ATC Privatization, HR 2997
My only similar incident was when I received a bill for *fuel* for my ASW-19b
from a North Carolina FBO and I had only flown it in Texas at that time.Â* It wasn't me and I called them and told them so.Â* That was the last I heard of it. On 10/7/2017 9:23 AM, wrote: Just curious...Â* If any country sent me a bill for my US registered aircraft and I'd not flown it in that country, I'd tell them politely that it wasn't me and then ignore all further communications from them. I agree and tried that.Â* I got followup invoices with late fees and penalties. The US has some sort of obligation agreement to help them collect fees, so the US gets involved too. They eventually assigned a debt collector to harass me. I finally had to get an attorney involved. I spent far more money fighting it, than if I had just paid the tolls, but then it was the "principle of the thing" and I am stubborn. When you see how much of the money goes to the "administration" cost of these systems, it is really sad. My vote is for "appalling" rather than "sad," but that's a quibble, not an argument! I/my sailplane also once received a fuel bill from an FBO in NM. Fully prepared to ignore any "further/perpetuating/reinforcing errors" until the end of my natural life, I simply wrote them back it had to be an error, and why, and never heard another word. OTOH, my wife continues to occasionally receive dunning notices (from a collection agency) for a once unpaid (as in, late) utility bill from long before we ever met. These receive all the attention they deserve... Bob W. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
