A Notary's Journey: Overcoming Payment Challenges

A Notary's Journey: Overcoming Payment Challenges

October 19, 20241 min read

Introduction

The life of a notary can be rewarding, but it often comes with its own set of challenges. Vanessa Terry from Notary to Notary shares her journey through payment issues with various signing services.

The Story

Vanessa recalls a time when she completed a signing for a new company and expected payment shortly afterward. However, weeks went by without any sign of payment. Rather than letting frustration take over, she approached the situation methodically.

She began tracking her unpaid signings every Monday, noting which ones were 30 days past due. She reached out to the company, armed with detailed records from Notary Assist, including the borrower's name and the date of the signing.

The first response was promising; however, as time went on, she faced a frustrating cycle of requests for the same invoice with no clear answers. Instead of giving up, Vanessa decided to escalate her communication, firmly but respectfully expressing her concerns.

The Resolution

Her persistence paid off. After detailing her past communications and indicating that she would no longer work with the company if they did not resolve the issue, they finally responded. Payment was issued shortly after, a testament to her commitment to standing up for her worth.

Conclusion

Vanessa's experience highlights the importance of organization, communication, and advocacy in the notary profession. When faced with payment delays, a proactive approach can lead to successful outcomes.

I had no idea that this kind of service existed, but I am so glad I did...Katie made the whole process very easy. I really like the fact that she can provide virtual services so I don't have to drive across town or coordinate schedules.

We helped a family member purchase a home out of state. This was a super stressful process, as all of us were in another state than the house that was being purchased. Katie helped out in a pinch with her virtual notarization services. Most importantly, using her virtual service meant not having to take time off work to go to a local notary and wait around. She made the process easy and had everything prepped. Highly recommend!
