5 replies | Got hit with two opportunities to spend $$ for training | By Cheryl Elliott on 5/5/24 3:22pm
and directory subscription at a deep discount.
It's that time of open season on notaries to line the pockets of other notaries (barely seasoned) whose bank accounts need infusion of cash.
Sigh! Unsubscribe.
What I would like to know is why notaries with 20 plus years' experience need to spend money on your genX notary training for bird seed fees! Meanwhile, you want to know who we work for by giving references, and to cut our teeth on your idiotic training modules.

2 replies | I'm back | By Tracy Walters on 5/3/24 3:21pm
Hey Guys and Gals!
I got out of the game for a couple years, but I'm back. So I'm glad the loan closing world in IL now employs online notarizing. It took them long enough.
So, I'm trying to pick which company I should go with for a notarization platform and my head is spinning. Can anyone throw a few names out you trust? Thanks so much!

1 replies | Beware Dawn Fenney The Notary Company | By Patricia McDaniel on 5/2/24 12:22pm
I was not careful with this assignment or I would have turned it down. This was a non-payment for an application and I was later told she does not pay until closing.

9 replies | How would you handle an overpayment? | By Yoli/CA on 5/1/24 1:46pm
This is primarily for newbies.
I had a signing last week that cancelled the first day due to numbers not being correct and then being rescheduled for the following day. On day one, I expected to receive a trip and print fee only.
Today, I get the e-check and it's for $125 more than expected for the entire invoice for that assignment (2 trips). I called SS and inquired. He said that e-check is for last week's assignment and the one for (name, in Newcastle) in March that he hadn't yet paid. Okay, thanks!
It didn't sit right with me. Did I miss invoicing for an assignment? I always generate an invoice regardless of whether a hiring party requires it or not -- just for my records and really helps at tax time. I reviewed that SS's customer statements in my bookkeeping program. Sure enough! That name was signed in Newcastle in March ... of 2022 ... and SS paid my fee that same month. Called him back and advised of my findings. He was very appreciative of my honesty and ethics. By the way, he's the same way. While on the phone with him, I rejected the (overpayment) e-check on that system and he immediately turned around and paid my invoice by credit card in my bookkeeping program.
Some people would argue that I should've just taken the e-check and not questioned it. That perhaps it was just a gesture of goodwill. Personally, I had to discern the motive. If SS wanted to give me a bonus, so be it and THANK YOU. If not, well let's find out and work it out.
Reputation is everything in this business.

6 replies | Perplexed re. a client's request after recent Apostille | By Cheryl Elliott on 5/1/24 12:21pm
This is a real brain teaser. Recently I prepared an apostille request for a lady who was born in Germany, and her mother is still there, in her 90s, wanting to gift her a sum of money before she passes.
The notary in Germany sent back the apostille and said it is worthless.
His note (handwritten in scrawl on a 3x3 postit) reads:
This needs a consent to the contracts uuz-nr 1895/2024 1905/2024.
Well, I know nothing of German consent to (blah, blah) and neither does my client.
Is there anyone out there who knows what is being requested? I am wondering if the German Consulate in LA would be of assistance.
Anyone out there with other ideas? My client is very confused.

4 replies | you can't make this up | By Blueink_TN on 4/29/24 2:58pm
Had a purchase signing and when I confirmed, I was told to call when I got to the gate and they'd let me in. Well, the gate was open, so I drove in and the borrower was surprised and said "dang it, they are supposed to keep the gate closed". Looking around and seeing no other homes, I said something like oh, you must have kids. She said no, the home was sold and she thought they had 30 days to vacate, but actually had zero. The new owners arrived from out of state, moving van and all~ they had nowhere to go, so they were all living in the home TOGETHER! I noticed they had several dogs on the property and mentioned that at least it looked like the dogs all got along. She said the dogs were all hers but the new owners brought nine kangaroos and they were being kept in the barn. She said they were smelly, lol.
They couldn't wait to finish the signing so they could start moving~hopefully the sales contract said immediate occupancy.

If they say no they move on if they really need it to be notarized so they will receive there commission they don’t have a problem with it … I send a receipt so they will get reimbursed

16 replies | COLLECTIONS 101 | By Cheryl Elliott on 4/29/24 10:57am
Some notaries who have exhausted many methods of collecting delinquent fees from SSs have employed the following means as a final demand.
Send a certified letter along with a 1099-C form advising that agent will be writing off the amount owed in 14 days and sending the 1099-C form to the IRS letting them know the debt was written off and they would need to claim this as income and this could possibly trigger an audit of their business. The same day the SS confirmed receipt from USPS that they got the letter, saying the money would be in agents account in three days.
It nets great results and is a clear winner to get paid promptly.

7 replies | Right Hand Service - No Pay/Slow Pay | By BCLGroup on 4/29/24 9:43am
I just wanted to give a heads up on Right Hand Notary Services. I recently did “3” signing for them. One in February and then two in March.
I have not been paid as of yet and I have had to call now for the fourth time today. They have about a 30 day net pay. As much as I don’t care for this I make sure that I have work so that I don’t have to worry much about funds that pay out in 30-45 days.
They are located in Houston, Texas and when I called about the first check (which is now over 60 days past due) I was told the post office advised them it it would take 5-7 business days. The interesting thing is it does not take that long to mail from Houston to Austin. My family lives in Houston and I have lived in Austin for 17 years now.
Then when I called after the 7 days I was told to give it a couple of more days then they will place a stop pay.
So I am calling today, again to inform them that I have yet to receive payment.
Be cautious of this service! I am not sure why these notary services do this. You get people saying they have to run a business etc. Yes, they do but learn how to run your business. I have worked in a title office and files fund normally the same day or at least within about 3-5 days unless there are some circumstance that delays funding. The point is that everyone is paid when the file funds. I work direct with title companies and other services that pay within 7 days (yes they are out there).
Be cautious of this company. I will be calling again today.

It is been a year and they never paid me. They marked my order paid through deluxe and deluxe claimed they created a check but the company never assigned it to my email. I called more than several times to explain this, and the company ignored me and just never paid!!! what a shame it was only $75!
