On the contrary, if someone claims your business, it's extremely difficult to undo. My mother has this issue with her 1 person LLC - some random person claimed it, and the reclaiming flow was busted last I checked

When I did this a long time ago, I received a postcard to the address on the website, contain a PIN code that I needed to input on line. Don't they do that any more?

Not sure, the issue I hit was that it was legitimately broken when I tried. 500 responses or some such from an API call

Could you change the address (as described in this article) then claim it?
