Waiver request submitted by Barbara Anderson, a former member of the Louisiana Housing Finance Authority, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 286 days late. |
|
Ms. Anderson first states that she unaware that she was required to file this particular year's pfd since the Louisiana Housing Finance Authority was abolished in December 2011 and replaced by the Louisiana Housing Corporation, which Ms. Anderson is not a member.
Further, Ms. Anderson states that she never received nor signed for the notice of delinquency as it was sent to her old address. A review of the records show that it was sent to a "Virgil Sims" address. However, Ms. Anderson, on both her 2009 and 2010 pfds, notified the staff that her new address was "Walnut Street."
In addition, Ms. Anderson states that she received a phone call from the new owners of the "Walnut Street" address in February 2014 regarding a "second notice." However, staff is not sure what notice this may have been as the "second notice" was also incorrectly addressed and returned by the post office. It appears that Ms. Anderson did not receive the notice of delinquency.
