I have a tale of woe to tell.
In the year 2000 I had not yet met my present wife and she didn't even visit Virginia that year.
In the year 2001 I had still not yet met my present wife and she spent the months of Febuary and March in Virginia.
A Week ago I find I can't make my house payment because Virginia has placed a lean on our account.
After eleven years they notice that taxes were filed in Virginia with a Virginia return adress for my wife but there were no W-2s submitted to the state dept of revenue.
So they made up a W-2 for her out of their imagination, it shows her earning minimum wage in Virginia for the entire year of 2000.
The burden of proof seems to be on her to prove she didn't earn a dime in Virginia that year. Unfortunately the store in Georgia that she worked for that year is out of business, Georgia has not saved w-2s that old her 2000 address is in her ex-husbands name for that year and her drivers license didn't require renewal that year.
We had been following the common wisdom that records older than seven years are not worth keeping, that turns out to not be true, I also thought that debts had to be proven , as it turns out when you are talking statre government you have to prove you dont' owe.
By the way, Bank of America places an $80 fee on you when they obey a lein, nonrefundable.
By the way again, my job needs security clearance, a few more leins and my credit score will be in negative numbers, not good for me at all.
Has anyone here ever had to prove that you spent a particular year in a particular place?
