The irritating thing is I paid one of the violation bills 2 weeks ago, but never got a letter saying it was too late or that it didn't go through. I've had no time to pay these tolls and have been getting them in the mail since last may. On top of that my mail gets delivered 15 miles away from where I live so between work and the funeral, by the time I had the time to pick it up, a lot of these tolls were already in violations. I broke down the other day because I barely make enough money to cover my rent and the one person who helped support me just passed, and the first thing I find is this.
I read I can negotiate with the debt collector to lower the cost and "pay to delete" but I'm not sure the best way to approach it. I don't know if I should call or write a letter but I'm terrible on the phone and I have no idea what to say and afraid of making things worse somehow.
Hey guys, my service lost a long time employee to cancer today, and given his 30+ years of service to our region, were trying to pull out all the stops for his funeral. It's a tradition within military, police, and fire for the funeral bell to ring at the ceremony, and so far we have been unable to figure out how many tolls it should ring. Is there a traditional number for EMS? Thanks guys
