I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

annual report filing missed. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The trap most people fall into is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Your mileage may vary depending on the specifics.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager haha.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Similar thing happened to me. The attorney I spoke with laid out options I didn't even know existed.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Of course the details matter a lot here.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Most folks screw this up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead imo.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
