8 replies | NEW CT SENATE BILL PROHIBITS NOTARIES FROM REFI'S | By tony1994CT on 8/24/19 9:34pm
As of october 1 2019 NSAs will not be able to perform any more refi closing in the state of connecticut
as per Senate bill passed last week (senate bill 320)
Consumers will suffer enormously with the promulgation of this law since they will have to pay at the least 4 times as much more to do a rate and term refi closing from October ! with an attorney!
How is the Connecticut consumer protected with this new Senate Bill?

7 replies | POA Multiple Agents | By biglee/Ca on 8/24/19 1:57am
I was asked if I can notarize a durable power of attorney with multiple agents in California. I have never had a request to do this before. Not sure how to handle this. The document was created by one of the agents not an attorney.

6 replies | Cleveland Home Title Agency LTD dba Performance Title G/B/U? | By PSULION/PA on 8/23/19 4:55pm
Good evening friends .... I need some info if available.
I was contacted by Liz Schwertman to do a seller side doc signing.
She said she from Performance Title but when she sent the docs over I got no contact info except the email address that the docs came from and the phone number which was on my cell (I checked it as a Cinti / Loveland, OH phone number). Really can't find out anything else. The hair is standing up on the back of my neck. Anyone have any experience of knowledge of this outfit to pass along?
Much appreciated
Ron

0 replies | Notary on Call, San Diego, CA | By Yoli/CA on 8/23/19 4:21pm
For 2019, SC ratings say payments are getting later and later and requiring chasing - with 2-3 star ratings. Prior years show them with very good to great reviews. Are they underfunded or just changed their ways (and not for the better)?
Would appreciate hearing from those with actual experience with them. TIA!

1 replies | RAH RAH SIS BOOM BAH! Let's Hear It For The 2 Star Companies | By  PegiT_MN on 8/23/19 3:00pm
For those of you who think just because a 2 star company paid you and now you want to rave about them here on the forum and say that you will work for them again and that just because they threw you a little bone it must mean they have suddenly changed their ways after years and years and years of taking advantage of your fellow colleagues, please do not come crying on the board when they burn you, and do not come on the board and tell people who they can and cannot work for and accuse them of keeping horrid companies in business by taking work from them because . . . well . . . you just did the exact same thing.

Do I got to ________? Yes, I do but not for NC. You guys don't pay your notaries.
The scheduler replied that not any more, we pay our notaries now.
Not what I heard, I said. She hung up on me.
I guess this might mean it's safe to go there now???!!???

13 replies | Working Direct - Pros & Cons | By Alz on 8/23/19 12:53pm
I think most professionals in our business strive to work direct, i.e. no middle person or entity.
Those that do work direct have certain advantages, but no one to my knowledge has mention any disadvantages.
Has there been any discussions about the pros and cons of working direct?
I’m sure most of you can list at least 3 pros right off the dome, but what about the cons? Are there any cons?
You know me, just curious…….

I’m in the triad area of NC. Gso/WS. Most people use attorneys for closings, so how can you make it worth your while when the average fee is $35?

9 replies | Notary Cloud | By NewPhoenix on 8/22/19 10:23pm
I don't see any recent posts but what is happening with them? I sent them an invoice last week as part of the email message. Today I receive a reply back that "we cannot except (sic) this as an invoice. It must be attached." So I printed the same thing, scanned it, and then attached it as a file to my reply. So why did I have to waste my time doing this? Is this just a delay tactic?

7 replies | USPS "Informed Delivery" Digest | By JanetK_CA on 8/22/19 3:50pm
If you haven't yet signed up for the USPS Informed Delivery service, I highly recommend it. Essentially, every morning of scheduled postal delivery, they do a scan of whatever snail mail is scheduled to be delivered to you (minus some junk that won't go through their scanners, of course) and send you an email with the image of each piece of mail you should expect in your mail box every day... except when it doesn't arrive, as happened to me this week.
The letter I missed is probably some kind of junk, but it was addressed to my business name, and the return address just said it was from "Bill Payment" (from Cromwell, CT). I was hoping it was some kind of e-check from a client who had told me a few days before that payment would be sent out right away, but it's tough to know. I managed to run into my postman the next day, but when I asked him about it, he just said he wasn't working the day before. He gave me the phone number to the local post office, but when I call it just disconnects. Fun...
Naturally, I'll check back with my client, but this whole adventure has me wondering how often this might be a factor with non-payment. It still might just be junk mail, but while dealing with this, I thought I'd pass on info about this service, in case it's something others are interested in, if available in your area... I'm pretty sure I signed up for this online. (I certainly didn't do it over the phone!)
If a check ever went missing, we'd never know about it without something like this. (For example, when we have a fill-in postman, mail often ends up being delivered to the wrong box, so anything could happen...)

4 replies | Paid as promised Loan Processing Center Louisville, KY | By Luckydog on 8/22/19 12:39pm
David kept his word, and my check is in the mailbox today. 12 days late according to their posted payment schedule. I did appreciate his sincerity on the phone and our correspondence back and forth. I will work for them again IF they can shrink that window of turnaround time to in the most 45 days out from date of closing, or all signings pay the 15th of the next month from the previous month. I am too busy to mess with keeping my books open this far out personally. I do believe they are working on a new time frame and perhaps go to e-checks or similar. Not sure, but wanted to post and update it is here. I do believe companies can change and turn things around, but it takes work, sincerity, and action to do so.

10 replies | Email from "John Foster" he is a scammer | By Mills Mobile Notary Service on 8/21/19 4:44pm
Note I got email from from a John Foster representing a real Escrow company called Regency Escrow. Delete it, but it almost appears legit.
They never heard of him so he is a scammer. One of keys to ID a scammer is the email is a gmail or outlook domain. Also they never put a phone number in their signature block.
