Bingo. THIS is what some notaries in here are not getting.

EUGENIEPENCE - I didnāt ācaveā. I did what was best for me and MY business. I didnt resolve this issue to satisfy anyone, but me. Those reading and responding are entitled to their opinions, but not to insult others business practices. I made the decision to resolve amicably, without disrespect to either of us. So, you can have your opinion, but it was my business decision and I am ok with it.

I respect your decision. People who arenāt lawyers who screech about breach of contract tend to not impact my decisions either. Stand your ground. Nothing wrong with that.

@lisette464 Hello - I am new here (notarycafe.com) and really enjoy reading the posts and the insights you all have provided.
The short answer to your question: You are NOT Wrong. NEVER accept this way of doing business, from ANY firm. Once the fees are agreed upon and you compete the assignment, as per terms, NO ONE has the authority to change your rates/pricing. Imagine going to LV and seeing a purse, getting the price confirmed, and at the register saying: āI am ripping up this price tag. Iām paying you what I think it is worth..ā Nope.
All pricing negotiations (offers/counteroffers) are done prior to me even grabbing my keys. There is no way I am going to complete my job and then you start ādeductingā fees at your leisure. I mean even the spice bazar in Bangladesh knows proper negotiations and finalized pricing code of conduct.
You are well within your rights, especially when you have an agreement in writing. He/She/They are in breech. They need to pay you your monies. Period! You are wonderful - keep doing what you do!
Chau for now,

PS - I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. I just dislike when firms try to nickel and dime us.
I hate when this happens. I have seen notary fees paid to signing companies for $250 and even $300 but I was paid only $75. This is not fair but, too bad that we are not allowed to form a union.
Did you agree to $75?
I agree with you if the confirmation stated an agreed upon fee for the work requested, then that is the fee owed..Going further if this was a company youāve had a history with then contest it providing the confirmation as evidenceā¦if it is a one type doing business with themā¦I would still submit the confirmation and requesting they pay the fee contracted forā¦If they donāt pay then I would mark them as a company not to do business with and write off the loss on your taxesā¦not worth fighting
OOPSā¦I am new to Notary Cafe and just read your resolutionā¦Congratulations..well done. He made an error but chose to resolve it and you agreed,better some than none and you can continue with the relationship with themā¦
