If the school district didn’t send a certified mail/return receipt requested letter, IMO they did not do due diligence to collect before turning over to collection attorneys and then the courts.
The mother is, apparently, a doctor. Docs are known to work very long hours. Maybe a non-English speaking maid/nanny answered the phone, maybe the kids did. Maybe they get a ton of school district mail that gets thrown in the circular filing cabinet. They had only to send a $6 certified letter to back up their assertion that they ‘tried everything.’ Add a $10 s/h fee to the $30 + any return check fee. Lots less than $800/

I’m having a problem finding being a “doctor” an excuse. They’ve been telling us for how smart they are, but they can’t take the time to write a clear prescription or fill out forms correctly...sorry, I’m kind of busy too. But I still pay my bills.
Get REAL.....the BANK ALSO told her she bounced a check!!!!
