The history of this claim is when I got out of the military in May of 1994, I had a remaining balance of $1,597. After 10 years that amount increased to $3,929.
On April 24 I spoke with AAFES a representative of AAFES to settle the debt of the amount owed on the account minus the penalties and fines assessed on the account ($1,500).
AAFES sat on my letter until July 30 until finally accepting my offer. Remind you the offer was dated April 30.
After filing a lawsuit against AAFES, on March 4, I was contacted by Mary L. Waldsmith, Associated General Counsel, stating that service on AAFES does not comply with the rules and will not be considered valid by a federal court because they are protected by Sovereign Immunity. Also, stating, if I drop my suit, AAFES will remove the remainder of my debt from collections, which is around $1,600.
I, withdrew my suit and obtained a formal dismissal from the court.
In consideration of my withdrawal, AAFES was to forgive the remainder of my debt.
AAFES received a court stamped document by mail from the Justice of the Peace 4-1 around June 24 and around November 19. Also AAFES received a fax copy from me on January 31 and February 1. AAFES also received a copy by certified mail, signed and received on February 8.
After all attempts, AAFES still has a flag on my federal tax refund.
I request that as a constituent of the 30th Congressional District of Texas, AAFES be ordered to forgive the remainder of my debt, stop/cancel collections on my debt and send a letter to the IRS, releasing my name and social security from Treasury Offset by AAFES.
I feel that when AAFES accepted my offer, dated in April, they should be held by that standard.
