I just got a garnishee notice from my job. It’s only for $140, but still alarming. It’s from the Vehicle License Collection people at the state tax board. Oddly, it references a car I did own, in a year I did own it (2000), and my real social security number, but an address I have never inhabited, or even visited, in another town. But with my real zip code.
This of course explains why I never got notice of this “problem” before the garnishee notice, but wow. How jacked up is this?
They get their $140 tomorrow, right or wrong, but I’m going to have to figure out how the government managed to get *this* kind of weird data munge. I bet that will take a while to fix, if ever.
Good luck. You can’t fight city hall. Well you can fight it, but it will bite your ear off. I think Don King is city hall’s promoter.

Jury Duty
My current form of amusement is taunting the L.A. County jury duty people, when they send me jury duty summonses. The fact I haven’t lived in California for almost a decade is what makes this all possible. I can crayon-scribble on their intricate barcode-rich forms, because I’m TWO THOUSAND MILES AWAY. I occasionally send them a map showing where I am, and where they are, to make this clear to them.
