Since we're venting about FRO...
My husband got a letter a month or so ago stating he's $3,000+ in arrears. (My stepson's mom submitted a "sworn" statement claiming this was the case.)
He replied, in writing, that this is NOT the case.
FRO sent another letter about 2 weeks later stating that if he doesn't pay, they will take enforcement actions.
My husband replied, in writing, that he has already addressed the issue, attached the original letter, and provided email statements from my stepson's mom indicating that SHE had requested that FRO not take enforcement action, as my husband needs his driver's license in order to maintain his job (which involves driving, and one of the conditions of his position is to have a valid driver's license) and to have access to his son.
FRO has not responded.
My husband has called, and been left on hold for so long that he eventually had to hang up. (People do have day jobs, which FRO seems to forget.) He has left messages, but none have been answered.
So, we continue to sit and wait... to see what next they will throw our way.
Meanwhile, my husband is dragging his feet to file his taxes because FRO sent a garnishee summons to Revenue Canada... planning to send his entire tax return to his son's mother - based on inaccurate statements of arrears. Go figure!
FRO is ridiculous... it's a waste of tax payer's money... and yet many (not all) support recipients won't consider withdrawing from it - such as my stepson's mother, who up until her whimsical run into FRO's arms, was receiving timely and accurate child support directly from my husband, and now refuses to believe that it's FRO that is messing up, and continuously blames my husband for trying to avoid child support payments, when the payments come late or in the wrong amount. Go figure!
