Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
We have a house in City of Rosemead since about 1986 as an investment home and no one lives there. We have not had any trash service or contacted for their service. Over the years, we've received bills/past dues from from the trash company in which they then put a lien on the house. The city then sends us, by letter, a Release of Lien. It's been a cycle. Now city has written up a contract/deal for the trash company to service the city to be in effective next year. Where do we stand? We will pay for new service once Rosemead makes official but we do not believe in paying for previous where there were never service. Where do we stand?

It appears that the city has forgiven the past debt by release of the lien. I would suggest paying as you go forward. Interstingly, I just wrote a blog on this issue. Visit grennierlaw.com for the information. Thanks
