Geez, Pat. As soon as you get to a signing where you know borrowers will be giving you a check, do not pass go, do not go to jail, do not take another breath. Instead, immediately pull out an envelope (preferably brightly colored as once suggested by Gina Priest of Ocean Pacific), write "check enclosed" on it. Place envelope prominently on signing table. Then as soon as you've gone over the HUD or settlement statement with borrowers (first thing) put the check in the envelope and STAPLE it to the HUD/settlement statement.
Never just toss a check in an envelope and hope TC won't lose it. That's like hoping you'll win the next state lottery. Or think of some other system that you know will work for you so this won't happen again. Good luck! |
