Update on scam
Posted By matt on January 28, 2009
In regards to this, it wasn't a scam. I do owe the town money, they say that is all the money that I owe them, and the reason I never got it is because they sent it to the old address and somehow it never was forwarded on. Of course, according to state law, I am responsible for not getting it, not them, and I should have contacted the tax collector.
Thus, I have paid the money owed.
Now, I would love to write a letter to someone if I thought it would do any good, but what really needs to happen is that RI law needs to be changed to describe a better way (like repeatedly contacting someone who hasn't paid their taxes). However, since I no longer live there, writing a representative or senator from RI is likely futile, and the state doesn't have a “Tax ombudsman” that I can find.
Any suggestions as to whom might actually be able to do something about the problem?
