Mr. Freeman states that he never received the NOD's that were issued in June, 2018.

He states that he was told that the NOD certified mail green cards were signed by someone named "Scott" and that he does not know anyone by this name.
The Late Fee Orders were sent to the same address as the NODs and Mr. Freeman signed for the Late Fee Orders.
