seen this over the years. It is not YOUR invoice that is being signed. It is an invoice from the Signing Company, or a hiring Title Company. A few lenders, signing companies and title companies have a weird requirement that a separate invoice be signed by the borrowers, much like invoices for appraisals, pest inspections, etc. are handled. What bugs me is the invoice is always higher than what you're getting, and the people always ask is that what you're getting? I respond with the truth...."No, unfortunately" with a wry smile. (Wry smiles take practice).
Cheryl and I have seen these on and off over the years. There is no "New Trend." Experienced professional notaries run across these from time to time, but they are few in numbers. |
