I am not sure how many companies are using this platform now.  They come and go.  I have always preached against this practice.  Essentially you are paying your clients fees to Value America for this platform.  I know you are promised lots of work --- none if you don't agree to it & you will be put on Value America's list of valued abstractors -- so you will receive work from other companies. 

I don't know anyone who has EVER received lots of work by paying to receive work & then having to do more work to boot.  I have received several calls over the years from companies that I do work for stating they are going to use Value America & want me to get set up.  My answer is always a polite no.  I have lost some work but generally those clients come back to me later on.  Apparently they are unhappy with the quality of work.  (searchers are chosen 1st by how low their fees are) nuff said!!!

Please do not fall for this.  It was not developed to help the abstractor.  If enough people say no.  The clients will not use this platform.  Many have already stopped.
