Payment Methods
  • BBB has noted a pattern of complaints against Workplace Compliance Services, also known as ANS Inc. The Lansing-based company is operating in multiple states under assumed names. Often the business adds the name of the state to Workplace Compliance Services, Assumed Name Services or Business Compliance Services to make it appear the company is based in that state. Complaints allege Fata's company sends businesses documents related to state mandated annual corporate filings. The complaints claim the documents make it appear they are from, or affiliated with, the government. Similar complains have been lodged against other businesses linked to Fata, including The LLPS Inc. The BBB has attempted to contact Steven Fata, ANS Inc., and Workplace Compliance Services for comment, but as of 3/28/19 the BBB has not received a response.
    This company states they only accept checks as a payment method.

Alert

BBB has received several reports on C.P.F.S. deceptive mailers. The company sends out mass-mailers offering their service to file state annual reports for an additional fee of $75. Recently, Mississippi businesses’ received a ‘2019 Annual Report Instruction Form’ from the company. Consumers state these notices appear official and have early deadlines giving a false sense of urgency. Although, there is a disclaimer on the form explaining that the company is not a government agency, some have claimed the disclaimer is not placed clearly and conspicuously enough to draw their attention to it. In addition, through BBB investigation,  The address used on the mailer, 1220 E. Northside Drive Ste 299 Jackson, MS 39211 is a UPS Store box and not a physical address for the company.

BBB reminds business owners that the MS filing can be done directly via Mississippi Secretary of State

Update as of November 2021:  BBB has started receiving information that the company has changed its name to C.F.S.  The address is for another company not affiliated with C.F.S.
