National Paralegal & Notary (NPN) charging $29 annual membership

Are they still charging the fee? I just saw a notification from them but no mention of a fee.

Did a job in January 2021, they sent the check minus the $29 fee in mid-March.

I just messaged them to Opt-out, but haven’t heard back yet.

Not disclosing the “Membership Fee” upfront when they offer you the job is shady.

They can’t force you to pay the fee.

It wouldn’t hold up in any court as part of the agreement as any contract requires all 3 of the following: Offer, Acceptance, and consideration.

Essentially, the offer didn’t include the terms of the “fee” therefore they can’t hold the fee against you.

If the consideration was minus the “membership” wasn’t disclosed prior to acceptance, again unenforceable.

They claim it’s in the terms, but you don’t see those until after accepting, therefore unenforceable.

I am a Pennsylvania Barred Attorney, but this does not constitute legal advice.

Let 'em have it, ZamanE. They’re not the first, nor will they be the last to pull this trick.
