*CREDIT CARD  policy information

PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD

We accept only MASTERCARD & VISA

RFC Credit Policy

Please take a moment to read our policy for payment of appraisal order.

We will be calling your borrower in the next 24 hours, please let them know we "MAY" be asking for a CREDIT CARD to secure this order & appointment time. This is normally true if the home is located in an rural style area, where the appraiser may have a longer drive to visit the home.

This letter will explain our CREDIT POLICY for all Appraisal Reports.

1]       We are a COD company.  We collect COD at time of inspection for all appraisal orders.

2]       Will RFC Invoice Escrow for us?   SIMPLE ANSWER IS YES:  

We may extend a  “15 day COD” by way of collecting  a CREDIT CARD number, held as security, while our office waits for the closing escrow check.  The end of this 15 day grace period the credit card transaction completed & settled.

ORDERS REQUESTED     INVOICE     BILL US     PAYMENT AT COE

You will get a FAX &  E-mail form GOP to fill out:  Return this form to our office today.    You will receive a Guarantee of Payment form  “GOP”.   This is a two page letter, please fill in the credit card you wish to secure this order with and FAX back to our office.   We will NOT be going to the home without this form from YOU for any order that is INVOICE ESCROW.    You can secure the appointment with YOUR company credit card or your credit card, or if you have your borrowers credit card, fill in the GOP and return to our office via FAX. 

 IMPORTANT NOTE FROM VISA & MASTERCARD POLICY:  The 15 day COD  credit card you give us,  to make sure the credit card is VALID, we do run a “CAPATURE” transaction.  The “capture charge” will not be completed if we receive payment from escrow within the 15 days. It will automatically drop from the credit card company without ever being applied to your account, this is a service provided by the MasterCard & Visa Card companies to see if the card is VALID.   The caution note: This is for a real credit card, if the Visa or Master is a DEBIT CHECK CARD,  when we apply for a VALID card “capture” but not settled transaction, it will take the funds from your checking account and hold them for 30 days.  To use the credit card policy, you should tell your borrowers to use a real credit card, not a debit check card, to avoid any holding of money from their checking account for 30 days. 

Remember all orders are COD

We appreciate your business, we need to continue and be able to pay our group for work completed.  We trust your understanding of our credit policy to help us reduce our collections.  Thank you again for this order

 Question?  you may call our office for more details, thank you.
