Sold our house and buyers used this company as closing agent. We signed early and the ALTA and closing disclosure figures changed, signatures were swapped without consent. We signed our documents 4 days before buyers. The Alta figures changed and we were never notified. Our signatures were used and first two pages were replaced on two separate documents. Not a phone call, email, or addendum issued with the new figures. Fraudulently used our signatures on a document we never reviewed.Business response
