I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

changing registered agent. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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.

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

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.

So basically nAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet lol.

What trips people up most is filing with teh appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
