Good for you to charge what you do. I wouldn't go 45 miles either for $65.00. Were they Edocs involved? It's unbelievable that a notary would have the BO sign that way. --Previous Message-- : For sure was not done from a notary : that can charge $150. Two weeks ago I : drove 45 miles to let a borrower : resign his loan docs because the : previeus notary let the co-borrower : sign with another name other then the : name printed on the loan document. : Guess what? she charge $65, $15 more : for the mileage. I charge them $200. : : --Previous Message-- : DD, apology accepted, but just so : we're : clear...what I took offense to was : that you automatically assumed that : the "screw up" you referred : to in your first posting, was done by : a "$40 notary". : Over and out--I'm done. : : --Previous Message-- : TC, chill out. I'm sorry if I offended : you. Contrary to what you may think, : I'm trying to help newbies. I was one : myself once, although i never accepted : any fee less than $50.00, and then : that was only for a short while. : First off, a newbie can get more : money if they just hold out and : bargain instead of caving in. When a : notary excepts a lowball figure, like : 40 or 45, they are helping to set a : standard and that hurts other newbies : as well. Because some SS jump on the : bandwagon and assume that all newbies : will accept $40.00 - $45.00. This : hurts everyone, don't you see? It : even hurts the borrower, believe it or : not. : Second, to suggest that I blame a : $40.00 notary for the "drop in : the BOOM" is absurd. And like Pan : said, it's a free country and you're : entitled to my opinion. : Have a good day. : --Previous Message-- : You guys just arenīt getting my : point!!! : Or are refusing to--I'm not sure. THIS : is my point: I'm not condoning the : acceptance of $40 fees, I DON'T accept : $40 fees, and I don't like it that the : SS are trying to low-ball us all the : time, either! What I AM : "ranting" about is the : continuous bashing and bad-mouthing of : those that do!, the assumption that : because they are newbies, they are : "screw ups", and blaming : them for the drop in the BOOM. : : --Previous Message-- : If you read these boards often enough, : then you would know that even those : that are just starting out (newbies) : can get $50 to $65 per signing. Taking : $40 fees is desperation and you would : be better off working at Wal-Mart. : : --Previous Message-- : Pan: Yes, I am angry--and I'm going to : tell you why: I am sick and tired to : death of these people (DD, et al) who : (I 'suspect') think they are the only : ones who have the right to work this : industry that apparently, they feel : they own, or at least built; they : don't want any one else to butt in on : their territory, and are SO afraid of : a little competition. I've seen : "$40 notary" bashing over : and over on this board, and how : supposedly they are 'ruining the : industry' and it's their fault the SS : are offering lower and lower fees. : Frankly, I think that is a bunch of : baloney! Let's face it...like ANY : booming business, it reached it's : pinnacle (nice for those of you who : got in on the BOOM), but the BOOM is : gone! Get used to it! and get off the : backs of the newbies (or 'greenies', : as I've seen them called on this : board), they have just as much right : as any one to give it a try. So I : repeat: Get off your high horse! : : : --Previous Message-- : tc, : : DD must have really struck a nerve to : get such a response as yours. : : Do you think all of your raging is : going to accomplish anything other : than letting off steam? : : Frankly, one needs a thick skin in : this business and it's obvious yours : isn't. : : But, hey, it's a free country and : you're entitled to my opinion. : : : : --Previous Message-- : So what...?.....now you have ESP? You : 'sensed' it was a SS, you 'suspect' it : was screw up by a $40 notary? Where : do get off being so high and mighty, : and know it all? Who are YOU, anyway? : It's the ones like you that make me : want to barf...you just think you're : so great, so "Mr./Mrs. Expert : getting paid $150-$200 per : closing". So WHAT? Did you start : out that way? Did you not Have to : start out low and build your way up? : Or, in reality, is it because when you : started, the industry was booming and : paying more? You have no RIGHT to : bad-mouth those notaries who are : trying to make a 'go' of it.....you : don't know (or should I say 'sense' or : 'suspect'?) what their situation is, : or how badly they need the job. Hey, : at least they're not settling for : Welfare.......they're trying to make : an honest living. An HOW DARE you : assume, or 'suspect', that because : there was a screw up somewhere, it was : done by a "$40 notary". : There are CERTAINLY (and I know for a : fact--not 'sense' or 'suspect') that : there are some high-rolling, "I : make the big bucks" jerks out : there who also screw up!!!! So get off : your high horse, and let these : notaries do their job. You don't own : the industry. : : --Previous Message-- : I think it was a signing service that : just called me. She didn't say she is : a SS, but I suspect she is (you can : almost sense a SS). I think one of : their $40.00 notaries screwed up. She : said UPS has a package with a few : pages in it. She needs me to pick it : up and take it to the borrower for her : to sign. I said "sure, what's : the scoop" She sounded all angry : and flustered. She said she would call : me right back. When she called me : back, she said the borrower said she : wouldn't sign. I suspect the borrower : is probably angry & went with : another company. Well, I guess the : low-ball Signing Services are paying : the price. They should know you just : get what you pay for. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
