Re: Need off topic help

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

How about a copy of your income tax return(s)?   I know in the U.S. you file 
a return with Washington, the state in which you live, the state in which 
you work (sometimes) and even the county in which you live (in some areas). 
You have kept your returns for past number of years, pull out the earliest 
you have since you moved to Florida.  That should be proof you moved from 
Connecticut.  If the I.R.S. cannot be trusted to vouch for your whereabouts, 
who can you trust!

As someone else said, deal with the pencil-pushers in Connecticut, not the 
collection agency - although keep them abreast of your actions.

And if you really want to stir up a hornet's nest, write up a nice little 
letter detailing all your problems and send it off to the press back in CT. 
Many newspapers just love getting the lowdown on underhanded dealings in the 
government and its departments.  I have a gut feeling you are not the only 
ex-Connecticut resident getting fleeced.
