It happened again today! I was running a  married couple's names to acquire, and I found a judgment that was against both of them, but it was only indexed in the husbands name. This was in a courthouse that only has the computers to search by, so I couldn' t double check myself in the books. I asked the clerk if she was going to make a notation of the mistake and the subsequent changing of the index.. Guess what she does? Opens up her desk, roots around a little, and pulls out a blank yellow legal pad and writes down the instument number and the name-puts the legal pad back in her desk and closes it. Thats it! I'm sure as soon as I walked out, that paper was in the trash. I am so frustrated about this. And I can't help but think "God, why are you letting me find so many mistakes these last couple of weeks? Are you trying to tell me something?" I would really like some input on this, because it is driving me crazy! Shannon, how do your clients react towards your disclaimers? Do you find that it puts them off a bit, or do they take it in stride? And if I put a disclaimer, does it completely absolve me of all responsiblity in regards to the clerks mistakes?
What is most upsetting, is the fact that even if I do put a disclaimer, as long as the clerk does not have to notate any changes, I would not know if they messed up or not.
Kevin and Douglas, I might just have to move out by you guys. At least over there they are held accountable for their mistakes.
Can either one of you put up a family of five?
THANKS FOR ALL OF THE ADVICE EVERYONE, I DO APPRECIATE IT! Sometimes I think you all save my sanity!
