Re: I AM READY FOUNDATION
Dear Ms. Christy,
I am counsel for Jason Lee, I Am Ready Foundation, and Hollywood Cares Foundation. It has come to our attention that there is an outstanding debt owed by the I Am Ready Foundation (“the Foundation”) to the City of Stockton (the “City”) for an event that occurred in 2013. The Foundation would like to resolve the outstanding debt and request the City to update its accounting recordings to show the Foundation is in good standing.
The City has acknowledged that the four-year statute of limitations under CA Code of Civil Procedure § 337 has expired for the City to file a legal action for collection of the debt. See Email from Tina McCarty and Account History, December 7, 2022, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The City has further acknowledged that the debt has been written off as uncollectable. Id. The Foundation received conflicting information on whether interest applies to the outstanding debt. See Account Detail from CB Merchant Services attached hereto as Exhibit B. It is disputed as to what amount, if anything, is actually owed and whether the City is entitled to receive prejudgment interest as damages on a debt that was not legally enforced and reduced to a judgment under California Civil Code § 3287.
The Foundation would like to resolve the outstanding debt in good faith. Please advise if the City would be willing to accept payment of the principal and penalty assessed for a total of $3,424.39 as satisfaction of the outstanding debt.
The Foundation is eager to move forward and work with the City on its youth initiatives. If the City would like to further discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Keiyana Fordham Pilson

City of Stockton - Requested Documentation
Tina McCarty <[email protected]> Wed, Dec 7, 2022 at 1:34 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Jason,
Please find the City's Accounting system documentation regarding the I Am Ready Foundation and the corresponding contract signed by you for event services rendered in 2013. As I stated on the phone, the City has written off the liability as uncollectible due to the statute of limitations to collect such debts. The Foundation and your name have been cleared of any outstanding debt in our records.
You also asked that I send information regarding where to send payment, albeit, not required; but should you wish to send any further correspondence and/or payment, please do so directly to me using the contact information below. Thank you for your time and efforts in helping us recognize the necessary steps to clear this outdated account.
