Stewart Title Insurance Company has recently been notified of the following Westchester County Recording Prep system change:
Notice: Financial Rejection Email Alert Added
Beginning today, customers will receive an email notification when their package is rejected for a financial reason only. In addition, the package will return to your PREP package grid where you can view and print the rejection letter if necessary. In an effort to save paper and postage, we will no longer be mailing out financial rejection letters when there is no need to mail back a rejected payment (such as an unsigned check).
Eliminate Financial Rejections and Refund Applications by Authorizing ACH Debit
By simply filling out a form authorizing us to debit funds for land records from your bank account, you will never get a financial rejection letter or need to apply for a refund again. Once your package has moved through our system and been approved, you will get an email with the list of packages and amounts we intend to debit. You are given two business days to be sure these amounts are correct and you have the funds available. In the meantime, your package is recorded. In addition to the daily email, our ACH customers can login to PREP at any time and run Excel spreadsheets of financial activity. For more information, visit WestchesterClerk.com and choose "Services" and then "ACH Debit Accounts" or call our Finance Unit at (914)995-2140.
Your Suggestions Are Welcome
Please remember that while using the PREP System, if you think of something that would improve the system, you can click the "Suggestions" link at the bottom of the page and share it with us.
Sincerely,
The PREP Team
