* : Only one side of the story

We paid them a fee ($400) for incorporating our company, and found out after 2 1/2 months that the papers had never been filed. They would keep telling us that it takes a long time for the papers to process through the Secretary of States Office.

When we did it ourselves, at the Secretary of States office in LA, it took only a few hours. S of S office told us that there was NO filing for our company.

We asked for our money back, and never got a response. We reported them to the BBB, and they were totally useless.

City Attorney of Santa Monica is aware of this individual/company. Don't know if they have ever taken any action, but has talked to us twice.

Actually, what happened was

1.  Customer paid us to file a corporation
2.  We submitted the corporation to the California Secretary of State.
3.  Secretary of State rejected the Articles for incompleteness 2 times
4.  Customer lost patience with us and either filed it themselves, or hired someone to file them
5.  No one requested a refund in writing.  But when we heard that they had filed themselves, we provided a full refund of this customers money.
