Max Voight received two late fee orders on February 8, 2012. Mr. Voight failed to request a waiver in connection with either late fee orders. On January 11, 2013 and January 18, 2013, two demand letters were issued demanding payment of the two outstanding late fees. In response, Mr. Voight submitted this untimely request for a waiver. He alleges he never received the late fee orders. However, the letter were sent to the address he provided on his reports, the address of the Village of Provencal Town Hall.
Mr. Voight asserts he has recently been diagnosed with lung disease and suffers from reoccuring kidney stones. Supporting documentation has been requested and not received at this time.
