Advertised $200 to register an LLC, charged $707...
I'm helping a friend register his business (I'm paying the registration fees), and we accidentally used this site. The site looks very governmental and official, but I found out later is *not* actually an official government site. Once we got through filling out the registration forms with the business info, we got to the payment section and it had a big button that quoted a $199 price for registering an LLC. We submitted our credit card details and a confirmation page was shown. Despite there being no invoice or receipt email sent, the company then made three charges totaling $707 on my credit card ($99, $193, and $415). Googled the site name and found lots of reports of the site being a scam and overcharging for the services. Called the company attempting to cancel the order and get the charges refunded, and was told I will be contacted by the account manager in about 24 hours. Will update review with result. Update: I was able to get all the charges refunded by calling the company up (found their phone number on their website).
Response from State FilingsSep 17, 2025
Hi Scott, We’re glad to hear that you reached out to our team and that the matter was resolved with a full refund. That said, we do want to clarify a few important points for accuracy. We are a private third-party service provider, not a government agency. This is clearly disclosed in our Client Agreement, which every customer is required to read and acknowledge before completing an order. The $199 fee displayed at checkout covers our service fee for handling the LLC filing. In addition to this, the state also charges its own mandatory state filing fee, which we cannot waive or cover on behalf of customers. Any other charges on an order are tied to add-on services that a customer has actively selected during the checkout process. Given that your charges were fully refunded, and in light of the above clarifications, we would respectfully urge you to reassess your review to ensure it accurately reflects both your resolution and our role as a third-party provider. Thank you -State Filings Management Team
