"Dear Oggy Bleacher :
Our
records show that coverage for your auto insurance policy has
been cancelled for nonpayment of premium. There is a balance due in
the amount of $20.00 on your
account.
I was in the city hall registering my van in Texas the other day and she handed me a $200 invoice and although people were waiting I asked, "What did I pay for?" and that simple question is something I want everyone to start asking. All these penalties and fines and bullshit and taxes..."Ok, but what am I paying for?"
"That's our policy, Mr. Bleacher."
"Fine, but what's the money for?"
"$90 is for fees assessed."
"What does that mean? There are five other numbers on that invoice so are those not also fees assessed?"
"Those are different categories."
