Base Upkeep Being Improperly Paid

Yesterday, I did the Hero Morality mission to change my Brute, Chernaya Molniya, from Rogue to Hero. Since the change, the character is, properly, unable to access the VG base. However, I am still getting the "Your supergroup owes..." messages, and out of curiosity, I went to Atlas Park, and discovered that -- while I can't use the base, and the base is somewhere in the Rogue Isles, the Paragon City Super Group Registrar in Atlas Park is perfectly willing to take my payment for the VG base upkeep.

This seems a bit odd. Not only should you not be able to pay VG base upkeep except to the contact in Port Oakes (and similarly for SG bases and the contact in Atlas), you shouldn't be able to pay upkeep for a base you no longer have the alignment to be able to use.

"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."
-- Bruce Leverett, Register Allocation in Optimizing Compilers

I hope the bug isn't fixed -- it lets me pay the base rent without being verbally abused.

I guess bill collectors or EOE in nature. ((I think this is a perk, not a bug... but that's my guess))

This is not a bug, this is a feature. A player requested feature.
