What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia.
I received a letter from child support division stating there was a case against me in Albany, GA which I do not live nor know anyone there. I called and it was revealed that the person has the same name as me but a different SSN. I was told to disregard letter and should not get anything else from them. Fast forward about 6 months and I get another letter stating I'm $61K behind and they are going to intercept my tax refunds. I called again and was told they would forward the information to correct. I then called back after some thought. I wanted to ask for a letter of apology and explanation. I was then told I have to prove my identity and address to attempt to get error corrected.
This is ridiculous. I have to jump through hoops to correct THEIR mistake. It has caused stress in my marriage. What legal recourse do I have? I'm looking over my shoulder now wondering if the police will decide to come arrest me because someone else owes back child support.
Sorry this is long winded. I'm really worried about this. Thanks
