Non-payment from Prestige Horizons LLC

[vickie.ridley]

Hello,
I completed a signing for Prestige Horizons, LLC via signing order on October 1st 2024 and have yet to receive payment from them. I’ve left several messages via voicemail and emails with no response.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with this signing service company. I have five star ratings with all the platforms I’m currently signed up with and to be ignored after completing the work is unfathomable. I’m having a hard time understanding this form of behavior when you need notaries to be successful.

I have concerns that my time was stolen and there are no plans to pay me for this.

I look forward to your responses.

Thank you.

Their FB is down. Their website is down. I’d strongly suggest contacting Title and hope they can be of assistance to you.

Demand Letter for non-payment? Have you ever?

I had that happen to me. Here are the steps I was told to take and it worked. You need to contact the title company who used the signing service that contracted with you. If they refuse to help, let them know you holding them responsible. If they refuse to get the service to pay or to pay you, send 3 emails with a copy of the invoices attached marked PAST DUE, spaced about a week or two apart requesting payment with the warning that unless payment is made, you will be taking further action…
