Hold on, what is your problem? The notary is not advertising on NotRot, she is advertising as a signing agent on another site. She is listed on a website that tells you how to find a notary in your particular area and that is soliciting business from title companies that find her name when they do a zip code search on another site. I personally would have no reason to believe that someone is not licensed when they are advertising to provide a service. Are we missing the whole point here? You are not in Maryland so why are you so worried. The MIA contacted another notary here that had themselves listed as doing signings in Maryland and told them to stop advertising something that they were not licensed to do. She admitted that she does closings and is looking for more work.
I did not solicit this notary, a friend of mine sent her an email. I did not run her name with the MIA, my friend did. THe MIA has the email with her info and will act accordingly. If they choose not to act, then that is their choice. One day, someone will have a "beef" with either their lender or the title company and when attorneys start picking away about a lender to get out of their mortgage and find out the notary was not licensed, then they (the non-licensed notary) will have to deal the hand they are dealt.
What are you trying to prove? No one trapped her. The conversation with her ended by the notary saying that she was not licensed but had "thought about it". She knows she has to be. She was asked if she had her T.P.L. There is not one notary here in Maryland that doesn't know you have to be licensed to do closings. Every underwriter and their mother want a copy of the t.p.l. when you send your w-9. I had a scheduler at Lenders First Choice tell me that is it okay to not be licensed and do a closing here. That was 6 months ago. I don't play with deadbeats so they don't call me. I know what monsters I am dealing with in Maryland, ask anyone from Maryland on here the crap we get and excuses to backdate. What about if she had been asked to backdate and said she would, she's knows it is wrong, but she had thought about it. Is that entrapment?
That would be like telling an undercover cop to stop selling crack on the street corner because it is entrapment. It doesn't work like that.
Done, over. Pick, pick, pick. It is what it is. |
