Not seeing the issue...it's a lien...not a foreclosure -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:45 6
- well, the stamp to mail it costs $.42. A cutoff is needed (CCRA uses $2 where they will neither refund nor look for payment) -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:46 5
  - So then the "74 year old blind" part was just not needed. - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:50 3
    - Not much of a storyteller, huh? "Little Red Riding Hood" by CCC becomes "Girl". -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 07:58 1
      - It's an attempt to make you feel outrage that isn't really deserved,it's like, "store refused to refund opened DVD returned by74 year old blind woman" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 08:04
    - it makes the story -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:56
  - plus it was the current year's bill. Crazy to start threatening after taxpayers after 1 year of non-payment -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:47
Didn't this happen to MojaveMom? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:42 1
- It happened to my mom over 2 cents -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 18, 16:05
