horst Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 ive spent the better part of the week getting the paperwork ready for a house loan, its been approved and was expected to go through early next week.One of the conditions of the loan was my child support be brought up to current.No problem, I wasnt behind very far anyway, missed a few payments during the last few months of my wifes pregnancy and when we were running Joey around the state but I wasnt much behind, or so i thought. I had extra money borrowed to try to get most of my debts consolidated onto one monthly payment, which was going to pay everything off anfd save me a bundle of money every month.I told the bank to go ahead and take part of the money and send directly to child support to speed things up and get rid of a lot of paperwork. the mortgage lady calls me and tells me my child supports behind by about 2400$ and its wayt more then I reported to them. I cant believe this si i get on the internet and look at my account, my tax return which was sent to them this spring, and which I thought along with my monthly payments had things pretty much current wasnt shown.I called them, they dont know anything about it. This was Tuesday of this week.I start putting 2 and 2 together and it dawns on me, they did the same thing last year.The federal returns arent given to iowa, theyre sent straight to Montana where my kid lives.It got so far outta hand last year they took my drivers license over money theyd already recieved and that had been sitting there for 2 months.Once again Montana didnt tell iowa they recieved the money.Iowa reprts to a collection agency and all the paperwork I get comes from Montana, Ive been screwed for the better part of a year and wasnt even aware of it.According to Montana Im caught up more or less, according to Iowa Im 2400$ behind, Iowa never even notifies me im supposedly this far behind. At this point its only tuesday like I said, the loan doesnt go through till next Tuesday or Wed.I call Iowa, explain what happened, ask em to get it straightened out and call me back.Yesterday Id heard nothing back, I called them, theyd not even looked into it yet.I get pretty upset at this point and tell em to call Montana.I call em back last night, they left a message in Montana but havent heard nothing.I call em again this morning, they still havent heard anything and havent tried calling again.I finally call Montana myself, theyre very friendy but misunderstand what I need done, instead of contacting Iowa they sent me a letter out this afternoon that may or may not get here by the time the loan goes through.I call em back tonight, a whole office full of people sitting there and the only one thats "authorized to call" iowa is gone till Monday morning.So I leave another voice mail, Iowas made very little effort to help me out and dont seem interested one way or the other.Im so mad now Ive got a migrane, all i need is someone to make a two minute phone call and fax me a paper, and its all staightend out.Apparently that is to much to ask.To make that worse this is on my credit report which the bank looked at when they set my interest rate, if it had been reported properly Id be paying a much lower rate since that and one other thing were the only 2 bad things in there.Now the paperworks done, the lawyers are ready to sign and child supprts gonna be getting a big xchunk of money thats already been promised to another company if this dont get straightend out.**** with it, im going huntin.

VTbowman Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Re: They did it to me again I hear ya bro. I am in the same boat every freakin month! I work for a sub-contractor that is out of Dallas TX, for a contractor fron Japan that works here in Vermont. The payroll is out of Virginia and its a hand written check. So Vermont tells them (Dallas) they have to pay Vermont directly so then the Vermont dept of Support Enforcement can pay the Louisiana Dept of Child Support. Which then they pay my X-wife. For some reasom LA will not accept any sort of payment from me directly, it has to be threw VT's office. So by the time my check is cut and my employer pays VT, and then VT pays LA, it normally gets there at the beginning of the following month. Sometime at the very end of the month. Well when it gets there at the beginning of the next month, the month before is listed as being late and charges are tacked on. And its listed as arrears. (late C.S. payments) For example: Even though the check is labled for August payment. If they receive it in Sept then LA says thats the payment for Sept, and August payment is late. Real stupid and NOTHING I can do about it!!!! My credit is being crushed over this and I have sought legal advice. But since its a LA support case that VT is under orders to assist in payment collection, I'd need lawyers in 2 states at thousands of dollars. Which I obviously do not have. Oh and any type of tax return gets deverted to any arrears I have too. I don't even want to get into that! I make sure I have to pay in each year (Income taxes) so "they" dont get there grubby little hands on it. Beside I need the money throughout the year... Oh did I mention its $600 per month for 1 kid. Child Support is an invention straight out of Haides I am sure of it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: They did it to me again Alas, leave it to the government to mess things up and add two separate governments together and along with poor or lack of communications between the two, bingo. It will all be worked out and hopefully soon. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Thats the crazy part buckee, Ive got a letter right here from the Dept of treasury stating the money was paid, the date t was paid on, and the amount that was paid on it.Nobody will even look at it.They will only believe it if Montana confirms they recieved it.It wouldnt be to bad but last year they did the same thing and t resulted in legal action against me I went 8 months without my drivers license over it.Hows that for common sense, take a guys license so he cant work then dont give it back untill he pays it off in full by going to the job he cant get to The fact I got my license back oughta be proof enough everything was paid up LMAO.

buckee Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: They did it to me again You'd think there would be a little more cooperation between agencies when it comes to information sharing. Sounds as bad as the secret service agencies, failing to share valuable information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
