"Since you've already accepted the order, ethically, you cannot turn it back."
Technically, the order that was accepted was different from what the reality of the signing turned out to be. To me - and I'm sure I'm not alone on this - that means all bets are off. Having said that, it's very rare that I will turn back an assignment, once I've accepted, out of respect (when due...) for my client and the borrower(s). But that doesn't mean that I'm going to put up with a scheduler being sneaky to try to get an assignment filled. That respect issue works both ways. If a scheduler lies to me, I see nothing ethical about that, and if they weren't willing to work within me in a reasonable way (i.e. fee adjustment), I would turn it back.
(Of course, it that's going to happen, we want to make sure it gets done ASAP.) |
