His father Jean-Louis Libioulle had died less than 24 hours before Julien discovered a letter from the municipal administration inviting his father to pay… 2 cents. Since then, he’s been pissed. Not for the complaint but because it happened while the family was in mourning.
“My father died of a cardiac arrest last Monday morning,” explains his son Julien Libioulle. “I was the first at his house, before the emergency services. I tried cardiac massage because I took first aid courses .” But nothing worked. Jean-Louis Libioulle’s family has always lived in Wasseiges. “My dad was quite a famous person,” explains the son. The day following the death, Tuesday, Julien’s partner discovered a letter sent by the municipal administration. The father had paid his trash bill. But apparently he had made a mistake and the Commune was demanding it from him. A mistake of two cents… “My dad wasn’t very “new technology”, explains Julien. He went to pay his bills at the bank and noted on it that the payment was made.” There, he was probably wrong by €0.02. When the son discovered the mail sent by the Commune, he was shocked. Not that he was asked for the money but that this letter arrived the day following his father’s death. And he got excited regarding it on social networks…
Yes, the mail fell “badly”, just the day following the death of the Wasseigeois. But as Mayor Thomas Courtois, who has also contacted Julien Libioulle, explains, such a sending is done automatically. “I’m really sorry regarding the situation. It’s IT… Everything is done automatically.” The mail didn’t even make it through the hands of the financial director. Yes, the postage stamp cost more than the amount claimed. However, this is not the only claim made. “This happens very often. Few people pay on the first bill…” But “it’s unfortunate, this should not have happened…”
