Help me out, please. If you can.
So, like, a few months back, this blue envelope showed up at my place with an IRS stamp on it. I wasn't even home when it arrived, so I didn't grab it—basically told my roommates they aren't allowed to touch any of my mail because of past issues where stuff just "disappeared." I can't remember exactly when it happened, but I eventually found out it was from some notary office over in Chicago. I Googled them immediately, found their number, and gave them a call. They couldn't really tell me much over the phone, though, saying they had to resend it as a hard copy. I couldn't make it down there in person, either. Anyway, I was talking to a friend about this today and she said she went through the exact same thing with some unpaid cell phone bill. The amount she owed was actually way higher than... $333 I’m sitting here freezing my ass off over this utility bill. What I really need to know is if resending that famous envelope costs the same as the first time—like, am I getting hit with a double charge? Also, should I head out to grab that notice now, or just wait for the next round?
I guess what’s probably gonna screw me over is some unpaid VIP bill, maybe around a few hundred bucks. $300Same exact thing happened when my account got frozen. I was out of the country for like seven months, and since those last two bills hit after I got back, they ended up being paid late—maybe two or three months behind because my wife totally blanked on them. I figured everything was fine until I tried to reactivate the line and realized I couldn't. I spent a week playing phone tag with Verizon trying to get an answer, but nobody could actually explain what was going on. Then, out of nowhere, I get this collection notice from some agency. It lists a total amount I supposedly owe, but it doesn't even say why, other than their own extra fees. So, I thought I’d just call them and get some clarity, but no luck. They won't even pick up the phone during business hours. Just great.
I guess it doesn't really matter if I even bother complaining. These kinds of things aren't even handled through the courts anymore. Not worth my time, maybe.
