City Of Huntington Mails Lien Letters
WEST VIRGINIA....
The city of Huntington has sent out lien letters via certified mail to more than 2,500 refuse and municipal service fee customers who have balances in excess of $500 per account. The letters state that customers must make payment in full within 90 days to avoid a lien placement against affected real estate.
Property owners who receive a letter should contact Rossman and Company, the City's collection agency, at 1-800-250-8935 to make payment arrangements. If customers dispute the debt, they are entitled to request in writing an administrative hearing before the Fee Appeal Board within 30 days of receipt of the notice. Requests must be sent to the City’s Finance Director. The city has collected more than $1.9 million since it began its collection partnership with Rossman and Company in the fall of 2008.
