Companies usually incorporate for financial / tax reasons. Who cares if they do or don't? If you feel the company in question is being deceptive...take your business elsewhere. -- John Inzer John Inzer |

Re: OT
Okay - here's the background.
While I was away from home, my wife called a firm to do some work which she was quoted a charge of a of approximately $100.00. When they finished presented a bill for over &2000.00. She was intimidated and frightened into signing a Credit Card charge for that amount. I'm getting ready to take the firm to court and that is the reason for the question. The BBB and Incorporation information was easily found on the web but not much else was offered.
