That reminds me of an old phone bill. I had the line disconnected when I moved. I paid the last bill and thought I was done. Nope. I got a new bill for $0.13 about a month later. It cost them more than the debt in postage (yes even the metered kind). I didn't want to pay it on principal that it would cost me more in postage than it would to pay the bill (plus I would have had to waste a check which weren't free). Not to mention, I wanted to see how many times they would send me a bill for $0.13. Total, twice. I'm guessing at some point either a human being figured it wasn't worth it and cancelled it, or their computer software was updated to negate any bill under the cost of postage.
