   Still lots in arrears (53 delinquency notices sent in June vs 91 in April), but consistency of delinquency notice and consequences will payoff over the next few months. One new payment plan was countered, awaiting home owner acceptance after holiday. Those self-opting out of fines and collection fees will continue to get delinquency notices and charges as these are hard costs.
