| Waiver request submitted by Randall Calvin "Randy" Byrd, a member of the Sabine Parish Police Jury - District 9, regarding a $950 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 3 Annual PFD 19 days late. |
|
Mr. Byrd states that he attempted to contact this agency to request that a form be faxed to him. He further states that no one returned his calls and he forgot about the Notice. A review of the database reflects one telephone conversation with Mr. Byrd (on October 21, 2015) to discuss the late fee assessment.
He states that he cannot afford to pay because he had to pay for mother-in-law's funeral and cemetery plot.
