would also help if you could send or bring in a copy of any paperwork you have to support your claim. This is
especially helpful if you are disputing ownership of the property, in which case a copy of the deed (dated from
the County Register of Deeds) would be in order.

remain as billed or could be reduced, depending on the circumstances. If the matter remains unresolved, the
invoice will be placed with a collection agency.
