Mr. Tarver states that the imposition of a late fee would cause a financial hardship. He states that his monthly income (social security) is $2,215 and the late fee would be a heavy burden. He also states that he is 80 years old and has had several personal issues that consumed him, i.e., death of his step-daughter on March 5, 2013, separation and ultimate divorce from his wife.
