Very disappointed that all the extra fee were added on. With increased prices on everything, it's a terrible thing to do! I am on a fixed income an had to quit my job because of Covid. The extra fees are very upsetting. It will be paid but know that I think you are very cold hearted and after one thing, the mighty dollar. Shame on you!
