PSA: That $200 filing service charged me extra and still got my forms wrong

I used one of those online incorporation filing services back in March for my LLC. They advertised a flat $200 fee but tacked on another $85 for "expedited processing" I never asked for. Then they sent the paperwork to the wrong address in the state filing, so I had to pay $50 to amend it myself. Total wasted time was about 3 weeks waiting for corrections. Has anyone else had a filing service mess up something this basic?

Hey, did you try the "trust us we know what we're doing" button? I swear mine came with a free side of anxiety and a typo in my business address. I paid $300 for a filing service once and got back a form that had my name spelled wrong, so I guess we're both in the "paying extra to learn patience" club.

@casey342 oh man that is MADDENING. paying extra for a service only to get YOUR OWN NAME wrong is like the ultimate slap in the face. i almost appreciate the honesty of them just admitting they messed up from the start. at least with the stressful DIY route you KNOW the chaos is your own fault. but having someone else charge you for THEIR mistakes? that stings way worse. hope you got your money back at LEAST.
