Evil Comptroller

OK. I don't normally do this. This is part of my personal life, but I'm mad as hell, and I want everyone to know about these assholes.

Today in the mail I recieved a notice that the MVA has put a hold on renewing my driver's license and vehicle registration because the Comptroller of Maryland ordered them due, because I owe them back taxes. I owe them back taxes because my ex-wife was violently abusive, and I have told them this several times. I am now only able to get social security disability. I am not in a position to pay anyone anything, especially debts I did not cause.

I immediately emailed the Comptroller:

Hello,

Today - 22 December 2011 - I received in the mail a letter from the
Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration informing me that they will no
longer process my driver's license renewal and vehicle registration.
This letter stated that this order was effective as of 1 June 2011. This
is the first notification I have received regarding this hold.

I have informed the Comptroller of Maryland multiple times that I am
permanently disabled due to deafness and have not been able to find a
job since 2006 due to discrimination. I have in fact been told to me
face by a certain employer they were reluctant to hire me because of my
disability - a blatant violation of the law. That's how bad it is. My
sole source of income is social security disability. In addition, I have
informed the Comptroller that I was severely abused by my ex-spouse and
am not responsible for this debt occurring the way it did. None of which
the Comptroller responded to except to demand payment.

If I am deaf and the only money I am able to get is social security -
which I had to fight for like a rabid badger - what makes you think I am
in a position to simply hand over any money?

Since you people have made it clear that you have no capacity for
listening to reason, I will forgo any further niceties and say this: you
will release this hold or I will proceed to fight this in any way I can,
and I will tell all publications who will run the story that the
Comptroller abuses Maryland residents with disabilities by further
limiting their lives when they have little or no financial resources. I
will also attempt to seek pro-bono legal assistance. I have done nothing
to deserve this behavior from you and it will not be tolerated.

Mr. Moody

I absolutely could not resist, upon receiving a confirmation email form the Comptroller, adding:

And by the way, happy holidays. Yeah, right. Smooth timing, people. Perhaps you'd like to hunt some baby seals while you're at it?

I am doing the best I can to give myself time to breathe, but honestly, this is all getting to be too much. If this ends up dragging on and I cannot renew my license or keep my car, I fear I am going to engage in civil disobedience by continuing to drive and ultimately getting arrested. I always drive conscientiously, but you never know. Also, if they try to repo my car, despite the fact that I love this car and it has sentimental value to me, I will destroy it if I get wind of a repo. I mean totally wreck it beyond any hope of repair. I've been beaten by my ex-wife, beaten my all by employers, and beaten by the state and federal governments. The nicest agency, surprisingly, has been the IRS, who has me in an "unable to pay" status and last time I called recently to check in, the guy told me not to worry about it.

Anyway, I'm just ready to either start non-violently committing crimes or leaving the country.

I'm sorry to hear you're going through a mess like this .

I would immediately contact the ACLU. If they can't help they can probably direct you to someone who can.

I would also be very very careful about making threats about anything. If this goes to trial that stuff will come up, and will not help your case. You need to be the very soul of patience and kindness,

I hope you get some help with this soon...

Best Wishes
Gary

You know what else is maddening? If I were a female victim of male domestic violence, it would be relatively easy to find legal assistance for this issue. Thanks to society's un-evolved views on domestic violence, I will get a lot of - at best - blank stares. Fucking hell.

I'm sorry to hear of your woes. Like Gary said, it's important that you stay calm and polite, especially as you're probably more intelligent than the ones handling your case, and it's fairly common for such jobsworths to take it out on folks they think are smarter than themselves. Just saying! Anyway, good luck, and happy belated Solstice! Razz
