     § 154.  Enforcement and collection.
        (a)  General rule.--
            (1)  The department shall not be required to receive or
        file any document or paper unless the same shall be
        accompanied by the proper fee, but the department may in its
        discretion permit the filing of any document or paper without
        first requiring payment of the fee required by this
        subchapter when satisfied that the fee will be paid promptly.
        If any such fee is not paid in the manner and within the time
        prescribed by regulation of the department, the filing to
        which such fee relates shall become void.
            (2)  With respect to filings under 13 Pa.C.S. Div. 9
        (relating to secured transactions), paragraph (1) is subject
        to 13 Pa.C.S. §§ 9516 (relating to what constitutes filing;
        effectiveness of filing) and 9520 (relating to acceptance and
        refusal to accept record).
        (b)  Extension of credit.--The department may make provision
     by regulation for the extension of credit to persons dealing
     with it. Any person who shall fail or refuse to satisfy any
     indebtedness owing to the Commonwealth under this subchapter in
     the manner and within the time prescribed by regulation adopted
     pursuant to this subsection shall pay to the Commonwealth, in
     addition to the principal amount of such indebtedness and
     interest thereon, liquidated damages in the amount of $500.
