I don't mean parking, I mean the following:

Bill Processing Fee $5.68

Stormwater $7.80

Water $18.92

Sewer $14.82

Gas $30.00

Trash Charges $8.00

And then on top of that a fucking "bill processing fee" of more than $5. And add in that you have to pay a fee if you pay by debit card ($7.95), credit card (3.75 percent), or even fucking check! ($0.95) - and they don't take cash.

Is this normal? For reference, it's PPM.

EDIT: The bill processing fee is $5.68, not the previously listed $568.

EDIT AGAIN: Just to be clear, I'm not asking about the legality of what they're doing. I'm sure a major company like PPM is going to have lawyers who read the law for them. I'm just asking if this weird way of billing is normal in Chicago. I lived in NYC for 12 years and never came across such a thing.
