Waiver request submitted by Mr. Scott Alden Couvillion, a former member of the Audubon Area Security District, regarding a $100 late fee assessed for filing his 2017 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 2 days late. |
|
Mr. Couvillion received his NOD on 1/10/2019. He states that he made numerous attempts to contact our office and left voice mail messages but did not receive a return call until 2 days after the due date to files his PFD. (Note: calls were being forwarded to a voice mail for a staff member who was ill and not in the office. Mr. Couvillion called on 1/24/19 and requested a supervisor. His call was forwarded to K. Winfrey and his issues were addressed.) He also indicates that he uploaded his 2016 and 2017 documents and received an email confirmation on the 2016 upload. He assumed his documents were received and didn't realize the problem until he received the NOD. He asks the board to consider his efforts to comply by uploading his documents and by making numerous phone calls to try to resolve the problem.
