Malibu And Brentwood Limousine And Byo Limo breaking many laws possibly felonys making me part of there deception Marina Del Rey California
to whom it may concern.
i have read your report regarding malibu brentwood limousine owned and operated by patricia stevens. i must begin by telling you that your just scraping the surface about all the crimes being commited by this company. everything i am about to reveal was confirmed by the legal department of the public utilities commission for the state of california located in san francisco.
here's how the scam works. when a customer calls for a limousine they tell the person for example that the vehicle rate for the limousine is lets say seventy five dollars an hour plus twent percent gratuity for the driver plus tax. they leave the tax ambiguous.
lets say the coustomer wants the vehicle for ten hours.they quote the coustomer about nine hundred dollars and book the car. at the end of the run they actually charge the customer not only seven hundred and fifty dollars for the vehicle fee but one hundred and fifty dollars gratuity for the driver but also thirteen percent local city tax,five percent puc tax and ten percent fuel tax.that comes to forty eight percent tax.
when the coustomer gets the bill at the end of the night the first words out of there mouths is this wasnt the price i was quoted and they get very angry as you can imagine. there's only one problem with this there is no tax in the limousine business.
because we are a service industry. patricia stevens is creating a tax for profit and the last time i checked thats a pretty big crime maybe even a felony. patricia has been ripping off people for years and im not talking just acouple hunderd people but thousands of people for hundreds of thousands of dollars. everything i have just mentioned in the above i can prove in a court of law.i have records of all these crimes going back at least two years.i have kept meticlous records over the past two years.
patricia also pays her drivers as independent contractors. all her drivers are paid exempt. this means she dosent take out any taxes from the drivers pay check. the law states that to be an indepented contractor you must one drive your own vehicle and two have your own puc operating permit.
none of patricia stevens drivers have there own vehicles they all drive her towncars,limos ect. none of her drivers have there own puc operating permits. the reason she is paying her drivers as indepented contractors is so she dosnt have to pay workmans comp insurance.
patricia stevens is defrauding the state of california
out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. the last time i checked this was a pretty big crime maybe even a felony. why are patricia stevens drivers paying her employee's insurance. but dont take my word for it call the public utilites commission for the state of california at (415)703-1751 and speak to there legal department they will confirm everything i have written in this report,and remember i can prove it,i have all the records, years of them.
have the district attorney or the internal revenue service contact me so we can put patricia stevens where she belongs in prison. companys like this one give the limousine industry a very bad name. rated the number one limousine company in los angeles what a lie. as i have said in the begining of this report you are just scraping the surface of this company for there is so much more i could tell

As you can see this writer was not able to submit his name to this complaint, therefore it invalidates his claim. The telephone number given for the PUC, will confrm the fact that this company which he writes about is flawless within any governong bodies of the state of California. I have been a driver as well as their bookkeeper for the past twenty years, quite a long time to write this fact that Patricia who is the most ethical person I have ever worked for, has done nothing which is illegle within our tax guidelines. This particular employee, Bela, was fired bacause of his miscalculations with his gratuity with a certain client which he eventually won over to start his own company. The facts are not about taxes but about how he felt gypped since the company was collecting for service fee which was part of their built in hourly rate. This particular driver stated to the client that he never received this revenue which was untrue. He told his client that it was for the state tax which is definitely untrue, this is why HE WAS FIRED!!!

As if the taxes you're talking about are correct and should be charged. Ms Stevens would then be liable to pay the taxes to the appropriate agencied since it's her company. Are you saying that she charged these taxes and then didn't pay them? Also most consumers should realize that when they purchase something there's going to be taxes on them. That why when you go to McDonalds and buy three things off the dollar menu you end up paying more than $3 for the food. You go to the store and purchase $30 of merchandise and pay more than $30 at the register. When you rent a vehicle and are quoted $40 per day and you have it two days, you're going to pay more than $80. Some companies will price their services to already include taxes, some will not. As consumers you need to ask all the questions before enterring into a business agreement. Also your math is a little off. The taxes you mention add up to 28% not the 48% you have in your report.

It sounds as if you are an ex-employee, ex-Independent Contractor, Competitor, or someone with a major issue with this company. By the Way I am not in the Limo Industry, I do not work for or actually have ever heard of this company before. This is just how it is coming out in your report. If you have all of this "proof" and have already talked to the PUC legal department, why have they taken no action on stuff that you say they can confirm? Is it because there is actually nothing there? Why do you need someone on a public web site to have the IRS or a District Attorney contact YOU. With all of this proof you should be able to contact them with no problem. Unless of course your motive is to do more accusations rather than proof.
