I seriously doubt all is well, if the borrowers weren't expecting it. I suggest that on Tuesday (or sooner, if possible) you call whoever hired you and advise them of what the borrowers told you. (Hopefully the borrowers are already planning to or already have talked to their escrow officer.) If they are correct - and I can't imagine why someone would make that up - whoever hired that notary will certainly want to know and sif it's not the same person, so will the EO, before they close and cut checks to vendors involved!
Did you have a new Settlement Statement for your re-sign? Did it show anything different from what was on the previous one? The other notary may have felt this was the only they were going to get paid for their time and effort, but I think that was highly inappropriate. This should always be taken up with the hiring entity and not the borrowers, unless they were the ones who did the hiring in the first place.
BTW, what was the reason it was a re-sign? That may give an indication as to why the other notary asked for payment, but that doesn't excuse it, in my opinion. |
