Important information

  • Customer Complaint:
    BBB has received several notifications from Louisiana businesses that they are receiving letters asking for $87.25 to receive their "Louisiana Certificate of Status". One business informed us that they paid this fee only to receive a copy of their Secretary of State Registration that they already had a copy of. This same company also sends out letters requesting money for labor posters. The products/services this company claims to provide are not necessary and can be obtained from the LA Secretary of State and LA Department of Labor.

    The address the company uses is a UPS Store address. There is no such business registered in the State of Louisiana.

    I am new small home-based business owner. Over two months ago, I received a notice in the mail from LA CERTIFICATE SERVICE stating I had one more step for LA certificate status completion. I mailed a check for $87.25 on 5/5/24 to this company. I have not received any documentation from them thus far. Also, I am unable to speak to anyone at this company number ************* It is an infinite recording where you stay on hold waiting for a live person, until you finally give up. I believe this is not a real company, but another scam.

    I filed for my LLC for my craft business (******* ** **** ***) on 04/01/2024. I received my approval letter from the Secretary of State. I am now officially registered as an LLC. I thought that was all that was necessary.

    A few days later I received a letter from LA Certificate Service stating that I to do one more step to obtain my Louisiana Certificate of Status request. It was made to seem like this was a requirement by the State. I sent $87.25 to receive this certificate. Now I am finding out this has nothing to do with the State and my LLC. It is not required by the State. It is a scam.

    I am in the process of contacting them and trying to get my money back. Any help from the Better Business Bureau would be greatly appreciated.

    Since filing this I have received three more documents that say I need to send them additional funds. Not happening.

    Here is the information that was on this document:

    On or about April 10, 2023 I filed an LLC for my new business **** ***** **********. Upon receiving the LLC I clicked on a link within the states web page that I was on to file the business status to receive a CERTIFICATE with the business name, state seal, etc.
    I mailed a check for $86.50 to La Certificate Service thinking I was going to get an actual frame ready CERTIFICATE.
    What I received was a printed copy on plain stock paper that I could’ve easily printed myself on my home printer.
    I paid the money because I wanted an actual certificate.
    I want La Certificate Service to either refund the full amount of $86.50 or send me an actual certificate instead of a cheap piece of paper.

LA Certificate Service is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.
