Title co "damaged" the last page of a mortgage I notarized..
Posted by Katelyn Hart of PA on 1/15/21 2:33pm Msg #628546
.. in mid-December.

Two days ago they send me an email with a scanned copy of the original page (before it was "damaged"), with my stamp and signature, and a also blank copy of the same page. They want me to recreate the original and mail it back to them ASAP. They didn't offer any additional compensation for this task, which gave me a good chuckle because FedEx is a 20 minute drive each way and it was their mistake entirely.

I assumed that this was not permitted anyways, and I checked-in with the PA Association of Notaries (PAN) to confirm (which they did, said that this is not permitted) before responding back saying that I cannot fulfill this request BUT that I can make a trip back to the borrowers if they need me to. For a fee, of course.

Now I have several people from the title company and the signing company (who hired me for this assignment) emailing me, INSISTING that what they're asking me to do is legal because "This acknowledgement does not require the borrower's signature. I attached the acknowledgement done at closing for your review. We are asking for a duplicate of what you witnessed at that time."

I mean... this is definitely illegal, right? How should I respond to them? Should I even bother responding? This sucks because I'm pretty new and have gotten most of my assignments through this signing service, so if they give me the boot I'm not going to be in great shape. I also haven't been paid for this assignment yet...
