Reply #18: i read 75%-85% of bills were not paid. the amount of time and cost to go to court for these

and try to get the amount of money, ends up costing everyone more. and even taking someone to court and ruled in your favor is far from getting payment. i hear fire cant put lien. would be something we have to know one way or another.

having owned a business and working in acounting forever and for major corp (coca cola) it is more cost effecient to write overdue off. and that is not having 75%-85% of receivable not being paid.

if it was so easy to collect the money, if it was cost effective to collect money, it would have worked and would continue a good decade ago, when they tried that approach. or even now, as they get roasted by the nation.

i have yet to hear any of the municipals say that is a reasonable approach.

5 out of the 8 municipals dont charge a subscribe. the charge fee for making a call. so many didnt pay, they absorb into their municipal accounting.
