You are right Lisa. There are such companies undoubtedly who pay well on time and there are some companies whose payments generally get delayed. So its better to do a personal research of the company you are willing to be with.
I have seen the posts of the people in the thread and this guy himself was listed on Mav for being wrong.
So lets ignore the list or advocate for it to be removed as Lisa said.

That list is ridiculous... I work for several of those companies and am paid on time and well paid.

Maverick is an OK company. They used to give me MANY auto loans. They paid 75$. Once they sent me a check for their new "lower" fee of $70.
I complained, they sent a check for 5$ and never called me again. You can judge for yourself if you wish to work for them.

I was critical of Maverick at first. Mostly because I paid the $35.00 to take their Auto Signing education so that I could be on their list, however I didn't find out until months later I never actually made it on their list. That said, once the problem was solved they started using my services occasionally.

Also worth noting is that when I did finally get my first signing with them the signer refused to sign locally at his place of business and instead insisted I come to his home 100+ miles away in the Bay Area. Maverick didn't want to pay the extra travel expense and I told them I was going to consider this a cancelation on the signer's end which thier rules state I get half of the agreed fee. They agreed to it and although I figured I never hear from them again but at least get my money back for the class, they actually continued to use my services. So I have to say that Maverick is also a very fair company to work for.

Lender Sevices Direct was one of the first companies I did a signing for over 6 years ago. Drove 45 miles to do a first and second mortgage, almost 250 pages of documents. I was supposed to get paid $250.00. Never got paid. Strange, I would be able to reach my contact person but she claimed was now working for another company. The other company number I had was disconnected. The are definitely on the list of do not do signings. I have done over 1000 signings and only had 3 or 4 that never paid me. This was the first.

Lender Services was very nasty and wanted me to notarize blank affidavits. When I didn't get paid, I contacted Scott Earhart, the signing agency. He told me that the FBI had confiscated all of his equipment. I contacted the BO's and they told me that they lost 100k in the deal. Makes my $100 seem pretty paltry. The name of the nasty woman at Lender Services Direct is Starla Pressley. May she never find a job in the mortgage business again!

I tend to form my own opinion on a company especially if there is only one person having trouble with them. If there are multiple negative entries by different notaries, then I might just tell that company, if they call me, that I'm already booked and bow out of theirs gracefully.

In all of my closings, I have only not been paid by one company, Blue Ink Signings, and they went under. I wrote the $75.00 off that I was supposed to be paid for meeting a woman at Burger King on my lunch hour and having her sign a few papers. It took all of 20 minutes.

I have had to fight for some of my money, but have always gotten it. I don't take work from those companies anymore. So, just know that not everyone goes by that list, we are smart enough to form our own opinions about who and who not to work for.

I tend to form my own opinion on a company especially if there is only one person having trouble with them. If there are multiple negative entries by different notaries, then I might just tell that company, if they call me, that I'm already booked and bow out of theirs gracefully.

In all of my closings, I have only not been paid by one company, Blue Ink Signings, and they went under. I wrote the $75.00 off that I was supposed to be paid for meeting a woman at Burger King on my lunch hour and having her sign a few papers. It took all of 20 minutes.

I have had to fight for some of my money, but have always gotten it. I don't take work from those companies anymore. So, just know that not everyone goes by that list, we are smart enough to form our own opinions about who and who not to work for.

Hi Glenna,

Thank you for your response. I do appreciate your empathy. I guess it just surprised me to see our company's name on that list. I felt obligated to write a response to that as we are all notaries here at Maverick and are sensitive to negative words on the boards. We try so very hard to maintain such a positive relationship with our notaries and to treat them with the utmost respect that when negative things are said it's confusing to us.

You are right, most notaries are bright enough to make up their own minds about who they work with. I need to trust more in that and in the fact that we have a database full of so many great notaries that we have built relationships with over the years.

Thank you for reminding me of those important facts! Best of luck to you in all your notary endeavors. Please call me anytime if you would like to work with Maverick. Thanks

Warm Regards,

Jennifer Rico
Operations Manager
Maverick Document Signings, Inc.

While this isn't a complete list but enough to have on hand for fast reference. This list gets bigger by the day and is impossible to catch everyone that cheat us out of our fees. Good luck and don't be afraid to tell a bad company to take a hike!



I am the Operations Manager at Maverick Document Signings, Inc. I see you have our name on this list of BAD SS. I would like to know why you have our name on this list? We are a outstanding company with a great reputation. We ALWAYS pay our notaries. There may be one or two notaries from time to time that get angry with us for some reason or another, but we can't make all people happy. Especially when you are dealing with hundreds of notaries per month. That's a lot of different personalities. As far as payment, we always pay. There are many boards that will have positive reflections of that. If there are any payment issues with any notaries people are always welcome to call us at 1/877-628-7446 x 218 and ask for me, Jennifer Rico. I will assist you myself. As far as slandering our name and telling other people not to work with us, well that's just not RIGHT! Don't slander the few Good remaining companies left. You just ruin it for the hard working notaries trying to make a living. Any questions or comments you can call me personally. I don't mind.

People have commented about my previously posted list of companies. The list was derived by postings of notaries having pay issues. Yes, some companies are now out of business. This list was gathered over a two year period of time and companies on this list got there if at least three notaries had problems with them. Those of you who never had pay problems count yourself very lucky. Companies that have screwed me on payment were researched prior to taking assignments and I got shafted anyway. This list was shared only to give other notaries a heads up and are always encouraged to do their own research. Many of the companies listed are still the same ones notaries are posting having problems with constantly so I don't think many on the list have become the pefect client. It is merely a gouge sheet to let them know which companies may need their research. Even if these companies started to change, I would have to see numerous notaries say they had a good rescent experiences before I would reconsider working for one of these firms. This is my personal opinion and not the opinion of this site.


[
This list looks like it could have been copied and pasted from other lists. One individual having a payment problem does not indicate the company has payment issues with everyone. I really appreciate this site and everyone that contributes, but..... I also like sites like Notary Rotary with the section where NSA can comment and rate Lenders, TCs & SS. I just wish everyone was more diligent about reporting the good or the bad.

Posting these types of lists could also back-fire, for all the same reasons.

To me, it is the single most baffling thing in this industry - WHY DON'T I HAVE PAYMENT ISSUES? You'd think, from reading the forums, that almost nobody ever receives payment (let alone timely). Why do I almost NEVER have to even remind someone about an invoice - and why is that almost always all I ever have to do? I'm at about 2,000 signings as an independent, and I've filed ONE collection (and was then paid), and 'ate' two (clients went out of business or filed BK). So, I have payment issues .002% of the time.

It would be flattering if I could take that as proof I'm so special ...but I kinda doubt it.




I as well agree with you, Renee. I have been very fortunate to have been paid for every job I have ever taken. There is one company on the list whom I did not get paid from; however, I contacted the title company regarding this issue and they ended up paying me because the assigning company went out of business I can't say that everyone would have that luck to get paid because if the tile company or lender already paid when the loan funded then they have fulfilled their obligation and don't have to pay again. There are several companies on the list with whom I have worked for and still do who I have never had a problem with.

I couldn't agree more with you Renee! I too have a great track record and in 12 years I have only had to initiate one collection (in 2009 for 2008 signings) and in the end I was paid and I also no longer accept assignments from others due to thier ethics and fee schedule (very low fee).

I also read the list provided here and also agree that all of these people do not belong on that list as they are part of my list TO DO BUSINESS WITH and it is not fair to the companies that are still in business and doing well that have similar names as you pointed out.

Today is my first day looking on this forum. I am surprised to see Silk Abstract on the list of those not to work for, as I was very impressed with them, their system, and I was paid within one week. Just a little update in case someone new like me sees this list and isn't sure about all of these.

You should review and revise your list - many of those companies are already out of business and many others are very good to work with. I'd say this is not a very accurate representation.
