Everclear Water Systems

As a result of a two year investigation by the CSLB and the Ventura County District Attorney's office, on November 13, 2001, the Glendale Superior Court granted a permanent injunction against the company, it's owner and some of the employees. The order prevents the company from selling, soliciting, advertising, contracting for, or installing water filtration systems in the State of California. During the Court proceedings Everclear conceded their contracts were unlawful because, among other violations, they violated the three day cancellation law, failed to provide spanish language contracts for consumers who were unable to read english contracts, and were found to have made fradulent or false representations to induce consumers to sign contracts. In addition, since the filtration systems were installed as permanent plumbing fixtures, the firm was also found guilty of operating without a Contractor's license. Sentencing for the Corporation and employees is scheduled for February 19, 2002. Victims received notification letters from the State advising them the company had been found guilty of felony and misdemeanor charges, and that four of the finance companies used by Everclear agreed to forgive all future payments on accounts.
