They continue to pay you until your contract is up and then demand the money back 3 years later.
Yeah that is the short version.
While M was inside he continued to get paid even though he should not have been. We talked to the lawyer, we contacted the Air Force. We talked to everyone we could but he continued to get paid. Once his contract was up, the payments stopped. We threw our hands up and said mkay, we did everything we could to figure it out. We heard nothing.
Fast forward to M being home for 2 years and off contract for 3 and now they want their money back. And not just the money they paid, but they have tacked on 3% interest for the past 3 years. They have had his contact information for 3 years! And suddenly they expect him to pay a lump sum of 55,000 or 1500 every month for the next 3 years.
He makes 23,000 a year. After his expenses he has less than $500 left every month. He still lives with us because he can't afford a house or apartment.
Gotta love the government. When they want to screw you they do it in a big way.
I just cannot believe it.... Well yes, I can. Is there a Legal Aid service in your area that he can contact. Given his low resources they may be able to take him as a client.
ReplyDeleteHe was able to fill out a hardship request and get the monthly payments down. But they still want it all paid off in 3 years and they keep adding interest. Gotta love it.
