Hi Spirit Of A Storm,

You asked, 'Where in the world?' Los Angeles City & County!

Well. I think each of them starts out at about $70, but if you do not pay it by the due date (about a month later), they double it to about $140; then, each month, they tack on a penalty. The oldest one is from about a year ago. Hopefully, the money will come in soon to start paying them down. I asked them if I could do community service, but the lady said 'NO'!

I am not working; I have plenty of time, but no money - I guess the reality is, the decision makers just want more money; lousy, myopic, cusses! Anyhow, thank you for your concern & interest, Pines of Rome
