Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they paid their Q2 2022 invoice in May 2022. They spoke with WM today and they said that there were no payment received.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that the initial payment was received on 5/19/2022 at the correct address. However, this was returned to the property owner due to a lack of information necessary to apply the payment to the account. The hauler was unable to provide specific information regarding what information was missing from the payment. The billing manager stated that it was most likely that the account ID number was not included. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment.
