Samuel "Sam" Pearce requests a waiver and states the following: He was advised by a Clerk of Court representative to contact the BOE about his first report. He was told he didn't need to file unless his expenses exceeded $2,500. At that time, he didn't have any expenses. He realized he may have had expenses when he received his credit card bill. His report showed the dates of service instead of the payment dates. Please waive the assessed late fee.
