I contacted the CEO who arranged for me to be paid in full. Sometimes that's what it takes. Unsure what caused the delay since July.

Sincerely yours,

I noticed on their FB page they have slick new logos and offices yet still haven't paid me for a 7/28/12 past due invoice.

I've been waiting since late July for payment and was given some excuse of a redraw a month ago that I would have a check issued mid-September. Their rep just confirmed Point Break isn't paying me and she's trying to get a check cut directly from escrow.


Dear _____:

Point Break did not issue a check as they were supposed to, so I have the broker's office working on getting you a check.

Apparently Jessica Johnson isn't in on the rip off a notary scam with Point Break but I doubt I'll ever get paid.

They apparently have moved to

151 Kalmus Dr.
Costa Mesa, CA 92626 .

Their contact page doesn't provide any email or fax and they apparently try to hide their address from the Google search engine by placing a JPEG map of their address.

Here it is October and I haven't received anything yet.

I have just sent another email and will get back to report when and if I ever get paid. Other information is I was asked to pick up the docs from another loan signing agent who cancelled on them as well. I presumed the agent had a good relationship with them but it turns out she had never worked with them before.

You know what happens when you presume things. I usually run database checks on this forum and wish I would have seen this post but at that time nothing was up about Point Break Escrow anyway. It seems to be a pattern, and we need more reports on them.

I've never had this late a payment to date, and lack of regard for paying me to this degree ever.

Small Claims Court is a waste of time and money. Report them to the Better Business Bureau, that will get their attention real fast!

I did a loan closing for them. They did not pay me for a portion of the work (shorted $70.00).

Rather than paying me from their own funds for their error, they have told me I will have to collect it from the borrower.
The borrower and I had no agreement on fee's for my services, that was direct with the escrow company.

Guess it's small claims court. I don't want to be an *$^! over the situation, but I'm really considering including the borrower who lives 100+ miles away (but was in the area for the closing) as a co-defendant, just to bring more ill will on the escrow company for dragging them into it.

This little trick of not funding our fees in the HUD1 seems to be a pattern, never work for any escrow company that doesn't make the borrower pay for our fees because that means they have no real intention likely of paying us whatsoever. I had this done to me a few times from Title Resource Group for really wealthy people, $17 million mansion, etc. They claimed they had to fork out my $100 out of their pocket and initially only offered me $85. It's class warfare and a means for them to claim they need to undercut our fees. It's a strategy, not an oversight, since they have no other excuse to short our fees.

It's a tactic, not an oversight, and it's all because of greed. Don't forget it.
