A small business owner unknowingly signed up for a recurring $250+ registered agent service fee through an LLC formation site and faces unresponsive, obstructive customer service when trying to cancel.

The user was not clearly informed about the recurring nature of the registered agent service fee, and the cancellation process is designed to be obstructive (unreturned calls, ignored emails, hanging up).
