While I was composing this post, I tried to download the latest Annual Reports from the Maine Secretary of State Corporate Name Search

I have been downloading reports for years and it went 100% smoothly until a while back when I tried to download the report for the Boothbay Regional Development Corporation and the download screen went to 99% and then stopped and I had to write to the service to get the file.

A couple of days ago I down the tried to download the latest annual report for PGC3, LLC the company building a workforce boarding house in Boothbay Harbor, which I believe is Paul Coulombe. I keep running into an internal error screen on that one. I wrote to the service and the webmaster and so far I have only received the file that is the article of formation dated 2014- NOT the latest annual report. I have written back to say I received the wrong report but that was a few days ago and I still have not received the file I ordered.

When I tried to download the latest annual report for The New Height Group, I got an Electronic Filing Acknowledgement that an annual report had been filed.

I wrote back and said:

Your list of Filings identifies the document I ordered as an annual report but all I got was an Electronic Filing Acknowledgement. I would like to receive what I ordered. The 2022 Annual Report for The New Height Group LLC

This is the response:

Good afternoon.

What you received is the annual report. It says ‘electronic filing acknowledgement’ because they processed online. ( Me- How is that for a dangling modifier?)

I apologize for the confusion.

Thank you.

Since when was an annual report synonymous with an acknowledgement that one has a file an annual report?

What should one do to get the report one pays for that is stated online as an annual report=NOT an acknowledgement that a report has been filed. IF that is all one gets it should be identified that way in the menu.
