Has anyone dealt with something like this in Illinois? I'm not sure what my options are.

annual report filing missed. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Not gonna lie, I put off calling an attorney for weeks. Wish I hadn't waited.

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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.
