 A penny short and two months late
LOL that is funny a 3 cent refund. We got a past due notice for the ETR (Electronic Toll Route) for ONE cent. I had written a cheque one cent short. We had already turned in the electronic transponder as we decided not to use the route anymore. Two months later we started getting letters saying it would go in the hands of collectors..hahahah So my husband and I go down to the main office, the girl at the entrance directing people ask us why we are there. The place was crowded and my husband shouts out "I am here to pay off my ONE CENT pass due bill that is going to RUIN my credit rating !!" He was actually holding up the collection warning letter and the penny!
We did not have to wait in line and were told the bills, letters were computer generated. He pointed out that how much they paid on postage, paper etc to get back one cent. The staff kept saying how sorry they were while snickering.
We should of sent the letter to the local newspaper. The ETR is privately owned now,
then it was run by our lovely government. |
