IMPORTNT AOS FEE BILL QUESTION!

[kim-786 0]

AOS Fee bill says , do not Photocopy. Some people have sent their payments and NVC still have not process them. I am thinking if I make a copy now, and same happens to me, I could get a refund for my money order and send them again if they misplace my payment, but I am confused because the bill says do not make photocopy. What do you folks think?

Did anyone made a copy and their payment went through. I am thinking that they use the scanner to scan the barcode and may be that scaner tells them whether someone copy it or not OR may be it could not scan because someone copies. I am confused.

I am sorry folks, but I just do not want to get stuck in this NVC process. please shed some light on this topic. Thank you and good luck to all!! Regarsd kim!!

We did our AOS fee bill ourselves using James' shortcuts and it went thru just fine. We didn't photocopy our IV bill and it was a mistake in the sence that we ended up waiting for like 36 days for it to be cashed.

What comes to the "do not copy part" I don't think that there's any way they could tell if the note has been photocopied or not. When a photocopy is made it is made using a bright light around the same brightness as a neon tube/luminescent tube/fluorescent tube (I'm not sure what these are called in English, but something like that). As far as I know chemistry, I don't think there could be anything on the paper which could be destroyed by using this kind of light once upon it. Even if there were, the paper goes thru the USPS and everyone knows how badly the USPS treats mail (and everything else for that matter). Furthermore the NVC couldn't tell if the paper had been photocopied or just been close to a neon tube if there would be something breakable on the paper.

So my opinnion is that you can copy or scan the bill and it does no harm to it or your case.

I think the do-not-copy message is there precisely so that you can't send in another payment while waiting for the first one to get posted. In your case, if you'd sent another payment with a copy, eventually they would have processed both, and I don't think they would have returned the second check or refunded your money after it was accepted (your penalty for not following directions). The payments go to a lockbox operation in St. Louis, which is a basically a payment processing service. Whether notification of the payments received happens by electronic transmission (fax, email, etc) or mailing the paper coupons to NH, and whether payment is deposited before or after it is posted to the case by NH, I don't know, but I'm trying to find out through FOIA. I don't think there is any forensics going on, because if there is any irregularities, the threat is only, "failure to use this coupon will cause a delay in the processing of your case."

Yeah. Our plan was to send in a second copy, wait for either one to be cashed and cancel the cheque that wasn't (by calling the bank, see which one they have cashed and cancel the one that they hadn't). It was our mistake not to copy the bill. Rather sad really, since it would have saved us some two weeks at least. Oh well... luckily we're almost thru the whole NVC now .
