If you choose to go anyway, these should be the only words that should come out of your mouth....
Can I use the surety of the person to settle this public debt, or am I automatically surety in this matter because I have shown the driver's licence ?
If your answer is that I am automatically surety because I have shown the driver's licence, I will pay right away.
If your answer is, yes I can use the surety of the person, I will transform this remittence into a completed bill of exchange, and will send it to you asap.
PUSH THEM TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION as hard as you can.....if they don't understand, they are simply incompetent, so ask them to bring someone who is competent :D
