Picture this. I get a signing order for:

John and Jane Doe
1 Anywhere Place
Derry, New Hampshire

I travel to the above signing. Upon arrival, I knocked at what I thought was the door of the borrowers. Turns out that I was at:

John and Jane Doe
1 Anwhere Place
Chester, New Hampshire (across the street)

Now Derry and Chester are neighboring towns. Easy mistake to make, right? Unfortunately for the borrowers, enhanced 911 had not quite made it to their location (hick town, NH). The town line sign was between both streets.

While speaking with the actual people who owned the property in my paperwork, it turned out that the neighbor in Derry was attempting to take out a HELOC (home equity line of credit) on their home. I was told by the owners that these people also ordered heating fuel at their expense. They also would steal their mail. (I am guessing that is how they got the information they needed to succesfully secure a loan against the actual owners.

Wonder what would they would have provided for identification had I showed up at the actual address in my confirmation. I wonder also what kind of safety issues I would have encountered.
