Man tries to pay water bill with toilet paper check
Comments 0 | Recommend 0An 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.
Ron 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.
