As to the invoice, it could (if ignored) be a way to put a lean on your home or some other nefarious move. Sounds suspiciously crooked to me.

Riddle answer is ,"a person".
That bill of $8.75 sounds interesting on many levels. Typical for electricians and plumbers, they bill roughly $85.00 to come to the house and then so much per job.
You come out ahead if you have them do several jobs, having covered the arrival charge.

That $8.75. It reminds me of a guy who was caught a few years ago. He would invoice major companies for small amounts. It was too expensive to research the bill and they would decide to just pay it.

Not worth fighting? Most would say a priority mail letter disputing the charge will cost roughly $6.00.
