10. Omgosh, I get that unpaid toll threat sporadically form IL

Haven't lived in IL in about 8yrs now, and my IPAS was auto pay. lol yep, going to suspend my Oregon license, etc... One was I need to send payment immediately, or face immediate court action!

I've blocked and all that, but they keep coming. It's been about 2 months since the last threat. Lately it's been SS scam stuff, but through paper mail. Pink inserts! lol

Man, this bs is running hot and deep on anyone considered a senior. There's got to be a way Congress can get these scams off our backs. Plus, the fraudulent advantage bs. Supplemental rip-off and having to constantly reevaluate.

We're caregivers and now expected to be insurance experts, lawyers, etc...

Give us a break! Pass some damn legislation that helps us take care of elderly who are taking care of older elderly! Ugh. So, frustrating
