Straight TRASH I’ve been through so much stuff with them over last few months, have had to call 4 days in a row being told someone would investigate and call me back only to have to call yet again today to speak to a supervisor who now claims I was “issued reimbursement check “ from probation and that I did not have a zero balance despite what it shows online- this place is a joke Why does this state continue to employ these people????

Judici is complicated, throws out info asked and makes you start over from the beginning. Pay another way if you can. I hope I never have to deal with the lack of support from these people again.
