How to Serve a Claim to a Company That Has Filed Withdrawal in the State

[lameri]

My question involves business law in the state of: CA

I filed a claim and had the court serve it to its registered agent, but I received a letter stating "the registered agent's authority to receive service has been revoked." I called the registered agent and they said that is because the company has filed a withdrawal form to stop doing business in the state. Do you know how I can serve them now?
Thank you.

If they are still the registered agent per state records then they are the registered agent & can be served with legal service. Their letter has no legal effect.

Have you actually had the service performed?
