What do you consider " bad mouthing" or trash talking? Asserting facts such as companies not paying multiple notaries is not unprofessional dealings nor trash talking, those are facts. Nor could they be Slander or libel, because they are substantial facts. Naming names is not trash talking. Do you not believe in Yelp or Google reviews either? Because how is making a complaint about a business and naming that business any different than Google or Yelp reviews? Im not sure what reality you live in. Having a bad experience with a company and stating that experience is definitely not trash talking, slander, unprofessional, classless.
I’ve gathered data from multiple notaries and have reached out to these companies with strong assertion to pay or I’m taking legal action. Frankly that’s not a threat. Im far from afraid of anything happening to my reputation or well being. I’ve fried bigger fish than a signing company. Anyone can create a signing company.
Sounds to me like you have never been scammed out of 500 plus dollars from a signing company. But for me personally, I have. As much as you are entitled to your opinion, it seems that you dont live in the real world. If I can post a serious complaint and warn other notaries of non payment, this is actually to protect them. They can choose to do the signing or not. Some of us pay our own bills, live alone or have to support a family on our own. Who are you to tell anyone about right or wrong, if you don’t walk in their shoes or know their struggles.
But you do you girl.
