I worked for them once in January 2008 and they paid upon funding. I received my payment in 7 days. Go for it! CopperheadVA  CopperheadVA

I recieved one job from Hunington Title it was for a refinance on August 12, 2008. I dowloaded all edocs went to home all documents were sent back on August 13, 2008. I have still not received pmt. One person called me to see if I had I told her no I have not she said she was sorry and that they would cut my check, however I still have not recieved said pmt. I suppose I will have to call them back again. Sounds like everyone has had a positive from them. Sure hope they pay me Soon! Trina Holt Birmingham, Alabama 35022  dynamic1

I too are owed money from this "DEADBEAT". He emailed me several months back and told me that he was consulting with an attorney and when I asked the name of his attorney so that I could direct all my future correspondence to him, he told me that he had not actually retained the attorney and that he did not want a VENDOR to bother his attorney with silly questions and comments. I reminded Mr. Possen that I was not a vendor but I was a CREDITOR of his that needed to be paid. I was told that I would need to send him my invoice and that he would be going over the invoices that he received but that I would be paid. I asked the AG's office here in Wyoming to get involved. They did send a letter to the Title company, Phoenix Settlement and their attorney responded. I in turn asked for the front and back of the canceled check where they had supposely had paid The Closing Company, that they had stated to the AG and to myself on several different occasions that they had paid Matt on May 10, but instead of a copy of front and back of canceled check from the title company, I got a check in the amount that was owed for the signing in mid September and the check was dated May 9 and made out to me. Now whether they had held the check or not I do not know, I did have all intentions of suing The Closing Company, Matt Prossen and Phoenix Settlement Services for the sum of money that was owed. I have removed the signing amount owed from the invoice to The Closing Company but I am still owed late fees, collection fess and search fees for Matt Prossen. I have a couple of years before my time limitation will run out per state law, but until the time that I do file the lawsuit against Mr. Prossen and The Closing Company, my fees just keep right on adding up. I also sent a letter to the Secretary of State, Notary Division for Florida and explained to them that Mr. Prossen owed me money and that Mr. Dimond had been involved in the FRAUD and I asked that their creditals be pulled for any notary work that might be available to them in the State of Florida. I do not know if that was done or not, but at least I did put up a RED FLAG for the two of them. I about half way expect Matt Prossen to file bankruptcy, but time will tell. PTiemann   pktee

They get some of their leads from legal zoom. I've handled a couple of jobs for them and they pay promptly.  Rena

I did a signing for Notary Brothers in July,2008. I have yet to be paid and now they are out of business. Is there anything that I can do? Barbara   5817

This SS, again "USE TO" pay promptly, but has been having problems with paying this notary. I've received several voice mails indicating payment will be made "this Friday"--and that was more than 3 months ago for a reverse signing that took place in Jan 08. As of this posting, no payment received.   DChambers1123

I did two reverse mortgages for them eighteen months ago - took them 60 days to pay me then...never worked for them after that but I think it was because they wouldn't meet my fee.... Linda www.notarydepot.com/notary/lindah http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell   LindaH

I did a couple signing for them in 2007 and it took over 90 days for payment. This was after begging and pleading for my payment   msc5866

For those that are still owed money by Title Stream, I thought I'd spread the word. I, too, was owed substantial moneys by them - in this case, work 5 months ago. Like many of you, my contact with them (voicemail, e-mail, and fax) went from friendly to more aggressive, to having to make legal threats. Matt Blackmon, the title agent, would occasionally respond with an apologetic acknowledgement. However, Jan DeLisle, the accounting contact responsible for sending our checks, never once acknowledged my dozens of attempts to reach her regarding payment. In any case, I spoke to a higher-up from the lending institution tied the last loan I closed for them and was informed by him that Title Stream actually went out of business as of a month or so ago. They may still be processing orders that were submitting prior to their folding, which might explain how some their Notaries are still getting paid. While some legal action may still be possible, this lender representative (whose word I trust, as he is reputable individual in the Virginia real estate and mortgage banking industries) assured me that they have definitely folded, and that his company was given notice of this back when they still had professional ties with Title Stream. In any case, should work be offered from them at this stage, please do not accept. It's pretty certain at this point that payment will not be seen...  stephenryan

I did a closing for them on Aug 20, 2008 and they paid me when it funded. I got paid well and fast AND the check did NOT bounce. I would work for them again in a hearbeat. gjk  gjk-fl

Just got a email from a guy named Ralph Little(Metro National Financial) asking me to take 10% on all outstanding invoices against Titlestream. I told him Monte Sturgeon(owner of Titlestream)took the money he owed us and spent it. His co. is trying to take Titlestream over and can't do it unless all outstading invoice holders agree to 10%. I EMAILED HIM BACK AND TOLD HIM TO FORGET IT.   rennie

Got the same email message from Metro Title. Offered to pay 10% of Title Stream's invoice. I would not accept. Told them this was an insult. Personally, I would rather have nothing than to not even be paid for the cost of my gas.  youngster

i did a closing for them on august 18th, was paid $125.00 but i billed for $200.00 due to a re-draw. i've emailed and called several times but no one will talk to me. i sent an email directly to the lender today. will let you know what happens!!   eefairy303

Ok I also have a claim against Lender's First Choice out of Simi Valley, CA but I am just a little confused with your post. I have gone to the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Colorado and downloaded the Proof of Claim form. Where I am confused is your reference to Mercury Company, Inc, Case #08-23125 Tax ID 84-1008321. Are you saying that this is what should be reference specifically on the form instead of Lender's First Choice? and if so, why is that? We would appreciate a rapid reply so we can get our claim form filed by 10/10/08.  eusteffy69

Mercury is the parent company that owns Lenders Choice Title, along with several other companies.I filed my claim using that information as well.Hope this helps.   jschultz

I want to apologize to Diane Marks who was a employee of Millenium Title, Inc. I vented my anger at her for something she did not have control over. I have personally apologized to her and now I wish to publicly say the same. I know times are tough for all of us, and to blame her for April's mistake, was just wrong. I realize she is probably owed more money than I'm wining about and it was not her company. PJ April Valentine (owner) called me she will pay me. I'll let you guys know if she keeps her word....   Phyllis John

Closing Quest, LLC provides a lavish web site to lure you in as a respectable signing company. But once again they string a notary out 3-6 months promising to pay. I had the unfortunate experience of accepting a job from them in March, and have yet to get paid. Emailing is useless, it seems to me that they have and auto reply system setup. I sent a blank email to them and got the response that they rec'd my invoice and that my payment in process, and they apologized that they were behind. I started emailing their other managers who simply did not respond. They are simply going take advantage of every notary that they get a hold of, before they notary becomes aware of their reputation. Lesson learned is that you research the companies that you accept jobs from prior to your signing appointment. If you find that they have a less than professional operation, cancel the job and have them actually work to earn a living verses poaching off us notaries and our services.   jarrsj

[:(!]This is another NO NO to work for. We have to be so careful of new companies calling us for assignments. I will not ever take another from this company and will check forums quickly when getting calls from new companies. I will call and cancel if the reputation is poor. It is almost better to say no than chase our money for months. I have called and e-mailed accounting and even called the lender directly with no results. Seacoast Title from Ft Lauderdale, FL will not return calls also. The lender representative will not return calls either. Beryl  7737

In addition, make sure to notify the title company involved with the signings who contracts with CQ to begin with - enough complaints to title that their SS is not paying the notaries will have title looking elsewhere for someone to do their work.

Good News, as a result of my erroneous posting that Closing Quest was closed, I was contacted by Rikki's replacement - Addison Osprey. Rikki is no longer with the company and Addison is now responsible for payment to Notaries. She is just learning the job but hopefully we won't have to write Closing Quest off. Hopefully they will get everyone paid and get back on the plus side. It'll take a little doing and with the market like it is, it will be tough but hopefully doable. Notary in Elko NV  redlemon

This company is pure garbage. I have turned them over to collections, and filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau,and sent a complete case file to the Attorney General for the State of Tennessee complete with documentation. They refuse to pay for the work that I performed for them on four separate occasions. Right now it is the principle of the matter, not so much the money. They keep bilking notaries out of their rightful payment, and yet they pay a few small bills here and there to keep the uproar down and get people to say "nice" things about them....Oh, they paid me but it was slow, bla bla bla. Anyone that works for these criminals should have his/her head examined.   rwedertz

We were finally paid by Infinite Notary but will not work for them again. We had left multiple phone messages, faxed requests and emails without any response from Infinite Notary.  Suzannem

I just got a call from Infinite Notary and took a job for this Friday. Then got on this forum to see if I could find anything on them and what do you know! I called them back and got their voice mail and left a message that I would only do the closing if they paid me in advance via Paypal. That I had done some research and showed they don't pay or slow pay. I wanted them to know their name is out there in a negative way. Needless to say, I haven't heard back from them. I am warning my fellow NSA's in this area also. We do that for each other here in Tallahassee. Thanks everyone for the heads up and taking the time to warn others. Watch out for Federated Land Title too in Cincinnati, Ohio. They aren't responding to me either. Also, 1 Touch Closings in Boca Raton. I'm going after them now with Prepaid Legal. gjk  gjk-fl

I have been waiting to be paid from Infinite Notary for closings that I did in November & December 2006. The Title Company that processed the loans was First Title and Escrow located in Rockville, MD. I spoke with Gail with Infinite Notary who told me that she was waiting to be paid from the Title Co., however that was over 1 year ago. I have not reported Infinite Notary to the BBB yet, but I intend to do so, especially after seeing so many others have problems.  esmith

I did one for Infinite Notaries in 2006 and was paid June 2007  007

Hi gjk, I know you previously received a delay in payment with our company due to the co-owner at that time not handling his department well. I know that Tommy corrected the situation for you when it was brought to his attention (as noted in another forum). Your acceptance of a signing on Friday has been greatly appreciated considering your past experience. Please feel free to post upon your payment's receipt. I am working diligently to restore the reputation of our company. Best Regards, Vikki Ruiz 1 Touch Closings, Corp 954.481.8957 Office  Vikki1Touch

I got a call to complete a purchase signing for them in Oct. Any updated information on their pay practices would be helpful. Thanks!  kimcole132

From what I've read elsewhere the news isn't real good - I just did a signing for them Friday before checking them out - she doesn't pay until title pays her, which she claims is about 45-60 days - I got her to agree, in writing, to cut me a check within 30 days whether she's been paid or not. I'm not feeling real good about it but the deed is done and we shall see. Example: Someone else just got a check Saturday for a signing in 1/07....yes, that's January 2007. Someone else is owed an invoice from January, 2006. Other than the above, I can't give you recommendations about the company as I'm in "wait and see" mode.... Good Luck!!  LindaH

I received a call this morning from the lender/title (not sure) saying I was scheduled to do the purchase closing on Monday (which I was) but that Infinite Notaries has shut their doors and no longer in business. She ask if I was still gonna do the closing but she was not sure who would pay me so I said "no". I have emailed them but no reply as of yet.  kimcole132

Are you kidding me? Not another one.... Linda www.notarydepot.com/notary/lindah http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell   LindaH

Called the title company associated with the signing I did - Infinite Notaries closed their doors on 9/30/2008....AARRGGHH! Kim - when did Infinite Notaries schedule you for this? Curious if they were still booking signings after shutting down. Also, what do you mean title has no idea if you'll get paid? If it's a purchase you should get paid immediately at the table or immediately on disbursement by title....MHO Linda www.notarydepot.com/notary/lindah http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell   LindaH

My experience is from two years ago - so not recent. I did two jobs for them - one was a no-sign due to docs being drawn up incorrectly. Borrower discovered the errors at the appointment. They only pay $50 on a no-sign, without regard to how far you drive, the fact that you printed docs, and spent your time with the borrower. The other job went through fine. I received payment in 30 days. CopperheadVA   CopperheadVA

I have done 5 closings for this company so far. I have been paid for 4. The last one was just done last week. The first closing I ever did for them was on August 19th. Like I said, I have rec'd payment the very next week or so for every one I have done so far. They are a bit cheap on their pricing though but since they call me just about every week, I have done them at their rates.   mariabakies

Never a problem with this company - pay well and quickly - will take all they want to send my way... Did you fax in your completion report? That may be holding up your payment. Just a thought. Linda www.notarydepot.com/notary/lindah http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell   LindaH

I realize this posting is a few weeks old but I thought I would reply just in case this hasn't been resolved. Transcontinental Title has always paid on time unless something fell through the cracks. When that happens the team that you did the work for may not be the place to get the problem resolves (for whatever reason). However, if you contact Andrea Somers the Vendor Manager she should be able to get it resolved for you.

"the title company wants me to give them permission to correct any errors on my notary section." My Response: Not on your life.

I have never seen this request before. Me either...care to share the name of this company?? Good Luck!!   LindaH

Sounds like they want everything needed to commit forgery, including the ability to 'prove' it isn't--a copy of your journal page--if it ever got questioned. And you'd never know--until your E&O pays off or you lose your commission--or worse.   Lee-AR

Fidelity Title; I have already decided not to give them the requested information, I dont feel comfortable at all with the request.

What!! I can't believe it. This is outrageous. Did you question them about this and ask them why they need such information in the first place.??? And permission to correct your notarial section and a copy of your stamp?? These are really BIG no no's. It is illegal and they probably know it. Carmen   crtowles

I totally agree with Carmen's great advice. Years ago, I had a very wise Signing Agent once tell me, What would you tell the judge? I feel you made the only decision in this case. I never, never give anyone authorization to correct my notarial certificate. I always remember when I complete it, I am doing so under penalty of prejury. Kathy Fletcher   azdocsign

Wow! I have worked with FASS for years and they have always met my fees and they pay quickly. Their "signing reminder" calls can be a little annoying tho!   esnotary

That's the total opposite of my experience with FASS. I work for them regularly and have found them to be an excellent company. They always pay my fees and if they ask me to go any distance they usually offer to pay an extra $25. They pay quickly as well. My one complaint (other than the annoying reminder calls) is that if the borrower doesn't sign they only pay you $35, even if you printed a 150 page packet.   gobeavs

I use to work for them every month and had no problems until a few months ago and they consistenltly lowered my agreed upon fee to $60 on their invoice and if that wasn't bad enough said I never updated their system (which I did) their requirements of exactly 60 minutes from the start of the appointment time is a little unreasonable when some people especially older ones may take a few more minutes to sign. When I disputed the amount of the money and the complaints their response consistantly was i did not comply with instructions. very annoying and unfortunatly i asked them to remove me from their list, I really dont need the extra stress!

I've never heard of them but I did go check out their website ... interesting ... part of it is written in another language... I created an account and when I went to update my info, they want my DL number, my auto insurance carrier and amount of coverage...a little over the top for a company whose website really needs proofreading ("witch" for "which")..needless to say I left that info blank - they don't need that.

Hi I have worked for Closing Masters more than once and have not had any trouble with them. I was payed in a timely fashion. HoweverI am still awaiting pmt. for closing on 9/24/08 but do not anticipate any problems. I would work for them again.  dynamic1

I read elsewhere that they told a signing agent they were paying at the 120 day mark - so the good new Jeanne, is you're there!! Maybe your check will be in soon!! [:D] Personally, I won't work for them ever again - took them 60 days to pay be for 2 RESPA signings and yes, I heard all the excuses, including the one that my invoice didn't make it into the system - despite my having two printed confirmations that it was received!

They owe me for two signings in April and Rikki is getting ruder and less cooperative as the months drag on. I have filed a FTC complaint against them.

For them and any other slow paying company, I would accept any job from them in the future. I'd just send the closing docs BACK TO THEM VIA FEDEX C.O.D. certified check only for the TOTAL AMOUNT I WAS OWED. Not to the Title company or anywhere else.. but TO THE SCUM SUCKING SS that was trying to stiff me.   ksnotary

I too have been waiting for payment from Closing Quest. I have 3 outstanding signings dating back to February. Rikki sends me the same tired emails. So I contacted a collection agency who has contacted them 3 times and still no response. I have requested that the collection agency report them to all 3 credit bureaus and told Rikki I was doing this. Of course I get an email back saying she was going to see what she could do about payment. That was on August 1st. Now I'm going to contact the state's Attorney General and see what can be done. I will never work for them again. Deborah Purnell  islandnotary

I have been waiting for payment from Closing Quest for 97 days which now I realize isn't that long compared to some of you. I have been in contact with Rikki all along and she sends me the same email over and over until recently now she is becoming rude and short with me as I'm sure she is getting tired of my weekly emails. What can I do to get their attention and get paid? I've called all the numbers I have and have emailed everyone I can...it seems as though the accounting manager has no supervisor. Who is in charge here?  Jill

This is a NO NO Black List Company!! I have been waiting since April for 4 closing I'v done for them. Again they send the same emails over and over again. I'v called and spoke to the account rep and still no checks. They even called me and asked me to do a closing for them again, I told them H*** NO!!!. I told them until they pay my money I will not be working with them again. [V]. Valencia Aubas  vaubas

Received letter from consumer affairs office in Nashville concerning Closing Quest, LLC. Letter states that the office has no jurisdiction in this matter and that they are unable to assist in matter of no payment. Next step it appears will be collection through court or file claim with bankruptcy court if it comes to that.   pktee

I just had a conversation with a Retired Title company employee about the Mobile Notary payments problem. She suggested,if they were also a Title Company, file with the State Insurance Commissioner as unprofessional business pratices. She said this was always a fear if not an uneasy, time consuming coastly situation having to respond to the complaint. Enough complaints of this nature could get the Title Insurance license suspended and NO MORE BUSSINESS until the complaints are satisfied! Or, at least an investigation into the nature of why the complaint.  cambeth

Ron, How long have you been trying to reach her about this?

When it went more than 40 days past due, last week, is when I sent the first e-mail (no reponse). Two days later I sent another e-mail directly to Lisa and I still haven't received a response. I'm sure there must be something wrong because I've never had problems with SoCal and especially Lisa with all the the previous signings I've done for them. I'm going to try contacting them one more time before I jump to any conclusions.  RonAnotary

GOOD NEWS! SoCal Signings is still in business and Lisa Bittner is the greatest! There was a delay in my invoice getting to accounting therefore the reason for the delayed payment. Lisa, with an apology, said my check was going out in the mail today.  RonAnotary

I am concerned about Pacific Documents. Jeremy you mentioned Pacific Docs and I am not sure, if they are one and the same company. Paul Gambs, I believe is the owner. I did a job for him on April 11 and May 5 and still have not been paid. I did a job on April 4, which I was sent a check for in July and had it bounce. He resent the check two weeks later. In the good old days he paid in about six weeks but this is ridiculous. I have called him every week since May 15 and he tells me the check will be sent or the check is in the mail. I would advise notaries not to work for him. Sooner or later he will get you. You will do two or three jobs in a months time and won't get paid. Don't waste your time and gas on this guy. Donna DiFrancesco, Palm Springs, CA.   DVdifran

I completed one signing for SoCal last April. They were great to work for and paid in two weeks.   HeatherD

I am sure what is happening with SoCal signings I did a closing for tem on August 14th and a 2nd one on August 22 it is now October 1st and still no payment. I have called Lisa many many times on this and she said she sent payment out weeks ago but I do not have it. So today she said she was going to next day my payment, I just sent her an Email requesting the tracking #. I will update if and when payment comes. I hate having to be a bill collector WHY CANT THEY JUST PAY WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL OR CALL AND TELL US IT WILL BE LATE????

I just got a blast e-mail from her for a signing this weekend...here's how this "professional" hires notaries: "I Have loan docs and this needs to be signed over the weekend.. Any takers" She sent it to about 10 of us in the area... Linda www.notarydepot.com/notary/lindah http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell   LindaH

Just be sure and get paid 1st or you too will become a bill collector... Edward Fadden Orlando Notary Covering all of Central Florida, Orange-Lake-Seminole-Osceola and Volusia Counties. 407-619-7777 orlandonotary@embarqmail.com  a1etron

You don't really believe I took it, do you? I replied very politely to her e-mail... "I can't help you - your history of low pay/slow pay (and sometimes no pay) precludes me from working for you." Oh...did I mention she sent it to 10 people in the area? And did I mention I "replied to all"!!!...<G> Linda www.notarydepot.com/notary/lindah http://www.notary.net/websites/LindaHubbell   LindaH

I worked for Cogent once in February - payment received in 24 days. Since then they have called me a couple of times for jobs, which I accepted. They call a couple of days in advance of the appointments. But they often do not send the confirmation until they are ready to send the docs, so sometimes there ends up being confusion about the actual date and time of the appointment or about the fee. On one, the date they told me on the phone was not the actual date of the appointment, and since they did not send a confirmation this was not discovered until the last minute and I ended up being booked when the actual appointment was. The other time, they sent the confirmation without a fee listed. I replied with my fee to confirm, and then the appointment "was canceled". I would like to see a bit more organization on their end, but they did pay for the one job I did for them. CopperheadVA  CopperheadVA

I have done several jobs for Cogent. I am in Maryland. Yes, they sometimes are a bit unorganized. However, I have found them easy to work with. Docs are simple and are a reasonable sized pkg. There fees are reasonable and they usually pay within 3 weeks after the job. Wish I had more clients like them.  youngster

I absolutely love these guys. I get a ton of business and I get paid every two to three weeks. They are VERY organized in my opinion and one the the nicest companies I have ever delt with.  beth

We have a short history with Cogent,but they are a fabulous client. Their manager,Carmella Jones in particular has been stellar to deal with  jpscollan

I did two clients first week in February and Carmella Jones was great to work with. Was paid in about three weeks. Gene, Nashville, TN   flighinhigh
