Hard to believe but I am getting ready to

turn back some hard to find business due to lack of payment (56 days late) on a previous closing. I am not busy and it's not like I am giving up any other closings to do this one but I don't want to run around on a freezing night for the fun of it. I don't want them to be in to me for two closings so I'm leaning toward turning it back. It's for Friday so I'm going to do it early so they can find another notary and I will call the BO and tell her I can not make it but will not mention why. Once it all shakes out I will post the SS/TC's names, neither are highly rated.

That's a decision we've all had to make at one time or

another. There's no point to take work that you have a hassle in getting paid for.
You can always ask for payment upfront through PayPal.

Re: PayPal will return the funds if requested

by SS/TC and look to you to make it good if you have drawn them out. I offered to let the SS/TC wire the funds into my acct - they are still laughing. Will post out come soon.

PayPal will ONLY return the funds if there is a legitimate

dispute. If you are found to be in default, yeah, you will get your money deducted because PP must follow the credit or debit card bank.

I've been using PP for 7 years, and no problems. I prefer to be paid this way, I get my money up front, with no waiting around for payment 30+ after closing.

I've never had a problem getting paid through PP. n/m

Sounds like good business practice. "Running around for the fun of it" on any night is no good!

I just declined to take one outside my county for today 2pm because of no hint of when docs will be ready. Like you said, it's not like I'm booked - but I DO have a life; and if TC can't even confirm that docs will be ready by noon . . . oh well (keeping my stress level Low)
