NSS...Out of business, Owner died/ For recapped short version see pinned thread on page 1 by LisaSTL

While finding out answers regarding the status of the business before and after his death and sending written claims to the business address, I would also still pursue it as an estate matter...if only because of the stringent, short statute of limitations regarding claims against an estate.

Might as well cover all your bases.

That's why you need to communicate via USPS certified mail to the address on the website.

Do you know how the business was held? LLC, Inc, etc?

National Shopping Service, LLC was registered in Delaware and California in 2006. In 2010 the registration for CA was removed. It is still an active Delaware LLC.

Their listed registrant is:

Corporation Service Company
2711 CENTERVILLE RD SUITE 400
Wilmington, DE 19808
302-636-5401

Strange...another wonky piece to the puzzle. I would start sending payment claims to that address also,

How do you know he/she is on a student visa? If so, it may mean they don't have much legal recourse since it is possible they were violating the terms of their visa by working as a mystery shopper.

Harassing, stalking, and confronting former employees is a good way to wind up in jail. Aren't you on a student visa? Surely you can figure out a better way to spend your summer than inciting people to commit felonies.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Not surprising they are incorporated in Delaware. Many companies incorporate there even if they don't operate there, due to advantageous tax and operating laws.

He mentioned he was on a 4 year student visa on a different thread. His status might have changed since he posted that.

This may not do any good, but in addition to the resources others have listed in this thread, has anybody filed a complaint with the BBB?

It won't do any good. That's just the company that handled their registration, although you might try calling as they would have to know who their lawyer and CPA are.

That won't do any good. I've been down this road before when Franchise Compliance went under owing me over $200. As independent contractors, they won't take any action on our behalf.

Edited because I am posting with my phone.

Hi guys-
I heard back from my probate attorney.
Daniel Wozniak is the person petitioning the court to be the administrator for the estate.

This is the name of the attorney that is involved in handling the probate.
He also happens to be a corporate attorney.

Even if NSS is not included as an estate asset, he may be able to steer you in the right direction so you can get paid what you’re owed.

Nah, just happen to have the right contact people at the moment.

Edited to add: Just got this advice from my probate attorney's legal assistant...
"Definitely contact the attorney - the persons owed $$ will need to file a creditor's claim with the court."

If the first person to make contact with Spencer M. listed above can let us all know if that was the correct route it will save a whole lot of us bombarding this attorney with emails and requests if it turns out to not be the path.
Thanks.

Good idea.
I couldn't find an email address for him or for the law firm. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
Or maybe a certified snail mail letter might be better.
It would be easier to include substantiating info and you would know for sure that it had been received.

I have a validSSN now and authorized to work.

Why don't you go back to Trump's America?

What do you have against foreigners?
Excuse me? I said you "may" have a problem because it was "possible" you were violating the terms of your visa. How in the hell do you get anything anti-immigrant from that?

I had some choice words for anng myself but I pre edited the "sermon" in my head and decided not to reply. Glad someone did. And thanks Chris Cooper for giving me the idea to pre edit my sermon.
The first of the two quotes in my signature line must be too subtle.

Lisa I think the second of your two quotes in your sig line is more appropriate for this conversation.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

I did not see NSS on the MSPA list of member companies, but on the NSS website, NSS says it is a MSPA member. It might be worth contacting MSPA. Has anyone done that?

Interesting information. On the NSS main page, Under "About Us," NSS has always had 3 sections: Our Story, Our Community, and Meet Our Team. The "Meet Our Team" page has been removed.



edited to add 2nd paragraph. I thought it was interesting.
THIS is my concern. Someone is going in there and changing things..... We need to copy everything and I urge everyone owed money... to get all their information off the NSS site before they shut it down. I wonder how long that is going to take if no-one is maintaining the website? Here is what I just did: I printed out my ICA agreement. It shows I signed it in the year 2012 with the date and time. smiling smiley

I think this well says they are changing things now quickly.... and darn well know they owe us money! They are likely reading this forum...TOO LATE! We are going to try and get our money from you...tongue sticking out smiley
Who the heck is Consolidated Communications?. Sounds like it might be the answering service from what ever phone company they have up there in the northern reaches of my state.

Re read this and saw like a bad shopper I did not proofread it well. But now I see the error in my ways and added the word the before heck.

Yeah, that's their website, but I saw no email addresses anywhere. Only the address and phone number is shown on the contact information page.
