I was wondering if anyone else has been having issues with this company paying for the signings completed?
This is not the first time this has happened and before I was not as concerned because maybe the company was going through something. However now this is close to the fifth time this has happened. I completed an order last year in October and was told that I had to submit an invoice and would receive payment 37days after submitting. It has been well over that time close to 6 months past due and I am beyond upset. If anyone else has gone through this, how long did it take to receive payment for the order and do you suggest anything that I should do?
@sculpturefinances Great question! Your first Stop should be to Research the GOLDMINE found within the Notary Cafe database.
There is a bounty of information available there on this business entity. This data will be very insightful & helpful, too!
It’s always wise to research & vet a new client prior to providing a definitive confirmation to them for your initial Signing Order for them. A great start of research would begin within the Notary Cafe forums Search Function.
Many members state that the Search Function accessing the Magnifying Glass is difficult/nearly impossible to locate.
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
Accessing the database to locate info about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .

FYI ~ Prestige is also linked to Notary Dash as well C2C aka Coast 2 Coast Signings. Once upon time ok companies to work for but reputation has deteriorated to slow pay or no pay. Keep after them for payment and request accounting email for their organizations. Place them on your naughty list.
If is not much money what they owe you, just let them know you are donating it to their welfare fund and never work for them anymote, better lose a nail than a finger…
They were a little late with payment - about 1 week. Maybe not late at all if using business days. Be advised, they require you to send them an invoice and they pay in 30-37 days. Neither of which is spelled out in their terms. I made the mistake of not verifying that before hand, causing a delay. Interestingly, the law firm that contracted me through Prestige, contacted me directly for a second appointment with the same signer, about one month later and paid me nine day before Prestige did!
I find it helpful to make sure to put your comments in the NotaryDash platform so there is a more visible record of your contacts with them. So when you send the invoice, go to the platform and place a comment that you’ve sent the invoice, etc. It’s a more visible paper-trail. You never know who’s looking at that!
I’m part of a notary team. I haven’t had time to verify my Driver License on Notary Dash so despite being offered jobs ahead of other notaries, I am seldom hired. My partner who is offered the jobs after me is regularly hired by them. The last time he reminded them that they owed him for two signings. He was paid the next day for them, ahead of his new appointment. Despite invoicing usually within a day of the signing, the 37 day limit is rarely followed. So far payments have been very late, but arriving. Prestige is not the only company slow on payments, a few of them have gone out of business completely and will never be able to pay. I put them on record as lost income. In general it seems like companies using the Notary Dash platform have discounted their fees, for this reason it makes less business sense to contract with them unless the signing is close by and you are able to absorb potential non-payment.
Lucky you that has been paid without issues. Wondering if this could be an east coast or west coast situation. I’m in WA State. Would be helpful if people listed their state of service. Thank you.
I have done 9 signings for them. Only got payment for 1 and it was 45 days out. I have four now at 60 days out. I have sent several invoices via Notary Gadget but no response. I have a closing for them on Monday, but I notified the agent and title that I could only complete the assignment on a cash basis due to non payment. will see how that plays out.
