Ronald Borgna’s check — written on two-ply toilet paper — was rejected Wednesday for an outstanding water bill. Debt “drains” resident
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. | An upstate New York man embroiled in a dispute over his water bill is not being allowed to pay off his debt with a check written on toilet paper. Ronald Borgna tried to settle his $2,509.66 bill with a check written on floral print, two-ply toilet paper Wednesday.
The disagreement began in September 2006 when Borgna received a $422.90 water bill. Borgna claims he was overbilled. With additional charges, penalties and late fees that bill has grown.
Binghamton city officials refused to accept the check. After a short argument, Borgna was escorted out of the building.
Borgna says he is appealing the judgment against him in small claims court.
LMAO.....I think that this gives new meaning to not being worth the paper it is written on....Although, it being funny, I think that this is stupid.....
