Debt Notice Worth Wess than Postage
KARLSTAD, Sweden (UPI) -- A Karlstad, Sweden, woman said she received a notice from the Swedish state collections agency for a debt worth less than the postage on the envelope. The woman said she received notice of a 62-cent penalty for failing to pay her motor vehicle tax on time, The Local reported. Anna Jansson of the Swedish Enforcement Authority's Karlstad branch office said notifications of minor debts can be beneficial to recipients. "If someone has a debt it goes on their permanent record, and such matters can be good to know about," she said. Jesper Bergqvist, an official with the authority's main office in Stockholm, said the agency lobbied unsuccessfully in 2001 for authority to overlook debts less than $8.
