As in the wheels of city hall.
This is a very long story. The Cliff's Notes version is many years ago, Pat put his boat into his buddy, Eric's name, so he could keep it on Lake Wildwood. The bill came for the unsecured property taxes for the trailer and somehow Eric misplaced it. The dang thing finally went to a lien before WE got the bill. I paid it - get this - $53 and change back in 1997.
We've been trying to get this stupid lien off our credit for 13 years. Seems the folks in Nevada County weren't really interested. It came up when we refinanced our house, when we bought investment property and when Eric sold his home and bought another.
Each time I provided Nevada County a copy of the front and back of the canceled check. No dice - no one wanted to talk to us.
Today we got a call from a title company asking about this - I have a copy of the check - have had a copy I can lay my hands on for YEARS!
I'm not really sure why this is an emergency all of a sudden, but apparently if I e-mail a copy of said check to this nice woman at the title company up there, it'll all go away.
I'll be glad to get this cleared up - it's been bugging me forever!

PS. Since Pat owned the boat in 1998 we apparently owe for that year. Taxes and penalties add up to $198 and change. Argh. It would've been nice if Nevada County had sent us a bill over a decade ago!
