I got a little bright-yellow postcard in the mail yesterday, from the NC Secretary of State. It said, due to to violations of N.C.G.S. Section 105-230(a), the corporation of which I am president (and only employee), has been \"suspended\", pursuant to N.C.G.S. Section 105-232. There was no explanation of what any of that meant.<\/p>\n
I was all like W.T.F.?!<\/b>. What are those statutes, how did the corporation violate them, why is this the first time I've heard about any violations, what does is mean to be \"suspended\", is this really the kind of thing that belongs on a bright yellow postcard (not even worth an envelope) ? ? ? ?<\/p>\n
Since it was 7PM, I didn't bother trying to call the State to see what was up - nobody was going to be working that late. So, I got on the net and searched for those statutes. But the only thing I could find was discussions about<\/i> them, I couldn't find the text of the laws themselves. But I did figure out that the laws were somehow related to non-payment of taxes or licensing fees. I tried calling my accountant, just in case, but he wasn't in his office. So, I gave up for the night.<\/p>\n
This morning, 8:05, I called the State to see WTF was going on. The nice gentleman on the phone asked me a few questions, spent a long time sighing over his computer, apologizing for taking so long, sighing some more, shuffling papers.... then he told me that for some reason<\/i>, the State has two accounts set up for my one <\/em>business; one of them is completely up to date on taxes and fees, and the other, obviously, has no record of any taxes or fees paid in the 8 years<\/i> it's been around. And, that's why they suspended my business. He apologized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got a little bright-yellow postcard in the mail yesterday, from the NC Secretary of State.
