Well, If I had known about X Marks the Spot before I accepted a signing, I would never have accepted the signing. She is unprofessional at best. I had been in communication with her about the signing, the signing went very well and now she has not paid me since the signing took place. I texted her and she said payment was being processed. I texted her again as that is her only communication, she won’t answer calls and told her if she didn’t pay immediately I would have no other recourse than to file a complaint against her and the company with the Secretary of State. Let’s see how she responds to this one.
SOS doesn’t care. Call TC & advise of non-payment–they usually put some pressure on SS to pay as it reflects on TC’s reputation, too. They usually pay 30-45 days. How long has it been?

@lisette464 Concur with @Arichter that the Secretary of State isn’t built to fight the battle of NON-PAYMENT.
You’re the Front Line on this one . . .
When a client new to you reaches out with a Signing Order, the onus is upon YOU to research & vet your POTENTIAL new client via several methods.
One of the BEST TECHNIQUES is to research the immediately available information found within the Notary Cafe database on the business entity.
This information is a GOLDMINE!
Most members express that they find it difficult/NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of information available within the database.
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.
I’ve performed a cursory Search on your behalf and the results show 17 separate threads (in addition to yours) about this particular business entity.
There is a plethora of data immediately available on the threads within Notary Cafe.

Again, accessing the database to locate information about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .

Yes, certainly DO REACH OUT to the Title Company [TC] to make them aware of the fact that this business entity is engaging in a NON-PAYMENT tactic for the professional signing services you’ve successfully provided.

Also, here is an EXCELLENT Step-By-Step method by @rparker for COLLECTION of overdue invoices:
55 days since the signing
Plus you might tell she is commenting wire fraud.
How so, Earl? How is refusal to pay wire fraud?
Look up the word fraud, they are doing it on the internet.
Hi Earl, I am also confused on what you are saying: “Plus you might tell she is commenting wire fraud” followed by “Look up the word fraud, they are doing it on the internet” is just not terribly clear what you are referring or talking about. Combination of ambiguity, wrong word choice, and brevity maybe. But when someone in this forum asks you what you are talking about, take it at face value. Not as a challenge to your skill or personal insult. Please try to be more clear so readers can understand and maybe we can all learn something. Thank you.

Ok I will try refusing to pay you is fraud. And the means by which they gave you the job was the internet which is the wire.
I have done several signings with them and notice that they do pay around the 45-60 day mark. I usually email Missy and receive a response same day about the status of the payment. I don’t mind working with them though as they don’t micromanage. I just keep track of payment due date and email Missy when it gets close to when I should be getting paid.

If you use venbooks you can report them as a black listed company if they are not already listed. I just had this happen with a fly by night SS called Ink & Stamp.
