this may be boring as all hell to y'all... but i am writing anyway...
so i took a few minutes (like 20) out of my morning to try and get this EFFING tax crap (note my eloquent use of the english language right now... the taxman has knocked it all out of me)
so i call. i wait on hold. then there is life...
some old broad named "Elenor"
me: 'hi, i was calling to see what can be done about a notice i received'
elenor: "i don't know anything about any notice"
me: 'well, let me tell you who i am and my social security number'
elenor: "what notice?"
me: 'um... i received a notice from a collection agency and...'
elenor: "why are you calling here?"
me: 'i called there already and they told me to call here since i am feeling that the information on someone's end is wrong'
elenor: "you should really talk to them"
me: 'i DID. what i want to know is why - first of all - i never received any notice from the Dept. of Taxation itself at my apartment and now there is a collection agency that sent mail to an address that i haven't lived at for 8 years. and secondly, i want to know how exactly you figure i OWE $1492.00 for 2001?'
elenor: "hold on. what is your social security number?"
me: XXX-XX-XXXX
(2 minutes of holding as the old bat rummages through my file)
elenor: "i don't know. it says here that you live at XXX york street... that's not where the letter was mailed? it says they changed the address on the 27th of january"
me: '*sigh* i had spoken to the collection agency on monday - the 27th - and made them change my info - i don't know why you people don't have the right address since i have paid taxes at this address for the past 6 years and at another address for the 2 years prior'
elenor: "well, i don't know about that"
me: 'i filed my taxes online last year'
elenor: "well, i don't know about that"
me: 'well, i am telling you so that you know that i filed my taxes online last year'
elenor: "well, i don't know about that... it says here that you emailed someone here saying that you may have made a mistake"
me: yes. and i faxed my w-2 and the other papers to you last april'
elenor: "well, i don't know about that...it doesn't say you faxed them"
me: 'i faxed them... you didn't get them? and now without ANY contact i am getting collection notices sent to an address other than my own'
elenor: "well, i don't know"
me: 'WELL, ELENOR, YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH, DO YOU!?!?!?!'
