            • 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.

            Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:

            State of Colorado and ANS Inc., doing business as Workplace Compliance Services
            The Colorado Attorney General has entered a settlement with Workplace Compliance Services, claiming the company illegally solicited Colorado businesses using advertising that lacked required legal disclaimers. Under the terms of the settlement, the company will issue refunds to affected consumers and will include correct disclaimers on future ads.

            According to the State of Colorado, while it is legal to send solicitations offering to file documents with the secretary of state’s office on a client’s behalf, these ads must contain a disclaimer in at least 24-point font explaining to recipients that it is not coming from or on behalf of a government agency, and that businesses are not required to pay or otherwise act on the offer.

            According to the AG's office, the company, which charges businesses $150 to file periodic reports required by the secretary of state, assured Department of Law attorneys that it has already refunded $7,000 to 50 businesses. Under the terms of the settlement, the company will refund an additional $11,900 to 85 more businesses.
            In addition to the required refunds, Workplace Compliance Services will provide a report of all refunds issued, will submit future ads to the Department of Law for review, and will pay an additional $7,000 for reasonable costs related to the state’s investigation.
