Insured Closings

I won't ever sign for them again......totally learned my lesson.....but they still owe me for one closing from August. This is what happens when you give someone a chance.......try to see the good in them.......it comes back to bite you in the rear! I sent an invoice in September, and of course that was a waste of my time. I have called several times and Sue tells me that "the check is in the mail". The check has been in the mail for more than four weeks now. Finally she tells me last Friday that she is going to write out another check and personally take it to the post office. As of today, I still do not have a check. So obviously she did not keep her word because it does not take one week for mail to go from Ohio to Minnesota.

I don't think they are paying anyone.....and the checks she has mailed out to notaries have bounced according to the comments I have read here on Notary Rotary. How in the world does this company stay in business? How in the world do they still have 2.5 stars? Why are the title companies still using them?

I have never done this before.....but I am just mad enough.....don't have me do a signing for you and then not pay me.....and then worse yet lie to me about the check is in the mail. So I am going to tell everyone here at Notary Rotary.......don't do any signings for Insured Closings unless of course you enjoy being lied to and you would like to work for free so that someone else can make money off of you.

They call me I just tell them no thanks. According to my records (they dont owe me) but they pay low. I used to do alot of work for them when I first started in 2006/7 to get my feet wet. I wouldnt touch them with a 10 ft pole in this day and age.

That is how it was with me too Toni. I did signings for one title company from when I was an underwriter with one of the lenders, and I wanted to build my business and it was a way for me to get my feet wet with other companies as well. I didn't know the difference between a title company and a signing company. I didn't even know about the Signing Central rating system back then or low balling or no pay or any of that stuff you read about here on the forum. Ron Taus was really nice to me and I did some closings and I always got paid. He left the company and checks started taking longer and longer to get sent out. I was only doing about two a month with them because I was always booked when they called or it was too far for me to drive. Well I won't ever do a signing for them again.

Curious, what if you asked to have the checked

scanned and emailed to you. If it's a clean copy would you be able to electronically deposit it? I've had some people ask for a copy of the check to be sent to them from my previous employer to essentially show the good faith in the check issued. Now the question is, is there good faith on their part.

Did you keep the title company information?

I would tell Sue, Bernie used to be the owner, don't know if he still is, that you are going directly to the title company and report the non payment.

Remember, title companies use the file number/property address.

They were such low ballers I didn't do much for them and they only used me when they had to pay more but they WERE prompt.

Good luck

I would call the title company. precision did the same thing, I called the title company and apparently they knew about the problem and they paid me.
