Mar. 9th, 2016 08:26 amI caught up with lj.
OIG declined to address my complaint about retaliation and harassment via the tax office, first saying "we lack jurisdiction over municipal employees" (!?) and then explaining they reviewed the exchanges and qualified it as "a tax dispute." I have to go in person, wait, or go the local politician route - but there is no realistic hope of resolution. There is no way to force them to pay me the money they owe, and there is a legal basis to charge me the taxes and back taxes when I do not live in the property.
For the first time my contractor has flat-out stopped responding to me, not taking my calls, not responding to email. I'll be checking to see if any work is taking place, and strongly considering legal action depending on what I see. I've noted he's an LLC, but insured, so hopefully there is a way to file claims he can't just evade by closing/bankrupting the LLC. I'm going to start checking DC attorneys who do contract law, construction focus.
I may not be able to afford resolution and am considering options from selling the house incomplete, paying a contractor to get some parts fixed, and pulling money from my retirement account to a) get the job done, b) sue the contractor. I'm "white" but don't have relatives I can borrow money from to make things happen.
