Billing Time Period: 2nd Quarter of 2020 (April 1 - June 30)
Invoice Date(s): April 1 - June 30
Garbage Hauler: WM
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): There is not an outstanding amount due on either of our accounts. Please see property ID . I had two telephone discussions with Waste Management about an invoice previously.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with hauler that payment for Q2 2020 was declined since the credit card on file was expired. The property owner called on 04/27/2020 to update her payment information. According to hauler records, her request to update billing information was denied due to an error by the Customer Service Representative. Therefore, staff recommends removing the late fees and reducing the assessment to $93.07.
