I am wanting to file suit against a CA for numerous violations. As usual, they are very uncooperative when you request the name of their registered agent. I was told it was public information, to look it up. I tryed. I could not find ANYTHING. I then called the state. (California). They showed nothing and directed me to the county. I called the county. All they could tell me was that it was a corportation, and transfered me. Where they transfered me did not have the owners name, but could give me the person listed as the President of the corporation. When filing suit, do I list the business and the president or do I have to have the owner?
First; some of these CAs register with the state using a slightly different name than their d/b/a. There is a North Valley Financial Services in San Jose that's active, but I can't really know if they're the same CA. Second; contact the city of Red Bluff (the tax or revenue dept.) and see if there's a business license in their name. If there is, get whatever info you can on the corporate name as well. Once you get the corporate name, the Secretary of State's website can tell you who to serve.
