Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Damn that is a fine looking truck!

 

Your Welcome

The fee is just another way of raising the cost.

If it's done online now, do they still send out some type of notification?

 

Gotta love “convenience fees”

what a scam

 

I got one in May.

 

All of ours last year I received a postcard and I mailed in with a check.
I didn't know if they changed the way of doing it.

 

Well, State Law states that the fee is "x", that's what the State Departments have to collect. Credit card companies charge a 2 1/2% or 3% transaction fee, which isn't built into State Law, so they have to charge the payee that fee and call it a "convenience fee". Regular businesses have that fee built into their price up front. Banks don't charge transaction fees for clearing checks, I suppose that's built into the cost of banking.

So, if you pay by check at the local store, you're getting charged that 'fee' even though the seller doesn't have to pay it.

 

Sometimes you can do a debit card or echeck to get around it. Although in Iowa they still charge you like $.50 for it..

There’s plenty of places that charge far more for “convenience”… Ticketmaster is more like 20-50% above the ticket price.

 

Ticketmaster is an 'extortion fee'...

 

I pay online for all my vehicles every year. You can enter in a check routing and account number and no extra fees. Done. Reminds me I have one sitting on the counter for my Odyssey.

 

I do my Missouri ones online and pay like $0.38 for a fee.

 

Saw my 1st cybertruck on the way home. (other than pics)

Giving the benefit of the doubt that photos don't serve justice, however, in this case they do.

Has to be thee most ridiculous vehicle I've laid eyes on.

 

Perfect ice and beautiful day to ice skate on the big lake...

 

I think I see one nearly every time I go somewhere

 

I see them daily because of work. They are fugly no matter what color they're wrapped in

 

Jealous... I want to be fishing!

Instead I'm just shopping for fishing gear. New pliers, jig case and a cordless drill 8" auger. I spend less money when I'm busy fishing, dammit.

 

You go fishing.

We'll take care of spending your money for you.

 

New calendar day!

Happy new year, everyone!

 

Thanks again, @Pixeltim for putting these together for us!
