Rex McCarthy's nephew signed the certified notice but neglected to give it to him on time. Once he received the notice, the filing deadline was already past. Please consider that he has not received a late fee since 2010, which is a total of 14 years. Mr. McCarthy would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
