A:
If you received a bill for $2000 two years after paying all fines and fees to leave the state, it's important to understand the reason behind this unexpected charge. Consider reaching out to the relevant authorities or agencies to request clarification on the bill and inquire about any outstanding obligations or fees that may have been overlooked or improperly assessed.
Gathering documentation of your previous payments and communications with the authorities can help support your case and provide evidence of your compliance with the initial requirements. If the bill is indeed erroneous or unjustified, you may have grounds to dispute the charges and seek resolution through formal channels.
Consulting with a legal professional may also be beneficial in understanding your rights and options for addressing the situation. They can review the details of your case, assess the validity of the bill, and provide guidance on how to proceed in resolving the matter effectively. It's important to take proactive steps to address any discrepancies or issues related to the bill to avoid potential consequences in the future.
