A lien is excessive for one either being behind in payments, for late fees, as well as, the City has NOTposted late fees on bills until a few months ago. Is the City exempt from proper noticing?
Question for City Attorney?
Is there a law that requires businesses to post late fees? Finance fee’s? Same question for City’s? TheCity of Chula Vista was not posting that they will charge late fees if not paid after a given date. How is this appropriate in any situation let along during a hundred- year pandemic when all utilities and local County agencies had discontinued their late payment fees during the epidemic.
City has offered a payment plan for payments including late and finance fees, ZERO adjustment even though they did not post that there Was a late fee, What the fee is nor that the fees will be compounded by a finance charge. City can and should post on all bils noticing an prior to charging late fees. City should also have it on the bill as a LATE CHARGEnot noted as “ADJUSTMENT” which has multiple interpretations.
