I was recently asked to do a correction of missed initials, which I did, with the documents provided by the signing service. I was then told that the docs were not accepted because the corrections were made on copies (which is what they provided me with!). The next day they provided me with clean copies of the documents and asked me to back-date them and attach an acknowledgement…I explained that I would have the docs re-signed, notarize them but could not back-date a notarization. Nor can I fill out an acknowledgement for myself. This was such a frustrating experience and I am not sure if I handled it well. I am sure I will not be paid for this job and it took 3 trips for no result. I have been signing for over 2 years and this has never happened. I need insight.
I don’t understand this part - can’t fill out an acknowledgement for myself
They requested that I fill out an acknowledgement that I did the correction, which to my thinking means that I would be attesting and notarizing my own actions. At least I think that is what they were asking.
So all they want is written confirmation from you that you had the corrections done? I wouldn’t have a problem with that (a written statement would not be against our laws here in Florida), but I would NOT stamp it as there is no notarial act.
Thank you Linda. I am still completely confused at what an acknowledgement with no accompanying form would accomplish. I will not accept a job from this company again and am sorry that they would not let me speak with the title company to figure this out. Lessons are always being presented to us!
They’re just documenting their own file on the closing as title/lender has the original corrected docs - they just want to cover themselves…
