They may be able to do a lien.
I know they do assess a one time late fee of $35.00
How do I know this?
7-8 years ago we had a horrible mail carrier and I did not get my bill. This was a well known issue in the community.
Next month it comes again with the late fee.
So I pay the bill minus late fee and call them to get the late fee waived.
They said sorry, not waiving it.
I thanked them for their time and hung up.
Realizing about the absolute worst they could do was put a lien on for $35.00 I ignored it.
So every month for the last 7-8 years they mail me a reminder that I have a -$35.00 balance. I don't even open it, i tear it up and it goes straight in thee trash.
I'm probably listing this spring and when I sell I will personally bring them their $35.00 check with the calculation of what it cost them over the years to collect it which is currently well north of $35.00
