In a time where the house lending market is already under scrutiny for bad lending practices, closing companies seem to be following closely behind them. This agency uses National Notary agents to close mortgage files for them in areas where loans are being done and they can not be present.

They contacted me to conduct a closing in my area. I informed them that I could. They forward me the documents, I closed the loan, notarized all necessary documents and returned the file.

I went on line to close the file out as they requested, and to date 51 days later, I have not been paid. There is not a lot of recourse accept to file with the Better Business Bureau and the National Notary Association to attempt to get what they owe.
