Emporium + Pacific Credit Group Pacific Credit Group suspended 3/1/17 by CA Sec of State for unpaid taxes Los Angeles California

EMPORIUM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES ARE DOING BUSINESS ILLEGALLY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

These companies are provably engaged in mail fraud, bank and wire fraud, and tax fraud in California alone.  

My husband's ID was stolen from his Medicare information at a doctor's office and used to order goods from Emporium using a false address. Now Emporium is harassing HIM because he will not fill out their illegal Fraud Affidavit, which asks for copies of his driver's license and/or passport, and 5 notarized samples of his signature.  

Emporium's listed owner, VNU Holdings LLC (a Delaware LLC) is doing business illegally in California because they have NEVER filed the required paperwork.  

Emporium's credit partner, Pacific Credit Group LLC, was suspended by the California Secretary of State 3/1/17 for unpaid taxes, and is now taking collection action illegally.

Pacific Credit Group's owner, Drori Capital LLC, was suspended earlier for unpaid state tax, which makes Pacific Credit Group guilty of filing false business documents.  

None of the related Delaware LLCs doing business in California have EVER filed the required Statements of Information required by the California Secretary of State's office.  They are "foreign" (out-of-state/country) businesses doing business illegally in California. 

To check their status where you live, look up the business entities on the secretary of state website for your state.  

These companies report sales of 300-500 million dollars per year, yet THEY HAVE NOT PAID THEIR INCOME TAXES IN CALIFORNIA.  Beware, because their assets can be frozen at any time.  They may sell your account to one or more collection agencies (which they may or may not own), and you will have no recourse once Emporium and Pacific Credit Group are gone.

I have reported them to my local police department, my local District Attorney's fraud unit, the FBI, the US Postal Service Inspector General's office, the California Attorney General, and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). If you have problems with these companies, please do the same, using your local police department's instructions for filing a complaint and your state's attorney general's consumer or fraud complaint website.  A good place to begin is ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#&panel1-1, using one of the categories in the left pane.  If your ID has been stolen and used to purchase goods from any company, go to identitytheft.gov/ to file a complaint.
