I have completed three assignments for them: #1 the doc packages are very large--200+ pages #2 They pay only 1/3 of the fee if there is a no sign In our rural area it is common to travel 40+ miles one way to meet signers. #3 My suggestion is get specifics before you accept an assignment!  ollie

I accepted a closing from this company and never got a confirmation. On the day of the closing, at 10am which was the time of the closing, I got a message that the docs were ready! In the meantime I had scheduled others. Anyway, a woman called me all ticked off and hung up on me. Not good for a newbee-  lanerocket

Haven't worked with them, but did get a call today for way too far away and man nearly had a coronary when I told him I'd do it for $XXX, but Appt. had to be moved to later in day due to distance. BTW, my fee for similar has been accepted by other companies, so I'm guessing this is a low-pay company. If you don't value your time and experience, nobody else will.  Lee-AR

Just got a call from them tonight. First time to do a loan with them. Will see how it goes. =^..^=  bakerbee

We should all just say no to the stipulation ( No fund no Fee ) then they will begin to wave that due to pressure and in time drop it. RAP  22806

This company doesn't pay! And they are mean about it Run! Do not work for them  On the Go

For the second time....I have had to chase down my fee from them....this time..two months overdue! I have just found out they have a "no fund, no pay" policy....which should apply to their clients, but they apply it to their service providers. So if a loan doesn't close you won't get paid. Mary K. Villalba  estre68132

I just spoke to Judy at Notaries Express. She was very professional and communicative. She asked what I would charge for a reverse (after establishing that I had never done any), and she quickly approved the fee I requested, saying they pay in 30 days as long as I turn in my W-9 and credentials. Then, without provocation, she said she would waive the "no fund, no fee" policy, and she did include it in the order in writing. Unfortunately, shortly after I received the order and called to confirm with the borrower, I got a voicemail from Judy saying that the signing had been cancelled by the borrower. Kind of strange since I had just talked to him, but things happen, I s'pose!  StLLadyT

No fund- no fee policy. Won't work for any company with this policy. How do we know if it didn't close unless we call the borrower or title co. If you contract to do work, and you didn't make any mistakes, you get paid regardless. Sorry all you no fund- no fee companies, that's the real world.  Dannotary

Right you are Dan. My answer is PayPal up front. Then the motto for the notary becomes: No fund - no care. It was NOT your fault. As you so correctly said "you didn't make any mistakes" then you (per MY policy) have no reason to refund!

This outfit is completely unscrupulous. I handled a signing for them on 6/24. I left for vacation on 6/27. On 6/28 I received a call from them regarding the fact that I missed one of two signatures on a Name Affidavit. I was told to contact the borrower and set up a time to rectify the situation immediately. After some harassment by William Croce, I informed them that I was out of state on vacation and would handle it upon my return. He said he would get another notary. Fine. Then, on July 13 (over two weeks later!), I get a call asking me to go out and get the doc resigned. Ok. Did it, and acknowledged it the day it was signed (7/13). They then tried to tell me that I was to BACKDATE it to the original signing date. After, some discussion in which I let Mr. Croce know in no uncertain terms that I had no intention of doing so, I received a call from someone else at the company, whom I let know the same thing. The next thing I get is a correction of the original order zeroing out my payment altogether. DO NOT WORK FOR THESE GUYS unless you have no problem doing something illegal!  Susan Cook

Retraction: I meant Express Notaries. My apologies!!!!!!!  Susan Cook

I would like to post an update referencing my continued relationship with Notaries Express and staff I previously mentioned and completed (2) previous signings for Notaries Express and as of today 12/5/2016, I have been compensated for them. Moving forward, I was recently ASSURED by the Notaries Express staff that this would not be an issue for any future signings I may complete for them. With that, I sincerely believe and hope this to be true.   psmkkk

I have had to chase them down for my payment each and every time I have done anything for them. The latest payment took 3 months to receive. I won't be doing anymore work for them. I bet they don't wait 3 months to get their paychecks!   mariabakies

Thanks, Linda -- I can always depend upon you to answer :-) Hope you're having a great day!!!   lightk

This isn't good in my opinion, it will be too much like a robot summoning human beings for work. I prefer to work with people I know than shadowy figures sitting behind a computer network. Don't give into this Wizard of OZ stuff. Without agencies our careers would be adversely affected. They're looking for cheap notaries at $75 for such prestigous locations as Mill Valley. If they cut out the middleman agencies, they clearly aren't passing along the income to us but sucking it up like a black hole. I never signed up with them yet they're sending me emails. I never work for an agency that sends out blanket emails for people to respond and get rejected for. Only desperate people want this kind of work relationship with a inhuman system. Do not fall for this scam, never give in to a computer network system above human beings! It's evil and Satanic, dehumanizing! Sincerely yours, Notary's Life  notaryslife

Heh..apparently I signed up for this...I don't even remember doing it - also can't say I've gotten any calls from it.. Linda http://www.columbiacountynotary.webs.com  LindaH

I haven't received any business from this either.   lightk

I know I never signed up for this company and I'm getting offers to do signings for $75. Take a hike! I'm also getting emails from Global Notary - I may have signed up with them, but I don't believe I expected the business to be strictly electronic. While I don't subscribe to satanism :-) I certainly agree that dealing with live people is absolutely the only way to conduct business. And Global Notary's fees are all over the map, and very low - $40 - $70 tops. I don't leave the house for less than $90 - the costs of doing business have gone through the roof!   LeslieO

I'm proud of you Leslie. I bet I've received 20 calls this week all for refinance edocs that were under $100. I even had one scheduler tell me if I took a signing (2 1/2 hours one way) for $60 (yes, edocs AND faxbacks), they'd send me all their business. She was VERY shocked when I told her what my fee would be. NOTARIES -- STAND YOUR GROUND -- IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE WORTH HIGHER FEES, THEN GO TO WORK FLIPPING BURGERS FOR MINIMUM WAGE How can notaries think they are making any profit by accepting $60 for edocs and fax backs???? even if the alternative is that you're just sitting at home, $60 doesn't cover printing approx 230 pages (ink and paper and time); driving to the signing; conducting the signing; faxing back docs; getting back in the car to go to UPS/FedEx. I wish more and more notaries would stand their ground instead of accepting ridicously low fees.   lightk

I told them my fee is $125, payable up front. Neil L. Kleeger  nkleeger

I too have received emails from this company and I know for a fact I DID NOT sign up with them. I would respond by letting them know MY fee, they never acknowledged my response to them. I have told them to quit sending me emails, but they have not stopped so I'm sending them to SPAM I am!! Go Fer You Mobile Notary - TX  TexasRose

I have done three signings for them. My thoughts are as follows: 1. They offer lowball rates, between $60 and $85 2. They do have live people you can talk to on the phone. They are not always available but they are there 3. They DO pay, but their terms are net 45 days. I have received 2 checks from them already 4. Their online platform is awesome, logs all times and keeps everyone updated 5. Docs sometimes come late, in which case they will bump your fee. Personally not worth it in my opinion for the hassle 6. Bottom line, they are not the best company, but if the alternative is sitting at home making NOTHING, some of you will choose to do so, I might pick up one job from them in a blue moon if it is close to me  josephlei

I waited 3 months and many emails, as they do not have a live person to talk to when trying to collect payment, just trying to collect a print fee of $10!!!   mariabakies

Have not worked for them but reports are this company is run by the same person who ran Premier Signing Services in Ohio - historically low pay/no pay. Again, I've not worked for either company...just read a lot Linda http://www.columbiacountynotary.webs.com  LindaH

I have done three signing for Legacy. The first two were paid promptly, but the third is way past due and Miles Prange isn't answering emails. I sued his former company, Premier for four unpaid closings.Never received any payment. Bob Wells  rmwells@tds.net

I have also worked for this company in March have yet to be paid after numerous phone calls and emails. When you call you only receive a recorded message.[xx(] Carolyn Gleitz  cgg821

Did a signing for them in September 2016. Have not received payment and do not respond to email or VM. Stay away! Bruce L Ashman  blashman

Did a signing for them in February of this year (2017), it's now 5/31/17. Still not paid. Have entered their name and number in my phone with a note: DO NOT ANSWER. EGW  egw91145

This company has gone out of business owing thousands to unsuspecting Notaries. I am so sick of these ppl stealing from us. Anne McBride  amcbride

I contacted the mortgage company and I just recieved an e-mail from Legacy that says the check is in the mail and it is being paid by ipay solutions. I'll let you know. Anne McBride  amcbride

Good news Anne...hope they come through for you! Linda http://www.columbiacountynotary.webs.com  LindaH

Just read on another forum that they are oob. Fair warning. If you don't value your time and experience, nobody else will.  Lee-AR

[:(!][?][8]I keep getting e mail from this company. Their fees are way too LOW! They only pay $40 for loan mods. That includes your valuable time, printing and faxing back the docs. I don't know why ANY notary would accept their jobs! I finally asked them to remove me from their e mail list.   catmama47

No issues with Signingtrac. One invoice per month and payment via Echeck is almost instant! Rhonda Hall, CNSA  Torudi59

You are in business for yourself, YOU SET YOUR OWN FEES. Learn to say NO. If not, you may as well go work for some company somewhere where they pay you a hourly wage or salary.  Dannotary

Have not been paid by this company in nearly three months. Fuzzy1955  Fuzzy1955

We accepted an assignment with Signingtrac for an agreed fee of $150.00 because the signing address was a 90 mile drive. Today we receive a/an e-check for $80.00. We have left messages with 'billing', and will keep you updated as to how this plays out. I am curious--why has it been so long since any one has had any input about this company? Or, maybe we are not looking in the right place?  ollie

I received a notice from my bank dated 2/03/17 That SigningTracs payment had been returned for closed/frozen account. Left a message with billing today. If i do not hear back will be calling the lenders. [:(!] Wendy Mills John, the payroll guy responded to an email. Their account was compromised and i received an e check in 1 day.  11268

I did a signing for them in April 2017, I reported the signing, as per orders, the following month, they changed their distribution of checks to the 15th of the month. Contacted John when check wasn't received, no replies from then on. I have emailed, called, faxed and did so to the mother company in California. No replies at all, I think we are screwed by them, another company doing this to their notaries.  lawarren55

Was doing Ok with them for a while , but recently, from April , all went silent, no payment, no replies to inquiries about payment, no breathing , live person answers any calls. Very disappointing. I'm not accepting any signings from them until the bills are paid. A. Chris Hohenfels  20681

I have two signings I have not been paid for. One in January, one in February. I have made repeated phone calls, never getting to speak to anyone. Also emails, but I get no response. Based on the other comments, looks like I may as well give up on this one.  Stephhur

7/7/17 Finally got paid, except for a small portion for a cancelled signing. At least not a total loss. A. Chris Hohenfels  20681

I have never had any problems with them. Jocelyn Waters  jocelynj

I have four outstanding invoices with Sky. One as far back as February. When I call, I just get VM.[:(]  suebehere

I've found that it's easier to reach Skye if you email their accounting department: [b]accounting@skyeclosings.com[/b Lately, I have had to reach out to them around the 30 day mark because I no longer receive payment notification from their bill.com operation unless I submit a payment inquiry. To their credit, Skye has always responded promptly and I usually receive my check within a week. I have become more selective when accepting closings from Skye and as a result of this I'm down to completing only a few a year for them.  IntegrityNotary

I've always been treated very fairly by Skye. Little hiccup with my payments recently, but they responded very quickly and now I've been told a check is coming. This is unusual as they usually pay very promptly but I had some invoices that were over 90 days old. None the less, they treat me very professionally before during and after a signing and they pay a very fair fee. Amy in New Orleans  31146

I have always had a good experience with Skye Closings. I told them in July when I accepted another closing from them that I was concerned because of negative comments on this and notaryrotary.com and they said they had gotten behind but were still getting everyone paid and were catching up again. I did a job for them on 7/17/14 and was paid 8/18/14 and also another closing on 7/29/14 and was paid on 8/28/14. They paid direct deposit and even sent an email and called saying money was on it's way. Sarah Fuquay  sfuquay

That's good to hear Sarah - I always had very good experiences with Skye and was disheartened to hear about their financial struggles. My first thought was "ugh, we lose even the good ones!!" So glad to hear they're rebounding.. Linda http://www.columbiacountynotary.webs.com http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell  LindaH

Did a closing for them in July 2015 and just got paid in late October. I've done a couple of signings for them over the past year and each time I've had to email accounting in order to get an invoice resolved. Although they do pay direct deposit, their fees are lower than average and you most likely won't get paid until 60-90days. LJ-CPA  LJCPA

I completed a signing for Skye back in February and am still fighting for my pay. They tried to tell me that it was processed yesterday and sent to my bank through Bill.com. Not possible they don't have my account info. Now they are saying if I don't give this company my bank information I will NOT get paid. Whaaaaaaaat? Can't work for free that leaves the borrowers. Someone needs to stop this bullshit. We should not have to fight for what we earned. Tere needs to be a better system and giving them our bank information is definetely NOT the answer.  amcbride

I was paid! Anne McBride  amcbride

I always like working with Skye, but payments were getting later and later. Most recently, (Feb. & April)one took 45 days and the next, a few days later was nearly 3 mos. Interested in others recent experience. If you don't value your time and experience, nobody else will.  Lee-AR

eNotarizations are dangerous and a security issue. For informal documents perhaps it is fine. For Deeds and POA I have issues. On the other hand a digital signature has metrics and a ink and paper signature does not. Which is safer? Not sure. The technology is so new that it is still scary to many of us!   jbelmont
