In October I agreed to complete a re-finance loan signing with a borrower in Santa Barbara, California on behalf of Elite's client, Cleartract Title Agency in Syracuse, New York. Signing was performed in a workmanlike manner free of any glitches, and delivered on time for successful closing, for which I was to be paid $75.
I've invoiced Elite Signing Service, phoned, left messages for Rich, emailed Rich, and in three months, not one response. I was always told he was out of the office, that he would call me back, no the AP person is out to lunch, call back. I would call back, no answer or the AP person went home already.in short, I consistently received the royal run around.
Now I see on several of the professional signing agent boards I subscribe to that Rich is representing himself as the ESS company trying to get notaries to accept assignments from him, and we're all hip to his scheme. No one will work for him unless he pays all delinquent fees up front as well as the current signing accommodation.
After numerous phone calls and faxes, I have not been paid by Elite, although Elite has been paid by the lenders' Title (Cleartract Title) through closing disbursements within five days of the official signing/closing with the borrowers.
