I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

dissolving inactive LLC to avoid fees. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
