I had thought my oldest daughter, who just signed up for the Marines, was beginning to start adulting. But I guess I was wrong. I found out that back in February she got a speeding ticket. She hasn't had a job since February so had no money to pay the fine. So she just ignored it. By the time I got a letter to our house from the court the fine had went from $177 To $477!
The $300 difference is because she did not have her proof of insurance with and when she did not show up for court that was added to the bill. But she did have insurance.
She also did not file her tax returns which would've been enough to pay off the $177. Now she's lost one of her W2 firms and was convinced she wouldn't be able to file her taxes because she missed the deadline date.
The company that she lost the W-2 form shut down and is no longer in our community. But with Google I was able to find out how to retrieve a copy on line. Now the problem is getting her to do these things. She agreed to meet with me Thursday morning and then bailed.... Friday morning and then bailed.... Monday morning and then bailed.
I told her I'm still willing to help her but I will no longer call her and arrange for us to do this she will have to take the initiative and call me set up a time and show up. I told her I will not help her with the fine till we get these other issues cleared up.
I am afraid if she doesn't get this settled she will lose her license... the fine be turned to a collection agency...and they could put out an arrest warrant for her. Which might keep her from getting into the Marines or at least delaying it. I can't wait for her to go to Boot Camp. I just hope she can finish it.
