Description

The National Filing Service mailed me a letter saying I was overdue to pay for my Corporate Transparency Act filing, according to the the new federal laws for small businesses. I did not know I wasn't required to pay this fee to file, and thought it was an official government document. I hurriedly paid the $299 fee since it is now July, and the letter said my deadline was May 24, 2024, and I could be charged $500/day and face imprisonment if I didn't do the filing with them immediately. But once I filed, I did not receive any documents about my filing status, and nothing that showed my business was officially covered for FINCEN. When I tried to call them, no one answered, and when I emailed no one responded. Upon going to the FINCEN website, the official government one, I saw that I was not required to pay anyone to file this for my business. Therefore the National Filing Service scammed me.
