I also did a job for Dynamic. I did it on 04/22/09. I also had to go back a few times as Dynamic didn't send the right papers. I even gave Dynamic a discount. Today 07/06/2010, I still have not been paid. I hear they have done this to just about everyone. Why don't we just do a "Class Action Lawsuit" and sue them for more than they are worth, so they go out of business, and we split the money.

Tell me more how you put together the judgement against them and filed it. I will have to do it from our AZ courts. Thanks, Jenniferquote:

To Vicky: I know you read these forums...At least once a month there's another post about you cheating someone or two. How can you look in the mirror each day knowing you've cheated hard working Notaries around the country, that need the money you're stealing from them to live on?

How can you do this to people without any conscience? How do you live with yourself,you thief,how?
Whoa....sorry for the rant...Not to you Vicky, them, the people you lie and steal from every day that are reading this.Hopefully someday soon every one you call will either hang up on you, tell you no nicely,or tell you HELL NO, not so nicely. The word's getting out on you Vicky, and it's getting harder to find the uninformed to work for you,isn't it?
Someday soon all of the ripoffs like you that are ruining our profession will be well known, and no one will work for you. Your business, if that's what you call your criminal enterprise, will die and you can slither back under a rock.
You don't owe me much Vicky, but I do plan on collecting from you eventually. The court has added 10% to my judgment on a yearly basis.
I don't really need the money, Vicky, it's the principal of your theft against me.I'm confident that the Orange County Sheriff's dept will be paying you a visit someday for your criminal acts against me and the others around the country you've victimized. Count on it, Vicky.
I know you have to pay certain Notaries in areas where you've exhausted your supply of the trusting Notaries that you've cheated.I've seen posts from Notaries you actually paid, and requested that they post positive comments about your sleazeball company.This will not work forever Vicky. Your day is coming,and I relish the thought of you finally paying for your crimes, and I'm going to enjoy helping you go down,you scumbag,count on it.

I am in the same boat.. DFS owes me $120.00 from 4/26/2010. I was pleasently surprised when i was able to email back and forth w/ the accounting department for a little over an hour today!! WOW!! According to them "30 business days after the loan funds" is I will receive payment. Well I asked what they consider 30 business days and when did the loan fund "Count 4 days from the signing date and 30 business days not including weekends or holidays." So that would put my payment...4/26 4 days later would be 4/30 and 30 business days after that would be ...June 7th. Well, according to accounting my invoice will be paid in 2 weeks!! The 7th was Monday. What kinda math did they learn??

Well..I guess it is safe to say my checks (80.00 + 20.00...she missed that 20.00 on the first check  ) cleared my bank...however, I still truly believe this company should be OOB. I shouldn't of had to go the distance to collect my fee for services rendered. So if you are due monies by all means do what it takes, contact who you need too..we all work to hard!

I got paid by Vicki after calling her client. Interesting they said they have a good business relationship with her, I reminded them that we are competent unpaid signing agents who are the business relationship they are enjoying. I did have a sense that they had been called before. There is not an attorney who would take her case!!! Her reputation and the dollar amounts are small, she threatened the whole slander thing but it is empty. If you want her to stop or at least get paid call her clients |

MD Inusrance Administration was very receptive to my complaint...I spoke with the agent and emailed him the info. Plus I sent him the links to 123 notary so he can see that it is not just me but many others suffering from her GREED...

Vicky Martin..where do I start?...I never post on blogs because I try my best to work together with the companies that owe me for a solution...but Vicky...well she is doesn't want that, she prefers to be a THEFT and a LIAR...and I believe what goes around comes around, so watch out Vicky Martin your day will come and when it does...hope you can deal!
Anyway, I have been trying since 8/09 to collect from Dynamic and Vicky Martin,only to be completely ignore until I contact the BBB and all the sudden she existed...
Dynamic Field Solutions
1540 East Trenton Avenue, Suite 46
Orange, CA 92867
Website:
Phone: (714) 262-7931
And just so you all know I contact the title company, who I have worked directly for and they are VERY reputable...Accounting confirmed that Dynamic and Vicky Martin was paid in full for the closing I completed on 8/25/09. See my conversation with title
Hello Mary,
Per our telephone conversation this morning, please see record from our Accounts Payable department below. The signing was paid to Dynamic Field Solutions for $175. The payment of $175 was included in a bulk check (total of $2,885) paid to Dynamic on September 15, 2009 which was cashed by Dynamic on September 23, 2009. I attached a copy of this check. The information given by Dynamic to you that you were not paid because we did not pay Dynamic has no basis.
At this point, I suggest you send an email to the President of Dynamic, Nick Murch and forward a copy of this record and cleared check. Here is Nick’s email address: nickm@godfs.com I am sorry that you are going thru this trouble to collect your payment. I hope your efforts yield positive results.
Thank you for your help with this closings. If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know.
So...I send the proof to Nick @ Dynamic/Vicky Martin incepted his email...she definitely sketch!
Nick as you can see below..you were paid for the closing...Title did not stiff you...time to PAY UP...and this is the response I received.
He was a consultant with the company and was never the president.
Title neglected to mention the $5k they owe us dating back to files in 2008 and 2009.
Thank you,
Vicky Martin

So I responded;
You guys totally have a BAD rap on notary 123...short pays ...no pays...maybe I should post.(cut and paste).that Title actually paid you but your just a selfish bitch and use notaries to fill your bank account...attorney general...md insurance administration...mmm whom should I call first...? Overnight my 100.00 by EOB today...if I don't have my 100.00 first thing Monday morning (that mean priority overnight) I start writing and dialing...and don't worry I'll lets the other on 123 know that your so call company is fraudulent!Have a WONDERFUL Day!
Vicky responded;You use that kind of language and God in the same email, are you conflicted?
Do you have any idea how many notaries that we have paid in the last 2 years alone that we haven’t received one dime in compensation from the clients. Notaries only know the side that gets posted, they don’t hear both sides.
Mary, send me a PayPal invoice so I don’t have to hear from you again.
Thank you,
Vicky Martin
I responded;
I dont do pay pal....just send my money
Vicky's response; Send me your address…
and I did forward her my address and if her system was setup correctly, she should of already had all that available to her.
Please forward me the tracking number for my check.
Wouldn't want to write anything that can't be removed from a forum...
BTW...God was little to busy to have to deal with collections...so I told him I could handle this one on my own.
Vicky responded;
It won’t be overnighted. It is being processed online through our bank. Delivery date shows 5/6 per banks estimate.
So I chilled..to the 11th of May and still NO MONEY..imagine that..VICKY MARTIN/DYNAMIC LIED yet AGAIN!
My email to her;
So it is now the 11th...WHERE IS MY MONEY?
Vicky's response;
It shows it was delivered
Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
I told her not to me...she respond with my address and once again refuses to acknowledge my request for payment.
But that ok..cuz 1st thing Monday morning, I will be making a call to the Attorney General in her state and the MD Insurance Administration and the FBI...cuz she is just a THEFT...Hope your smiling now Vicky cuz your party is about to be crashed...!
Oh and can anyone verify id she was part of Cogent

| Deadbeat companies stay in business because notaries will foolishly work with them in spite of negative reviews about their pay & track record. The Notary believes it's other people who have to chase after their pay, not them. And like you, Adele, they take the jobs anyway and then get on the forums complaining and warning others of the same red flags they failed to heed. |

How do they stay in business? After faxes, emails and finally threats, I was paid and shorted %5.00. Find out who hires these dead beats and let them know how notaries are treated. When I said I would contact her client if not paid, she said that it was illegal for me to do that. Is that true?

It is very difficult to have a "closed" forum and allow for free memberships. Being the webmaster and partner for the Signing Registry, as well as having been, and in some cases still are, everything from Sysop to Forum Administrators for many different organizations, I know first hand the problems associated with an open board. The only truly closed board that I am aware of is the Signing Registry's board. Only signing agent members, who pay an annual dues, are allowed to view and post there. While that does allow for a more freely exchange of comments among signing agents, there are drawbacks as well.

After commenting here at 123notary on the abuse and harrassment of Vicky Martin Dynamic Field Solutions she had the audacity to send me this:
"You are a pathological liar…. Unbelievable how despicable you are with your half truths and myopic b.s. – I have already posted your name on blog sites as a notary to avoid due to your instability."

To add to this numerous list of comments for DYNAMIC FIELD SOLUTIONS...DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!! Vicky Martin, Account Manager - She is a scatter-brain. After 29 emails and numerous phone calls and waiting 2 months for pay, I found they electronically wired a payment to my bank account. How could that be when I never set up an electronic pay schedule or given them my bank account or name of bank?
It is possible and it did happen that DFS was able to deposit my fee into my account. However, it was an account that had been closed! The bank then found another account that had been opened that I never use!!! I was unaware of this deposit and I felt that they were trying to scam me after 29 emails. I called everyone I could to notify them that I had not been paid. DFS was livid and sent me the same blurb about contacting the lender, etc.
Finally, I was so angry, I told them I was going to contact the FBI and I DID CONTACT THE FBI. (This was all before I found out about the money being deposited in my unused bank account.)
After I told her that I contacted the FBI for CYBER CRIME, Vicky said she would send me a check. She did send me a check (I cashed it immediately)and simultaneously I found the deposit. I was ready to send DFS my personal check -- wrote it out and had the stamp on the envelope when I happened to see a $85 RETURNED FEE in the bank I usually use. When I investigated, I found that dear 'ol Vicky STOPPED PAYMENT on her check!!! She couldn't trust me to send her a check!!!
DO NOT TRUST THESE SCAMMERS!!!! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME DOING BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE AN INSULT TO HUMANITY!!!
BTW after finding the deposit, she only wanted me to retract any comments I had made against Dyname Field Solutions; sure, Vicky, whatever you wish. |

I don't know of too many title companies that even have PayPal accounts, much less are willing to pay "up front" through PayPal or by check.
Having said that, even if a payment is made to your PayPal account, it is very easy to reverse that payment so you end up with nothing. At least with a check that bounces, you may have some legal standing to collect.
If you want to change the way we do business, only accept equitable fee offers and only from reliable and trustworthy customers. Many NSA's have ceased doing business with many signing services because of the hassle of getting paid and the extremely low fees. (It must be noted that there are indeed some very reputable signing services out there. They are well known in the NSA circles and live up to their agreements.)

Folks...why go through the hassle of not getting paid for your services.
Open a personal PayPal account and get your money up front with a credit or debit card from the company that wants to hire you.
Pay Pal only charges five-percent of the money you collect and that can be made up in you pricing or run the risk of not getting paid and chasing your dollars as quite a few are doing since 2009. Let's change the way we do business and force the dead beats to pay up front! |

Yeah, they get really petty with their e-mails when you call them on their poor payment reputation. And yes they always have to have the last word!

DFS called me last night on a two part signing wanting me to travel to two different towns. I turned them down and sent a heads-up warning through NR. Received a response from them this morning calling me a bitter person and a crappy notary. When I told them I would not respond to their garbage emails anymore their response was that I would not respond because I was pointless.
They can't call me what they are which I will let any of your that have been stiffed by them fill in.

| I just received another email from this company requesting that I do a signing for them. The last time I received an email as well. I replied that I wouldn't work for them without upfront payment. I didn't hear back until the next day when I received another email as though they hadn't received mine. I told them no, based on their payment history. It seems that they keep trying anyway. |

| Thought you all might be interested in knowing that Title companies are catching on to this SS. I have been in contact with LSI over my short payment from Dynamic and have found out that they are no longer doing business with them because of so many complaints. Consequently, I don't believe their e-mail to Dynamic requesting that they pay me will do any good, but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that their reputation is catching up with them. |

<< NEED HELP ARGUING WITH DFS. I did a signing for DFS on 7-10-09, Today is 10-07-09. I have not received payment and the accounting department (Vicky) states that "We are working with title and hope to have it resolved soon" >>
Arguing with Dynamic is getting you nowhere. Their payment reputation speaks volumes. Either go ahead and call the title company for assistance (be sure to have file number and dates at your fingertips) or pursue collections. So what if you call TC? You aren't any worse off than you are now - NO $$$.
I have never tried this, never quite had to go this far, but some notaries will complete the small claims paperwork with a date one week in the future. They will name the SS, TC, and L/O on the paperwork (in fact, if it were me, I would investigate on-line who is the registered agent for the TC, and name that person on the paperwork). Then they fax it to all parties involved with a request for assistance so they are not forced to file this paperwork on XX date.
This usually initiates many frantic and angry phone calls to the SS asking what the <insert expletive> is going on, and to get this resolved PRONTO. Which then results in immediate payment to the notary.
However, I would caution anyone who uses this tactic that they had better be prepared to file the paperwork with the small claims court, otherwise it becomes an empty threat and will make it more difficult for other notaries to collect when using this tactic.

Sounds to me like a stall tactic - they're probably claiming they haven't been paid by title yet so can't pay you until they're paid..
If you checked and found that the loan YOU closed is the one that recorded, get a copy of that recorded doc and since it's now 90 days I'd be on the phone with title confirming that the loan funded and asking for a copy of the canceled check used to pay DFS - or fax a letter with a copy of your recorded security instrument to DFS *AND* the title company with a drop dead date for payment. If title doesn't cooperate with you (which they should if they have nothing to hide), contact the title company's state regulatory agency and see if they'll help you. I'd be hard pressed to believe title hasn't funded a loan in 90 days.
Just be prepared to follow through after your drop dead date and go forward with any collection efforts, be it a collection agency or small claims suit.
Title companies, escrow companies and lenders are Signing Services' bread and butter - the more that get wind that the SS is not paying their notaries the better the chance that they'll pull their work from that company, eventually forcing the deadbeats to close up shop.
BOY am I glad I read these boards and refused DFS work...I don't need this type of aggravation.
Good Luck!!

they must watch the forums... i have seen many responses saying "WOW, I JUST GOT A RESPONSE FROM THEM" After posting on the forum... and guess what... so did I. ...
Here is the latest excuse
"Stephanie,
We are waiting for an accounting issue to be cleared up with title that has nothing to do directly with this particular loan. Until it is remedied we have placed payments for services rendered to this title company on hold.
I am confident they will have this wrapped by next week.
Thank you,

Disclosure: Please be advised that calling the borrower, lender, title or escrow company in an attempt to collect a debt incurred through our service is illegal and could result in potential litigation. "
HERE IS MY RESPONSE:
I am sorry Vicky, but this response is not acceptable! “You have an issue with accounting that has nothing to do with this particular loan”. Then my payment for this particular loan shouldn’t be affected! I know the loan was closed and I know it was filed at the Calcasieu parish clerk of court as show in this image.
FYI, it just so happens that LSI contacted me today to do a closing for them tomorrow. I stated to them that I would not be able to do the closing as I had an outstanding bill for a closing I did for them. As they looked into it, they showed and I confirmed that this is the closing they contracted with you for. As the representative from LSI looked further into this, they stated that the closing went fine and everything was filed timely. So I got a copy from the clerk of court to confirm.
I told them I was having a very hard time getting paid from you and that in my research on 123Notary.com and NotaryRotary.com show that your company is known for its non-payments and short payments.
Again, your so-called “accounting issues” are not my issue. You need to issue my payment immediately, not “when it is remedied”. I contract with YOU not with LSI, so this statement . “Until it is remedied we have placed payments for services rendered to this title company on hold. ” does not apply to me! Services were rendered to YOU, not LSI!.
Additional legal, collection actions will be taken if payment has not been received in the next 5 business days. You can also send payment via paypal to ...

My question - if there is any title issue, can the mortgage still have been recorded? I checked the court house, it show it was recorded, so that means that it closed right? and what "title work" could be effecting my payment?
I am pretty confident that she is just blowing smoke... I got a copy of where it was recorded, but I want more info about "title work" for my next ugly email.
Any guidance or insight on the the "requirements" of having title work completed to record etc would be greatly appreciated.

| I did a signing for them in mid November and finally received a check from them on Jan 31. that was after telling them that I would contact the TC if I did not receive a check soon. They claimed that there was a problem at the bank and did not know that I had not received my check. I was less then a day away from contacting the TC when the check showed up. Maybe that is why I have not had any more calls to do work for them. |

Thanks to everyone’s input I was able to read and get feedback on Dynamics Field Solutions prior to conducting additional Signings for them. I have 3 outstanding invoices from June 29, 2009.
After numerous calls and emails trying to collect past due invoices from DFS and experience the same as others I took the advice to send a Nonpayment letter. I did get a very quick response from Account Manager Vicky stating they were not going to pay me for this signing and our last communication reply from her was quote:
"If you plan on calling any party to the transaction including, the lender, title escrow or borrower you will not only forfeit your remaining fees due to you but we will turn over this email chain to our attorneys to commence litigation for tortious interference of contract". Regardless when an apparent fraud is perpetrated in the course of my official duties as a sworn public official from the state of California I will follow up with my intent to collect and let it be known to others how scandalous DFS operates. |

| Thanks for all of your input. While it would be easy to just let this go, I am more determined than ever to continue the fight. Why should companies like this be allowed to continue to rip people off. My intent in contacting the TC would not necessarily even be to collect the debt from them, only to let them know what their SS is doing to people. |

<<<Still, one has to ask oneself - is this a fight worth fighting ? If you WERE to contact the Title company, I can bet that the title company will most likely tell you that your agreement with DFS does not obligate them to settle your differences. And, they'd be right.>>>
I'm not an attorney and have no background in law...but I do have an opinion and that opinion is I'm not sure the TC is out of the picture when it comes to who's finally responsible to pay the subcontractor. The TC processes and sends out and receives the loan package back - in other words, they own the docs, so I'm not entirely certain they have no obligation in this chain of events. The SS is the middleman......just like a general contractor is a middleman...they hire the subs (i.e. the plumber, electrician, landscaper) and if said GC runs off to Tahiti with all the money, guess who those subs are going after for their money (and will file mechanics liens) - who benefits from the subs work and is ultimately responsible for the subs being paid - the homeowner! Same analogy - TC = homeowner; SS = general contractor; Notary Public = subcontractor. The SS is getting paid to get OUR job done FOR the TC. Again, just my point of view. |

Ahhh...I just love it when people come together !! You know, Wikipedia is usually a pretty good "general" source of information, but remember that the contributions there are from "visitors" to the site, not from "experts" in the field.
That being said, what is found in Wikipedia is relatively correct on the surface, and I'm not what I'd consider an "expert", although I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express one time.
Simply put, a "tort" is a harm. A tort is damage, whether physical, emotional, financial, etc. Anything that can be measured as a loss can be a tort. Losing business with a company because of things others have said CAN be tortious, but those things said MUST be untrue (defamatory - either libelous or slanderous) and MUST be proven to be said (or "published").
Published is quite simple - posting comments on a message board forum, sending an email or other written/verbal communication to the contractor of the "offending" company, making public comments about the company, publishing a "Letter to the Editor" in the local paper; are all examples. Remember now, these cannot be actionable if the "published" information is TRUE. In other words, if one has PROOF that can be documented, such as in this case, (email, contract, voice recording, etc) that a task was agreed upon at a certain rate, and that the task was completed, yet not paid according to the agreement, then communicating that to a third party is not "tortious interference with a contract". It's communicating the TRUTH, pure and simple.
While it may be true that an independent contractor (a "business") has other avenues to resolve "business issues", many Title companies would want to know whether the signing companies they are doing business with are being honest and above-board. Threatening you with "tortious interference of a contractual relationship" is yelling fire in a crowded theater. It's a scare tactic.
Still, one has to ask oneself - is this a fight worth fighting ? If you WERE to contact the Title company, I can bet that the title company will most likely tell you that your agreement with DFS does not obligate them to settle your differences. And, they'd be right.
If it were me, I would continue collection efforts on a legal basis, try to cost them as much as you can having to at least READ your correspondence (manpower isn't cheap), try to cost them money in replying to your correspondence, and call them at every opportunity on their toll-free number. Pretty much Tit for Tat. Or, in the alternative - Let it go and move on. |

To add: When DFS says this <<<Contacting anyone involved in a transaction other the contracting party to force results of a dispute is called tortious interference of contract and could result in litigation against you.>>>
I would respond with: When the contracting party fails to pay the independent contractor what they AGREED to pay in the confirmation, that is called BREACH OF CONTRACT and could result in litigation against YOU. If I am forced to take this to court or defend myself against your false allegations, DFS will be responsible for my attorney's fees and court costs. As an independent contractor, I am not bound by your guidelines since I am not your employee. I set my fees, not you. If you did not want to pay more than $75 for this loan signing, you should NOT have agreed to pay my fee of $125. You should have sought another notary for the job. But you did agree to pay me $125 so now you are bound by the contract. I see from the feedback from other notaries public that you have shorted their checks too. It appears like your company has a pattern of agreeing to a fee above what you wish to pay just to get the job done and then sending the notary only what you want to pay them ($75). That's how it appears. I will make sure to share this information with the judge if this matter is taken to court. I will not go away until you pay the $50 you owe me. You AGREED to $125. If you really want to go to ligitation, be reported to the attorney general and secretary of state, have me contact and seek payment from the lender, title and loan officer over $50 then so be it. |

conotary, they are trying to make you go away by scaring you.
If it were me, I would respond to DFS the following:
I have NOT been paid according to the confirmation that says the fee is $125. Our agreement was for $125, not $75. You have breached the agreement and because you refuse to honor the contract (confirmation), I will follow through with everything in the previous letter. I will not go away until you honor your end of our agreement....I will continue to seek the $50 you owe me - from YOU are from anyone who has benefited from my services. You agreed to pay me $125 and that is what you will pay. Your account is overdue so the "channels" for which I will seek payment for are now on my terms.
conotary, it is up to you whether you want to continue this fight with DFS. You can choose to write off the $50 or go after it. If you want to continue fighting this, prepare to follow through on all that was in the demand letter. Gather all of the feedback (posts) from the forums from other notaries who worked for DFS and their negative experience. Print them all out and collect them in a folder. If this goes to court, present it to the judge - he/she will need to see that DFS has a lousy track record and has done this same thing to other notaries public.

| I sent the letter suggested on this forum and this is the response I received from Dynamic:You have been paid in accordance with our payment guidelines. Contacting anyone involved in a transaction other the contracting party to force results of a dispute is called tortious interference of contract and could result in litigation against you. As an independent contractor and not a consumer you must use the proper channels to resolve your alleged issue.. What do you think? What should my next move be? |

Got an email from this company in late July asking if I was available for a closing. I replied that I was. Did not hear back, so I emailed them. They emailed back the next day and said that the closing was still on and they had me down for the closing. I was thinking "Whoa, let's talk fees, etc." When I quoted my fee at $200, someone (who did not sign the email) sent me a smart email back saying she was "sorry, she didn't know I was an attorney." I called the company and got the email address of a supervisor. I sent a nice note saying that I didn't appreciate the email response, as I was a reputable notary signing agent charging the same amount as other notaries in my area. His response to me was that they only pay $75 for a closing and that my fee was "grossly overcharged and in line with that of an attorney" and that they could get "notaries all over the country for $75." My response to him was that I had signed my email "Notary Public" not "Esquire."
Well, have at it Dynamic ... because I won't leave my house for that amount of money. Heck, between the toner and paper and gas, I've eaten up half of the $75. After reading these responses, I'm glad I did not work for them. I will not fall for what these closing companies are trying to do ... we all see what they are charging the borrower and yet they want us to do it for almost nothing. |

You are right - I didn't do my homework. Thinking back, for some reason when I got that call I got the impression that it was LSI calling directly which does happen. I am wondering now if they are misrepresenting themselves when scheduling. I was convinced it was an LSI job as I pulled my LSI folder, etc. When I got the confirmation, I thought that perhaps it was just another branch of LSI or something and didn't bother checking them out. Somehow, LSI was planted in my mind so I am sure it was mentioned in the call.
Anyway, my latest correspondence from them after all of the legal threats, etc. was "send me your confirmation sheet." Very abrupt Guess I was supposed to prove that they quoted me $125 rather than $75 after I asked why only one side of the confirmation was being upheld. (The legal statement.) Haven't heard anything since then. I intend to fire off a new invoice today showing the balance due and then will resort to the collection letter shown here. |

Dynamic doesn't want you to contact the title company because the TC is Dynamic's client. It will make Dynamic look bad, and will embarrass them, if you contact LSI. I can't answer as to the legality of contacting a third party about this, but LSI contracted Dynamic to find a notary, and Dynamic subcontracted the job to you. LSI is involved in this chain. Did LSI send you the docs directly? Or did they come through Dynamic?
I'm kind of scratching my head as to why you accepted a job from Dynamic Field Solutions in the first place. They have a horrible payment reputation, and have had it for a long time. When I accept a job, I always check out a company here on 123Notary and also on NotaryRotary.com and I will turn the job back if necessary.

conotary, how silly is it that Dynamic is saying that contacting another party is illegal and you could get sued when they clearly failed to pay you the full agreed upon fee in the confirmation? I mean, come on!!! If it were me, I'd tell them to go ahead and sue...and we'll see what the judge says about them shorting the check by $50.
Try using the collection letter template on this forum. Other notaries have reported success when using it. I used it to prepare a demand letter for a deadbeat until I sent one last email to the deadbeat and they decided to pay up. If you utilize it, be prepared to follow through with it. |

I just received an e-mail from DYNAMIC telling me that my invoice was approved at $75 when I billed them for $125.00. My confirmation from them for the signing was for $125.00. They also stated the following when I mentioned that I would be contacting LSI if this was not settled: "Be advised that contacting another party involved in a transaction that you are not contracted with to force payment is illegal and could get you sued." Where do I go from here?

If I don't get any satisfaction from Dynamic today, I am going to tell them that I am calling LSI and then following through.
I know all about LIA. They were the first signing company I ever worked for. I was left holding the bag for two signings when they folded - one was for LSI. Left me wondering as a new NSA if I really wanted to do this! |

I absolutely would call LSI to discuss this issue with them. I would think that LSI would want to know about this type of issue with their vendor.
LSI had trouble a while back with another signing service it hired, LIA Signings. LSI started getting lots of notary complaints that LIA was not paying the notaries. LIA lost the account.

Iam confused about this company. I have only done one signing for them and like everybody else have been fighting for my pay. After 60 days I received a check which was $50 short and am waiting for a response to my inquiries about this.
My confusion is their connection with LSI. I am sure that the call I received to schedule the signing was from LSI and the docs were returned to LSI. LSI has never been anything but great with me. Would reporting them to LSI mean anything? |
