In a recent post entitled Vision Land Service, Rita Killary encourages readers of this forum to give Sharon Howard and Vision Land Service "a chance" in spite of posts to the contrary by other SOT members.
Apparently Ms. Killary has recently enjoyed a positive experience with Sharon Howard and Vision Land Service. I'm glad for her and hope that her luck with them holds out.
My experience with Sharon Howard, Vision Land Service, LLC, and one Mr. Douglas Bartle is quite different.
On March 25, 2010, I received this email message from my answering service:
"Sharon Howard
321-439-8377
Re: Would like to ge some title work done approximately 20 per month, pls call asap"
I responded right away and one Mr. Doug Bartle answered the call. He explained that their company, Vision Land Service of Orlando, Florida, needed help with the gazillions of Tennessee title orders they were receiving. Over the next several weeks Doug Bartle sent me the eight orders for Tennessee title work set out below. The reference numbers are theirs.

What follows are excerpts from emails concerning said orders. Mr. Bartle's emails are blue. My responces are in black italics.

Greetings Doug
Attached please find my current owner report for Knox County Tennessee - [Name and Address Redacted].
My invoice for $50.00 will follow.
I normally request payment via PayPal for each report for online clients before sending out the reports.
Due to the volume you indicate might follow, I will just send the reports as I do them.
What is your standard payment method?
Sincerely,
David Case

Hi David,
We are happy to pay in the manner that is most convenient for you. Normally, we receive an invoice and are net 14 days for payment. If that works for you we will put you in our normal cycle.
Thank you again,
Doug

Hi David,
I am trying to figure out the Paypal thing. I am not too well versed in that.
Are you waiting to send the Anderson TN file because you have yet to receive payment?
I just need to know so I can communicate with my clients.
Thank you,
Doug

May 10 - Doug Bartle to David Case
David,
I must apologize for our not paying your invoice.
My father passed away very unexpectedly and I have been having a very rough time as my dad and I were very close.
Please send me your PayPal information again and I will send you the funds.
Again, I am terribly sorry if we appeared dishonest.
Doug
As of this morning I have yet to receive any payment for any of the work I performed for Sharon Howard, Vision Land Service, LLC, and Mr. Douglas Bartle.
More to come.
