Her mother suddenly passed away on 7/2/2022. Later that year, her brother was on life support and passed away in January of 2023. She separated from her husband in August of 2022 and divorced on 6/2/2023. In addition to the issues stated above, the late fee notices dated 6/26/2023 were sent to her former marital domicile, which is why she did not receive them timely.
