I owned an AAFES credit card and retired from the military in 2004. Shortly after I retired, I opened a business and I used the credit card to purchase goods for my store. I closed the store in 2005. AAFES garnished my military retirement wages in 2005 for credit card payments. After being employed for some time, I was laid off in Jan 08, and have been gainfully looking for employment with limits, due to living in a rural area. Due to being laid off, I fell behind on my mortgage payments for 3 months. I filed my taxes for with the hopes of using that money this year to keep a roof over my head. I received a letter from the U.S. Treasury office stating AAFES was collecting all of my tax refund.in addition to this the most recent "tax rebate" check to boast the economy was also taken by AAFES and again received a letter in the mail 3 days before I was to receive that rebate stating AAFES was taking that money also. If anyone can give me legal advice on the practices of AAFES, or other measures, I would greatly appreciate the advice. If AAFES is a government entity, from what I remember, the government/military has an anti-hardship approach?
