Reassessment

Nobody warned me that a reassessment could go back this far. I had to dig up receipts from years I barely remembered filing. In the end most of it was resolved, but the stress of the search was worse than the actual amount owed.

The collections call came out of nowhere for a balance I thought was already settled from years back. Turned out a payment had been misapplied to the wrong account, and it took some persistence to trace it.
