LSI

Has anyone else received the LSI email about a new opportunity?

It asks us to take a webinar and a survey. When I tried to log in the password that they provided is not working..I did email vendor management about this.

Got it. Did it about 2 months ago. However, I am on the West Coast and I think they're do this in segments.

If password doesn't work, email person who sent it to you. They'll correct.

This email was not about the E&O Survey I did that one as well. This is a different one. Yes I did email them and have to wait and see for the reply!

I also rec'd it and can't get it. I think it's about closing loans at banks and branch offices at low rates. I'll reserve judgement until I see it. If they can offer 2 or 3 closings, back to back, at the same location it might work. We'll see.

I haven't received the email yet, but jeeze LSI is already a low-payer! How much lower do they want us to go? As it is, I only accept their jobs in my zip code due to the rock-bottom fee.

Perhaps so that you will do them bedside - your bed. (Why, I wouldn't even get out of bed for this one.")

LOL

This eminds me of MortgagueDocs.com out of Pheonix a 5 or so years ago with thier in local WAMU branch siging.
Lost of BS. Low pay.
The owner told me printing e-docs should only be $10 as all you needed to do was send the pdf file to your printer and walk away.

"send the pdf file to your printer and walk away."

Yeah, in an ideal world no printer runs out of toner, paper, or jams let alone spits it on the floor or somehow gets it out of order.

Yes, it is a monkey job. (sarcasm)

Not to mention, the last LSI package I did was 11 attachments sent to me!!!! You can't just hit print and walk away on that...

The above was referring to Mortgage.doc's not LSI...Just an FYI.

I was able to log in to the webinar and complete the survey. Afterwards I opened one of the email attachments that had a Signing/Closing Agent Fee Schedule. It said the total for base and email fee could not exceed $85. It showed base fee of $60 for a 25 miles radius (50 mile round trip) + $25 for email docs. Are they kidding? There is no way I can stay in business with those low fees.

Wow! $25 for e-docs? Those were the good ole days...

...I remember them fondly. I had to negotiate just to get an extra $15 for my most recent order from the last signing service I worked for. Their scheduler wanted me to do the order for $50, including 45 miles, one-way travel + 130 page, 2 copy package. I was shocked that she could quibble over $15. This seems to be an all-too-common practice among Signing Services. Reminds me of an unsolicited email I received from a now-defunct signing service whose website advertised signing orders to NSA's with the lowest bid. I wish that I had saved said email...I could use a good laugh right about now : (

Normally, I wouldn't have accepted such a low-ball offer. But, business has been slow and the signing services know it. Because Arkansas has the highest concentration of Notaries Public in the U.S.A., competition for signing orders is significant. One scheduler even commented to me that she had other notaries from my area, in her database, who would accept the low fee said she offered me, if I was unable to do so.

As unemployment increases, so do the number of new notaries entering our profession. The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if legislation is proposed that would make it illegal for notaries public to charge for their services, anymore. I hope that isn't the case. Only TIME will tell.
