Ms. Bell states her error was human and a result of a tumultuous and overwhelming period in her professional and personal life. All dates (last being August 27, 2021) provided occurred prior to her receiving notice that the amendment was needed. The NOD was personally signed for by Ms. Bell in November 2021. She states she did attempt to call staff on January 4, 2022; however, her report was already late and late fees accrued to the maximum amount as the amendment was due on December 6, 2021.
