Kandy...
How long since the signing? Did your loans fund? Did the company agree to pay you in the event of a no-sign or rescission?
If answers are long enough, yes and yes, may I suggest contacting the title company involved in the closings and see if they can light a fire under the signing company. Get the TC fax info and fax them a copy of all correspondence to the SS and let them know you're being ignored....
Signing services hate it when their TC's find out they're not paying the notaries - the TC's are their bread and butter.

I have an outstanding invoice for $400 from a signing company.
I email, fax and call, with no response. A couple of weeks ago I sent them a certifed letter with a copy of the emails and confirmations of the closings, and still haven't heard a thing, nor have I received payment.

Thanks for the collection form letter Carmen. I used it today on REO Land Services, Inc., out of Pittsburgh, Pa. I did a closing for them Oct. 4 and still haven't been paid. They sometimes answer my emails, but not always and haven't lately at all. The order was from Jack Pinsker, so everyone beware. I faxed the letter over to them today and my invoice. I also notified my attorney and they are going to do a letter too. Hopefully, I'll get paid.

Carmen:
Thank you!
If the lender ordered my service, he claims I must go after the borrower for payment. The borrower claims since he didn't order the service he isn't responsible for payment. The loan was canceled at the table due to higher costs that weren't disclosed to the borrower in the Good Faith Estimate.
Who should pay? (I work with other lenders who pay me for non funded signings).
I'm sure I have company with this question.
Thank you for all your help.

Prepare a strong collection letter to them.
See example below.
Dear So and So.
(Here I state a brief recap of the previous communications that were sent and the result of that communication). I therefore must remind you of the following:
I am a sworn public official from the State of (whatever state). When a fraud is perpetrated in the course of my official duties, I feel obligated to take the following action (IN THIS ORDER):
a. Notify the Attorney General of xxxxxx of the details and circumstances of the occurrence.
b. Notify the xxxxxx Secretary of State to look into the matter of whether the Lender/Title Company should maintain their license to do business in the state.
c. Notify other notary publics of the details of non-payment.
d. Contact the Lender/Title Company
e. Register the details of the occurrence with the BBB.
The above actions as outlined above will commence on MONTH, DAY, 2007 if our office does not receive payment before that date. Please send payment to:
And then I entered my mailing address. The date I used was FIVE DAYS from the date of the email/letter I sent. I sent this by certified mail as well as to email and fax it over every day so as to annoy them. Also..cc: an attorney at the bottom of the letter. If you don't have one just find one out of the phone book. :)
Hope this works as well for you as it did for me.
Good Luck!!
Carmen

Hello Fellow Notaries:
I would greatly appreciate your help. I have two outstanding invoices. The one for $310 is over 3 months old from the initial signing (multiple signings, as the first lender went out of business). I have communicated numerous times (VM, e-mail, fax and mail) over the past 3 months with no payment received. The client was a good one, as I've done numerous signings for him in the past.
The other one is $75 for travel and printing, as the loan was canceled at the table. It's over 2 months old. After numerous calls to the lender, they claim it's illegal to pay notaries.
Do you know of a good collection agency or any other strategies I can use?
Thank you!
Regards,
Cathy Wong

I have One signing company that filed bankruptcy this year and left me without being paid for $635. I have another singing company that owes me $200 and the Title company will not use them any more. This singing company won't return my calls. I ahve another title company that bounced one check to me, fixed that and then won't pay me for another signing I did for them to the tune of $175.
What do I do to get paid???!!!
