Empire Electric Equipment Corporation will not pay their legitimate bills owed to vendors. Beware of a bait and switch routine where Empire Electric Equipment Corporation will establish an account, purchase product, and attempt to settle for much less than the original monies owed. Empire owes our company over $21,000 and has been past due for over 8 months. Attorneys have been retained and Empire continues to not fulfill their obligation.

Representatives from Empire Electrical Equipment Corporation continue to promise payment through debt settlement companies, attornies, accountants, but do not send settlement contracts or payemnt.  Every email to settle debt turns into a delayed response claiming they will pay in a couple of weeks, but never do. Do NOT do business with this company if you expect to be paid!

Empire Electric Corporation will not pay legitimate debts owed

In January 2017 our company (ATS) sold over $20,000 of product to Empire Electric Equipment in Sacramento, CA.  We have received a fraction of the amount due totaling $10,000.00 from Empire Electric Equipment in payment.  Hours and hours over many months have been spent trying to collect the money rightfully owed to us.  Empire Electric Equipment sold this product to a municipality and materials were drop shipped directly to the municipality, confirming Empire Electric Equipment has been paid for the product.  We received $3,000.00 on July 5, 2017, $3,500.0 on December 1, 2017 and $3,500.00 on December 27, 2017.  It has been over a year and we are still fighting for over half of the money they owe us.  Empire Electric Equipment has also accrued approximately $3,400 in late/finance/collection/attorney fees.  Empire Electric Equipment has acknowledged time and again in emails, telephone calls and through their full time retained attorney that they owe the money.  We have been contacted by other companies that have sold to Empire Electric Equipment with the same issues and all are trying to collect the monies due to them.  Empire Electric Equipment simply refuse to abide by the terms that THEY set forth when the product was bought.  I would exercise extreme caution if you chose to do business with Empire Electric Equipment!

Update to Empire Electrical Equipment - Does Not Pay Legitimate Bills Owed!

*** update*** In October 2017, Empire Electrical Equipment Corp had agreed, through their 3rd party debt settlement company, to make equal monthly payments starting Nov 20th 2017, to come current within 8 months.  However, when Nov 20th got here, yep, you guessed it, no payment made.  Also, Mike Garcia with Empire told his debt settlement company he would now not pay unless all of the true and accurate negative reviews were removed.  We offered to remove this information once we were paid, but not until we were paid in full. According to Empire’s debt settlement company, that was not acceptable. 

Please be very cautious doing any business with such an unethical company that does not pay their honest debts even though they are paid by their municipality customers.  Also beware of any credit checks you are performing on Empire.  If you are considering doing business with Empire, feel free to use us as a credit reference and we will provide accurate and honest history!
