Has anyone regretted choosing their original registered agent?

Yeah, I switched after about a year because they used my home address by mistake on a document. That was a headache. Now I use a company that specializes in privacy and it's been fine, but I still worry about past exposure.

Never regretted the agent itself, but I did regret picking one that didn't offer a business address. Had to piece together services later.

What do you mean by 'handle privacy well'? Most registered agents just forward mail. Privacy depends more on whether they use their address for your filings and if they sell data. I'd check their privacy policy before assuming.

I've been with the same agent for five years. No regrets, but I did a lot of research upfront. Cheap isn't always bad if you read the fine print. The main thing for me was that they don't use my home address.

Just switch. If you're already doubting them, it won't get better. I waited too long and ended up with a year of mail going to the wrong place.

How much are you paying? Sometimes the cheap ones cut corners on privacy. I pay a bit more for a privacy-focused agent and consider it insurance.

My original agent was a local lawyre. Not a privacy specialist, but reliable. I only switched when I moved states. Regret is a strong word—more like mild annoyance at the lack of transparency.

At $50, you're likely getting basic service. Privacy-specific agents often charge $100–$200. But again, check what they actually do with your data. Some just forward mail and that's it.

I regret not asking about their mail forwarding process. Mine scanned everything and sent it via email, which felt invasive. Switched to one that just forwards physical mail.

FrostyPine, that's a good point. Scanning can be convenient but it's another privacy risk. I prefer physical forwarding too.
