My husband and I do not live together but are not divorced, he is claming to government agencies that out children live with him and not with me. He also lives with his pregnant girlfriend and they both have an income but does not report her. I do not know how to prove to these agencies that my children live with me. I recieve no government help but I do have a full time job. He has applied for food stamps and government insurance and has changed the childrens addresses at thier doctors office and school to his. When i try to change them back they say they need proof. I do not want to keep him from seeing his children. I am also not looking to get the benifits for myself, but I do not believe it is fair that he claims to the goventment that he is the sole parent. Is court the only way for me to get this straightened out?

Car Dealership fraud?

A just bought this new car and got a great price for it…agreed to the terms and signed the contract…so I thought…They put the paperwork in an enveloped and went home…3 weeks later I opened my envelope and the contract in the envelop was different than the one I signed but it had my signature… I called the dealership and they said a contract is a contract and that is it…. I remember when I asked the finance guy what is my final price and he circled the final price, but yet the one they gave me had no circle and the price went up 2000 more than I agreed… but I have no proof what can I do??? and they refuse to show me the original…
I would like to avoid getting a lawyer, so in short of getting one what can I do????

reporting social security fraud?

I’m probably being paranoid, but here goes anyways: I wanted to report my former employer for social security fraud. He lets his father-in-law and other employees clock in under two different SSNs so he won’t have to pay overtime. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. I know where to go to report the fraud. I can’t get into any trouble though, can I?

I hated my old job and my old employer and really wanted to report his illegal business practices.
and i have proof.

My Ex and I have been apart for over 4 years. My daughter lives with me and my husband. My ex was not supposed to claim her on his taxes because we fully support her. He pays about 0 a year in child support and my ex only sees her for less than a month combined each year by his choice. This year when we filed our taxes we found out that he claimed her and got the child tax credit for her. Now we are in legal trouble for claiming the child that we are entitled to. My ex knew that he was not supposed to claim her he was even told this by the accountant that he went to at HnR Block first to file his taxes but he went to another place and did it anyway. Now the amount has been deducted from our return and we have to show proof that she resides with us and we support her. What will happen to my ex when the IRS finds out he knowingly committed tax fraud? And will we ever see that money now?
We were never married and I never filed for sole custody. I also never went to child support. We had made an agreement between us on the support amount. We live in NY and he lives in Virginia. I wanted to keep things peaceful for my daughter. I do have school records and medical proof that she resides with us for 95% of the year though.
My husband and I have a personal accountant that has handled his family taxes for a few generations. We discussed claiming her last year before we were married and we were told that we have every right to claim her. My ex went to an accountant as well last year and was told the same thing but he claimed her anyway. We do keep records of support paid also.
Re: loves christmas lights
My husband and I were living together but not not married last year so we could not file jointly and claim her at that time!
Vb our income well exceeded 000 and we had already filed our taxes and were waiting for the return when we did not receive it our accountant investigated why and found out that my ex claimed her. We did receive a portion of our federal return but not the amount we were entitled to

I work in a doctors office, and when patients do not show up in the office for their appointment, the doctor still bills out the insurance as if they came. I mean he goes as far as posting specifics about what he did in the appointment. I don’t think he can do this, can he?
Thank you, do I need proof? is it a HIPAA Violation to give specific dates and names to the Investigators?

a while ago, i had fraud with my checkings account. People’s bank determined that the fraud was NOT my fault, and they credited my account. i do not have people’s bank anymore FYI. so a couple days ago, i got a letter saying that they determined that the fraud was my fault, and that i need to give them their money back. i do not understand how they could first determine the fraud was not my fault and credit my account, and then tell me it is my fault and that i owe them money. this has never happened to me, so what should i do? i am 100% positive they do not have proof of me scamming them. should i sue them for bothering me like this? how much could i get? can a lawyer help me out?

also, they are saying that if they do not get their money within a certain date listed in the letter, they will be in contact with the police, and they have listed what they will charge me with (illegal use of ATM, larceny, etc). i am 100000% innocent. i do not even know how to scam a bank into giving me money. i didnt even know thats possible.

any advice? because i am 10000000% innocent. i know this because if they look at the survellience cameras at the ATM’s used to debit my account, they will certainly NOT see me.

Fake scenes, spending the night in a hotel after claiming to sleep in the wild, etc? What do you think? They found some proof, but Bear is claiming that some of this is not true and that he can explain. Should be interesting. He is on holiday with his family according to his blog. I wonder what his excuse will be? I really love his show! I’m disappointed but want to wait and see what he has to say ….so are these allegations just bull, or do you think he’s truly a fraud?

Why else would they back down when people refuse orders until they see the real birth certificate.

WND has reported that the controversy raises the prospect that the government ultimately may not want to pursue a prosecution because a defense attorney could demand in court proof that the orders are issued by an eligible president.

Even participants in a forum on the left-leaning Huffington Post website seemed to agree in part.

"Freakin’ Brilliant!" said one. "They can’t court-martial him [without] the defense getting the judge to order the the (sic) birth-certificate be produced! Either Obama will have to produce or they can’t prosecute. Genius." ….

…the case of (Major Stefan) Cook, the reservist who challenged his deployment orders over questions about their legality under Obama.

"Rather than contesting the suit," Day wrote, "the Army took the highly peculiar step of revoking the major’s deployment order, suggesting that the Pentagon generals are not entirely confident that they can demonstrate the legitimacy of their purported commander in chief.

"The Pentagon’s decision to back down rather than risk exposing Obama’s birth records to the public means that every single American soldier, sailor, pilot and Marine now holds a ‘get out of war free’ card. Not only every deployment order, but every order issued from an officer in the line of command can now be challenged in the knowledge that the top brass are afraid to respond for fear that their commander could be exposed for a fraud," he wrote at the time. …

I have filed a motion to have my child support reduced based on being unemployed, having another child and now getting a job(K less). The hearing has was extended 2x and I luckily was able to secure a lower paying job after being unemployed for almost 2 months. I have filed a complete CIS and now my ex-wife has submitted one claiming she works 40 hrs but does not receive any pay but receives rent subsidy. Well, she works for her family’s company, gets paid atleast 0/week cash and lives with her parents. Isn’t this tax fraud by all parties if they are not reporting it? Could I request a IRS audit? She also has 2 ssn. Can that be brought up? Reported? Isn’t she required to show proof of all that she claims with respect to income??

I did not claim a lawsuit in my bankruptcy as (a) I had not be qualified as a plaintiff at the time of the bankruptcy; (b) I was not guaranteed any moneys if I was qualified.

Almost a year after the bankruptcy was finished with, I was told that I would be getting some money. The check was made out to myself AND my lawyer.

When I went to get the check, he told me that he had to inform the trustee. The trustee wanted the ACTUAL CHECK – not a copy.

After 90 days, and I hadn’t heard anything, I called the person who issued the check. The check HAD BEEN CASHED on Feb 23rd. I was not notified. I had not signed the check. I had not given verbal or written agreement to sign the check over.

The check was not payable to the trustee or the the US Bankruptcy court. I feel fraud was involved. I have no idea where the money is.
I need to be able to find proof, such as information from a website, documentation.

There was nothing in the paperwork I signed at the time of the bankruptcy that gave permission for the court or the trustee to seize the check and cash it WITHOUT INFORMING ME FIRST!

Over the years I’ve been paying child support arrears. I’ve provided proof that I made payments directly to mother as we agreed. Mother filed for welfare and received while also getting direct child support from me. The courts received on numerous occassions proof of monies paid to mother. However, they said that I’m still responsible for all monies she received from the state. I’ve even filed a fraud case with welfare and given a case number as well as name of investigator. Miraculously, both the welfare and d.a. lost all proof and no case file had ever been filed under my name. Needless to say, I’m frustrated and don’t understand why a father who is/and has always been there for his son is being ripped by the system and dead-beat dads are home free. And worst yet, how some mothers are able to manipulate the system and nothing happens to them. To be able to receive welfare in two different counties at the same time is mind boggling. Any ideals or opinions?

Child Support advice needed.?

I’ve a 16yo daughter. I had custody of this child until she was 15yo. I went thru CSEA for support & received nothing. I discovered that when she was 13yo that I’m probably not her father. I got a divorce & instead of raising her as a single parent in the army deploying all the time I gave up custody & started to make support payments. Soon I was getting letters from CSEA & a support order was given to me increasing my support payments a extra . Which is no biggie. However while the CSEA process was going. I moved to Hawaii & was in & out of the country on duty often. CSEA didn’t have my correct address & there was a delay in the info getting to me. Support to my daughter was NEVER interrupted no matter where I was. However the CSEA wanted to be paid directly (which I wasn’t informed) & after two months they garnished my pay & my taxes. For 15 years I didn’t get a dime from her mother & then when things change they drop the hammer on me in 60 days. Even though I have proof of support & despite the fact they didn’t have the correct contact info & I was out of country on duty. To this day I’m considered behind 0. CSEA stands fast that everything was done correctly they’ve heard me out seen my evidence & basically I was told to shut up & color. The money that has been taken so far. I’ve been told it will be between me & the custodial parent on getting that back (yea right). So here’s what I want to do.

1) Establish paternity this is a BIG problem in today’s time. My name is on the birth certificate but I have a problem giving the money I worked hard for to a liar & a whore. That will always be my daughter & she’ll get whatever she wants but I wanted to be on my terms. I know this is a uphill battle but paternity fraud is plain wrong.

2) I want my back child support back. When I followed up I was told the case was closed.

3) I want my money back that was garnished by CSEA. It was not my fault CSEA had the wrong contact info. I’ve always supported & I have proof of that in every form. I as a soldier & a veteran & I shouldn’t have to worry about getting screwed every time I deploy. Which is what happen.

4) I need legal representation however I’ll probably pay 10x that in legal fees. I just can’t accept the fact when I know I’m right. Is there a IG process w/ the agency? Can I contact my congressman. I really don’t know at this point. I really don’t wanna believe this but I am a father & that seems to have a impact on the whole thing.

Additional info:

My daughter’s bio mom wasn’t in the picture because she’s unfit.
I was married & when I say divorce & single parrent after 15 years. I refering to my daughters step-mother.
My daughter is in the custody of her grandmother.
@ Truth Hurts
I’ve always paid & never had a reason to suspect the CSEA would be after me like some deadbeat parent. I can’t keep people updated if I don’t know what’s going on.

what will happen I have no money for lawyer?

I was arrested the other day for theft and mail fraud. My husband and I are currently separated and couple weeks ago I drove by my old apartment to see if I had any mail in the mail box the his insurance sent him a check for 253.00 dollars which I took thinking he would never miss it. I cashed the check at our bank because we have a shared checking account. The other day the sheriffs department came to my new apartment and said they have a warrant for my arrested. The warrant was for theft and mail fraud. After spending hours in our county jail I was released on a very high bail.
When in court if I plead guilty will I go to jail or prison?
what is the difference in jail and prison?
I know it sounds like I just giving up but I don’t have the money to hire a lawyer and just figured since they know I took the check out of his mail box and have proof I cashed it it would just be easier to go on and plead guilty and go from there.

Ok Some of you may have seen this question before, but the details of the situation have changed since it was last asked.

My friend re-homed a dog for her aunt who didn’t have time to care for a puppy because her hours at work changed, to this woman for 0 under contract that said if for any reason she could not or no longer chose to care for the dog, that she would return him to her. 6 weeks after she sold the puppy, she saw an add online with a picture of the puppy that the woman had sent to her. the add said that the puppy was being sold for 0 or trade for a female puppy. When my friend called her and asked about the add, she assured she wasn’t selling the puppy that "someone had just used her picture because the dog they’re selling probably looks like hers" Which is nonsense.

So I used my email to reply to the add and sure enough it was her who replied back. She changed the puppies name but the description matches to a T. I took a screenshot of all the emails she’s sent me and my friend has all the emails, photos, contract (that she admits she acknowledges verbatim in an email) and everything ready.

We went to her house today. I went as the "buyer" and she came along as well. As soon as she opened the door, my friend told her to either give the puppy back and she would reimburse her 0 or she would get the police involved and take her to court. She took the court option because she claimed we "tricked" her and that’s "fraud" and that the court doesn’t look at e-mails as a form of proof for anything.

And she said that if my friend wanted to buy the dog back she would have to pay 0 which is more than she’s asking others to pay.

NOTE* In her adds she says that her landlord said she has to downsize which is why she is selling the puppy. but why would she want a female in exchange if she had to downsize? I know she didn’t buy the puppy with the intention to re-sell it but now that she is getting rid of him she doesn’t want to sell him back because she wants more than what she paid for him.

What kind of lawyer would she need to take her to court?
Please note that she realizes it’s costly but it isn’t about the money to her, it’s about getting the puppy back and making sure he has a good life. She doesn’t want him going from home to home and now even though her aunt can’t, she is ready to take care of this puppy.
Sheri- thank you so much for all of that information, it truly served as reassurance :D

Should I report possible fraud?

Someone I know may be commiting fraud and not reporting all her income to the agencies. This woman "Joan" was a partner in a small business, but nothing was in her name so she received cash under the table. The business fell through within months. Then she got another job on payroll until she had surgery and now claims she can no longer work. So currently while she’s waiting on her disability claim she gets different government assistance such as food stamps,etc. This woman claims to not have money and is unemployed, but yet just spent over 00 cash on christmas presents for her kids, has bank cd’s, her parents give her money, gets child support, her lover gives her money every month and on and on. Most unemployed people can’t spend 00’s on frivilious things. This woman applies for benefits even though she doesn’t need it and is not reporting all her monies.If you have 00 for shopping sprees, then why the hell is she on foodstamps. It is unfair and takes way from others who truly need it. This person brags and brags about what she gets to me, this is how I found out. I have no proof of any of this and only know what she tells me. She may also be stretching the truth, too. I don’t know. All I know is if you have monies coming from everywhere and still get assistance, then I know she isn’t reporting everything she should. Especially her small business that wasn’t in her name this year. In order to get assistance you must have limited money and her money ain’t limited.

Is This Employer Tax Fraud?

After having waited an eternity to receive my w2 from an old employer, I found that a few things seemed a little fishy about it.

Namely: the tax with-held for my pay was not the minimum that is withheld in the state of Illinois. No where near the 20% that it should have been.

When I was first employed with the "company", I filled out a w4. On it I requested that an additional 10% be withheld from each pay check.

Me and my fellow worker were paid with personal checks only, and didn’t receive any pay-stubs or documentation telling us how much was withheld from each paycheck.

I asked the employer, via certified mail, for a copy of my w4 and documentation proving paycheck to paycheck that taxes were withheld. To which my past employer said via text message "I’m disappointed with your lack of respect". I’ve yet to receive anything in the mail from her.

Now, my questions are as follows…

Was my employer legally required to give me proof that taxes were withheld paycheck to paycheck as those paychecks were provided?

Am I within my rights to ask for copies of that proof, and a copy of my w4?

Must she, by law, provide me those things if I’ve asked for them? Or do I actually need a lawyer to help me obtain them?

And, if it does come down to me reporting her for tax fraud, will I be audited as well?

Please be thorough, and provide reasons for the explanations. It’s appreciated.

A few years ago, my girlfriend moved in with me. She was only 14 at the time with 2 younger sisters and had divorced parents. Her mom had custody whilst her dad paid child support (0 a week), for about the past 3 years. The whole reason she moved in with me is because her mom moved into a small apartment with her boyfriend and it only had 2 rooms. Her mom basically brought all my girlfriend’s stuff to my house one day and said she was allowed to move in, acting like she was doing us a favor.

Anyway, for the past 3 years her mom has been receiving child support for my girlfriend along with an additional amount to her food stamps. Her mom only has two kids living with her and claims on all her taxes/child support papers/food stamps that she still has 3. My girlfriend turns 18 later this year and her mom still has yet to give her any financial aid. We have tried asking her if she could just give us the child support amount meant for my girlfriend but her usual response is "I’m in debt and I have barely enough to get by this month", although that’s a lie because of all the things we have seen she has bought lately. So we were wondering if we could at least report her mom for fraud or somehow get the money returned back to her dad. Who would we have to call and what proof would we have to provide if this was an applicable case? I know she isn’t required by law to give any child support money to her daughters, but our main goal is just making sure her mom stops getting child support money that she doesn’t deserve.

Can I find a lawyer to sue my lawyer?

Can I sue my lawyer? I went to him to file a law suit against the school board when my child was stripped searched. In the consultation he told me the judge may request any money to be put in a trust fund.
He later called me & recommended that I settle for ,000, rather than spends years in court. I agreed & went to his office to sign the agreement & his bill for 40%. I never seen a judge. He called a few weeks later & told me to open a bank account with his bank so he can deposit the check. I opened an account that said my name in c/o my daughter. He deposited a check from him to my daughter. I never saw the schools boards check. Well the next day I made a withdraw to buy my daughter a computer & hoped to get her tutoring, she needs. The bank called me later & asked me to return the money because the lawyer had dropped off a court order saying he has power to put the mney in CD’s untill my daughter reaches majority.
I refused & requested a copy of the court order that I knew nothing of. The bank never sent it, took my name off the account & opened an account for me in the negative.
I searched online & found that the paperwork I signed was filed with an added request for him to have power to do this in the middle of the file, without my signature. I have no proof of the CD’s & the bank turned my case over to their fraud department. I cotacted the judge who responded with a letter saying she did what I wanted & I should contact my lawyer with questions. He don’t return my calls. My daughter is now in emotional support class & still needs help with her grades.
