From a business experience CA State taxing agencies are more of a PITA to people/companies who do not pay their taxes, send 1099's, or W-2's. Their collection efforts are worse than the IRS. As the commercial says "Got Milk", well "got SS who don't pay their notaries, go here." Better yet, when the CA is finished with the companies, the CA taxing agencies turn them over to the IRS.

Hope all you unpaid notaries get paid, but the horse is
long gone of the barn and we know how these SS owners have blown their cash, it wasn't on paying their notaries. Fast cars, hot pads, hot boobs, exotic vacation destinations, and other frivolity.
These people have no intention of paying up fair and square! They people are selfish, greedy and despicable. But they do need to be investigated by the appropriate agencies, the ones I mentioned above as well as the county DA's office.
So vetting SS's is important...how to do that: Ask ??? We can no longer take these companies on face value. You might as well understand there is a greater chance of not getting paid these days because of the current economic conditions in the lending industry.
1) Please send me a copy of your business license and your fictitious business name statement. Who is your liability insurance carrier. Yes, I would also like to know your E&O Policy No., carrier, who it insures and for what amount. What is your after hours number and cell phone number. HOW LONG IN BUSINESS? Are you a notary also? Are your employees also notaries? Where do you live?
2) Are all your employees background checked by the NNA? How will my private information be stored in your office, electronically or hard copy, password protected, and kept locked in a safe, secure, locked file storage cabinet or safe. Who will have access to this information?
3) I would like three business and character references from you and who/where is your nearest living relative, address, telephone and mobile phone.
4) All invoices must be paid in 30 days or less, sorry, you're paid in 3-5 days, 45+ days is unacceptable.
5) Where do you bank and who is your banking officer whom you deal with.
6) My contract requires that you must notify me if you move your offices, change your bank account from which notaries are paid, and if you sell your company, I must be notified of all that new owners' names. All above requirements must be adhered to.
7) What is your previous business experience that qualifies you to be a signing service, serving the financial and title/escrow industries?
8) Minor details: Have you ever been incarcerated, used drugs, have a drinking problem, beat up your kids, spouse or mother, or a registered drug or sex offender. Do you dress professionally, are you courteous and honorable?
Sorry, have to know this about you before I can accept orders from you.
We are independent contractors. We cannot allow people to write contracts that are not in our best interest like the one that was posted here for SigningScream Inc.
Folks, you will not believe the number of new signing services that have surfaced in the last 12 months, and four at least are low pay, slow pay, NO PAY companies. We've seen two of them go belly up in the last 90 days. We've got to protect ourselves from these vultures. It's the biggest SCAMMNG of notaries I've ever seen in my Notary Career.
