwood, CA. As you all know, California has been hit hard during these difficult economic times, as has Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada. It is completely unreasonable for you all to expect everyone in this business to be perfect, flawless and to come through this unscathed. Paul is so much more honorable than many of the SSs that lurk on this site. He has the gumption to answer the phone, respond to emails and yes, pay me for every job I have ever done for him! To most, he is unpopular, but I'll work for him any time he calls! Go ahead, post your rude and condescending comments. (Not directed at you, James) It doesn't bother me. You don't pay my bills. I do and I'm a survivor.

Providing the OP has the company name correct

it's not about Paul Gambs/Pacific Document Services....it's about Pacific Document Signings in L.A. -

Glad to hear you never had a problem with Mr. Gambs - you should read SC though - bouncing checks for 2-3 years is hardly admirable.

Re: you should read SC though

I have, all the time. Like I said, times are tough. This is my business and I do make the decisions. I usually know about a company the first time they call me. If I make the decision to give them a chance and they honor that risk by keeping their promise to me, it's a win, win. If they don't, well, screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, I got what I asked for. There are so many SSs out there I will never give a second chance to just because they would not respond. We are in uncharted times. I do not think we have hit bottom yet. I'm still white-knuckling it and it's one heck of a ride.

What a great description

"I'm still white-knuckling it and it's one heck of a ride."

I hope you are finding an alternative income stream also....

***This is my business and I do make the decisions.***

Sounds much like the parent who says she knows the babysitter has molested several kids, but the sitter's cheap, times are tough, and she never molested her kid.

One has to wonder how many other signing agents in your area Paul Gambs has stiffed in order to make sure you get paid and continue to post glowing, exculpatory recommendations.

That is very twisted.

So which is it? From your two posts I can't tell.

I realize the original topic is not about Paul's company, and my question is not about him or his company either. Your two posts are confusing to me. You say one thing in the first post as you defend Paul. Then when referencing other companies in general you have a 100% opposit view than the one you held in your first post about a specific company.

From your fist post:
"It is completely unreasonable for you all to expect everyone in this business to be perfect, flawless and to come through this unscathed"

As has already been pointed out, certain "issues" have been "issues" for several years and are not the result due to the current economic conditions. These "issues" were "issues" prior and have continued with the same or similar results throughout this current economic rollercoster ride.

Then, in this post you seem to change chairs and return to your seat on the other side of the table.

"There are so many SSs out there I will never give a second chance to just because they would not respond."

In your first post, you blast anyone and everyone that have had any issues with Paul's company specifically, and any company in general, and alert others to the situations. Alerting others about issues, as well as the good interactions, of the companies we deal with is actually a form of public service to our industry as a whole and NSA's specifically. Without such feedback where would you, or any of us, get the information needed for us to "know about a company the first time they call?"

It can be assumed that by your first post in total defense of Paul that you and he have a good working relationship. I have no reason to doubt that. However, in your defense of him you automatically assumed that the only reason for any issues with him is a result of the economy. Thus, you are doubting the validity of others claims and informing us of how "unreasonable" "we all" are being for alerting others to the experiences we have had with him.

So which is it?
It is OK to report issues and decide not to work with companies that don't pay as agreed.
OR
We should have expected it because of the economy and we are being unreasonable to expect companies to honor their agreements.
OR
Report other companies but to do the same to Paul is wrong because we are being "unreasonable" if we do that to him.

SIGNING

It is not Paul Gambs this time. I think you should give Rick time to respond before assuming he won't answer. He is out on an 8pm signing... He posted the correct name for the company and did not mean Paul Gambs.
But for those people that defend Paul: WOW- Really? I don't care to defend myself against personal attacks and I will never work for him again, but can you really call the NSF checks, shortages and lies honorable? Really? I understand hard times but an honorable person tells the truth and does NOT shortchange people and write NSF checks over and over and over.

Re: SIGNING

Janet, I think it was the poster (only 1 poster) that is defending P. G. that mistakenly got the OP company mixed up with Paul's.

I don't know which company was first (not looking for a history lesson here BUT I really wish these SS companies would put more thought into their company names. The latter, near copy cat named companies, need to stop ripping off other company names and just come up with their own name. If the good companies have not already copyrighted their name, they should spend the money. They would be able to stop all the negative impact that a new, very similarly named company could bring to them. Just a thought.

Since Rick has linked the post to the correct company everyone will now be able to ID the company being talked about.
