FYI and a continued warning to not work with Prestige Notaries.
I knew in advance they were on the slow/no payer list, but I took a chance anyway… Of course I was burned.
PLEASE take our advice (and search the MULTIPLE threads about this company) and do not accept work from Prestige Notaries.
We shouldn’t have to chase down our payments months after they are due.

@susan2 It takes A LOT for any Notary Cafe member to come onto the forum & share their non-payment situation (due to feelings of shame & being duped, etc.).
HONESTLY & TRULY any member who shares about their experience is doing so in an EFFORT to preclude other Notary Cafe members from falling prey to the same ruse . . .
There may be some that come on the forum & DEFEND the non-paying/very slow pay business entities, but (like your experience), they just haven’t been burned YET . . .
These non-paying/very slow pay business entities are QUITE convincing & persuasive when they NEED a Signing Order [SO] filled, but when it comes time to pay for those professional services successfully provided, they’re NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
Additionally, I will say that it takes a lot of fortitude to create a dedicated thread admitting (that in spite of knowing the reputation of this business entity already,) you ‘took a chance anyway… Of course I was burned.’

So, Thank You for taking the time to do create this new thread so that other Notary Cafe members will NOT FALL PREY to the PLOY & believe their sugar-coated prevarications . . .
Just for good measure, I’m referencing additional threads on this business entity:
Well, there are more than 50+ threads (which is a LOT), so going to refer to the PAGE LISTING ALL the threads on this NON-PAYING business entity & the various other business names they utilize:

I haven’t take a job with them since September. I was paid. I invoice them the day of service and set an appt in my calendar to re-contact them.
I actually have a call coming up for an affiliate from Notary Dash. I’ll remind them. I’ve always been paid. It always depends on the total months activity if I take an assignment. I have to have enough volume booked that a 60 day wait won’t kill me. Most notaries don’t think that’s okay but. I don’t consider them a non paying company because they do pay. They pay the slowest next to Notaroo who I will never accept an order from again. 90 days to a notary is ridiculous.
The above instruction on invoicing them is important.
@susan2 Concur 
percent with your assessment as well as the general consensus of the Notary Cafe members to COMPLETELY AVOID this business entity due to their “payment techniques.”
There may be some that come on the forum & DEFEND the non-paying/very slow pay business entities, but (like your experience ), they just haven’t been burned YET . . .
Here is the LIST of NON-PAYMENT threads for this business entity. These myriad voices across multiple years SPEAK VOLUMES & also mirror your astute assessment as well @susan2
Keep up the good work!

I completed 4 orders from them, 3 were in November and one in January. I emailed them several times asking for payment and they replied saying that they are working with a new company handling their accounting software. I think I will reach out to the title companies to see I they can help me with this.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR COLLECTION:
THEFT OF SERVICES:
I finally got paid from Prestige on all the orders I completed, some back in Nov. 2024. I contacted all the title companies and told them about my payment issues with Prestige. and I asked if they could help me getting these orders paid. They reached out to Prestige and I received my payments.

Still no payment, and they have the guts to continue send new offers to close loans. I answer them " If I get paid today I’ll close it for you" LOL
