The Not-So-Gentle Giant & Fox Management Group Defaults, OWES OVER $600,000! (#905)

Last Wednesday, while returning from dropping M at the bus stop, I saw the local newspaper sitting in a pile of other papers and flyers on the sidewalk.
Seeing no sticker on the wrapping, and aware that the paper runs a campaign every few months to solicit new subscriptions, I grabbed it and headed inside.
A few minutes later there was a banging at my front door.
I opened it to see a hulking, glassy-eyed giant.
It took a second to realize it was apparently-unemployed/underemployed financial aid manager Diego Arce in a disheveled sweatsuit, which he probably had slept in!
He snarled something along the lines of "Gimme my paper!" along with "Don't touch my thing!"
Rather than try to discuss the matter with the obviously-unbalanced Arce (and find out if, in fact it was his paper), I gave him the paper and he left, mumbling under his breath.
Feeling that keeping a safe distance would be the best approach, I e-mailed the following...

Diego Arce:
For the record, son,
1) Both the (local papers) have done campaigns where they put out complementary copies of their Wednesday-Sunday papers in order to attract new subscribers.
According to a quick search on the web, it's an ongoing thing that "rotates" thru various sections of the city at various times.
2) In New York City, newspaper deliveries (especially ones to multi-unit structures like apartment houses, co-ops, and condos) have stickers with the subscriber's name on them to avoid just such misunderstandings...which this obviously is.
Why our newspapers don't do this is a mystery.

In a matter you mentioned (but didn't explain clearly, for some reason)...What's the "thing" you were ranting about?

I apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the paper.

I still haven't heard back about "the thing".
I did hear from unregistered Property Manager Mara Feldman-Fox!
But, that's a story for tomorrow...


Tuesday's total for Fox Management Group's still-unpaid bill from July, 2008 (over three years ago!)...$650,136.15 from an original $75!    

They've broken the $600,000 level!Now that the 1% per workday cumulative late fee is over $6000, it's really mounting up, at a rate of $30,000+ a week!

It's 900 (NINE HUNDRED) late charges, and now the amount (with late fees) is over 2600 times the original bill...

Isn't that just pitiful?

But then, what can you expect from Mara Feldman-Fox, 

someone with only a bachelor's degree in accounting
and NO other accreditation, whatsoever?

She's not even registered as a property manager, 
as required by law!

I hope for her sake Mara's better with her library books and DVD rentals! 

But I doubt it... ;-)
