Jennifer:
We have filed and correctly identified the plaintiff, and the address. My apologies for your inconvenience that we have caused by the mistake.
In the process of seeking relief, we attempted to find out who to pursue. We found out that GE has a tangled web of corporate morass weaved to obscure and avoid accountability. We found that both GE and Hahm have been given an F by the better business bureau and no longer respond to the Better Business Bureau. Both the consumer complaints and a web search testify to the problem. We found that GE has a practice of porpoising, closing down a a front company and opening a new one to retain assets while shedding liabilities and California Franchise Tax Board taxes.
You have already stated in your letter that the new GEMB, INC is not associated with Joel's claim. The old GEMB, INC, cannot by law represent themselves in a California court and it is a misdemeanor to do so. GE Money Bank did not exist in California at the time of purchase and doesn't exist period in California. GE Money Bank reportedly was filed on August 3th, in Utah, and then foreign filed in Ohio, in September. Utah has no record of GE Money Bank as a valid corporation in Utah. Furthermore, your agreement says GE Money Bank (GEMB), however the only fictitious filing for GE Money Bank in California was in for your now defunct WMC Mortgage (which is by the way not the correct legal name for the company).
You have stated in writing to the court you are not the old GEMB, INC, but a new one. When we actually went to serve the old GEMB California, C1304618, Bertram Serden, agent for process of service at 9100 Wilshire Blvd #240, Beverly Hills, CA 90212, there was no suite number #240. But there was a suite #200, Fineman West and Company, LLP. Janet the front desk clerk said they used to be #240 and Bertram Serden had been a former partner.
Many GE shell corporate fronts are suspended or forfeited for either tax violations or corporate violations. Generally, I think GE has formed multiple companies commingling assets and effectively is one organization that has a disdain for regulation. Gemb, inc. Would argue that they are a holder in due course, but that argument won't hold water. The reason why GEMB, INC., is not a foreign filed corporation is to; enforce plaintiff actions while screening themselves from actions against GE Money Bank, and also to avoid paying California corporate tax on interest profits earned in California.
Modus Operandi. GE has a basic disdain and no deference to law. The company has thumbed its nose at consumers, they have thumbed their nose at California's Secretary of State. They would need to have a California Corporation to pay taxes here. They pissed off consumers. They are a big dog but the biggest dog on any block is California. California shouldn't sue GE. California needs to enjoin GE Money Bank from conducting business in the state of California.
The claim with my brother and credit is pennies. The real money is; qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur. [he] who sues in this matter for the king as [well as] for himself." The king being, Jerry Brown, Attorney General of California - who has one of the highest corporate tax rates, and Ohio, perhaps states where you have been have diverting the profits, and comparatively none. No faux corporate front will shield General Electric from paying taxes and penalties. I am interviewing whistleblower firms as you read this. (Barclays Bank PLC v. Franchise Tax BD. Of California 512 US 298 1994.) Even if untrue, the financial audit and discovery costs may be historic.
Kindest Regards,
