Eric Diffenbaugh has asked me to write you concerning the $27,964.51 you have
owed him since September 2008. In July 2008 he completed the Final Subdivision Plan
for Thomas H., Jr. and Becky S. McElwee, which plan has been submitted, approved
and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for Cumberland County.
The cost of this plan was $24,991.00. On September 8, 2008, he sent you Invoice 3499
in the amount of $25,365.87, which included finance charges of $374.87. On June 27,
2009, Eric sent you invoice 3599 in the amount of $27,416.19, which included the
delinquent amount plus charges for setting the property corners for your seven lots, plus
additional finance charges on the delinquent balance. Most recently, Eric sent you
invoice 3631 in the amount of $27,964.51, which includes the delinquent balances plus
additional finance charges.
Not only have you not made even a partial payment against your debt, but you
have not even contacted him to arrange to resolve the debt. This is not acceptable.
Please contact me immediately or send a check in the amount of $27,964.51 to
my attention at the address referenced above. If I do not hear from you within ten days
of the date of this letter, I will recommend to my client that he institute legal action.
So that further action is not necessary, please call me today.
Sincerely,
James M. Robinson, Esquire
