Forum Post: Disgruntled US Citizen

I got kicked out of my inheritance home about 4 years ago by the US government. I couldn't pay the $3,551 water bill city tax so one day in Early March 2007 they sent the fire department and a cop car to my home.

They broke down my side door. I locked my kitchen door and hid in my bedroom all the time having the cops yell at me in the downstairs hallway to open the door and such bs words as "you're only making this harder on yourself".

The fire department finally took off the kitchen door and the police escorted me out of my own freaking home. they put me in a cop car then sent me to a hotel where they paid for 3 nights of my stay there, after that I was on my own.

That was my grandmothers home, she bought that house 45 years ago at $95,000, mortgage paid. After the US government took my home they put it on the market and sold it for a quick sale for $17,000. They stole from me and my ancestors those fucking pigs. Stole from me and by law I can't do shit about it!

Now for the past 4 years I live in a run down apartment with a slum lord that does nothing for me, my toilet leaks, me frig is broke, my heater is broke I had to buy my own little electric heater at home depot so I don't freeze to death mean while that asshole lives in a semi mansion.

I have a retard that lives above me that bangs on the floor which I've lost many sleepless nights and my job because of her that the creepy landlord won't kick her out because it's his relative.

I'm only 28 but I've physically aged so much these past few years.

I'm just struggling and this asshole government has to many laws that don't help no one out but themselves and the rich!

This sounds like the product of a made up story. They would have cut your water off long before you could rack up that amount. Secondly, they do not evict people by force for unpaid water bills. They will put a lien on your paycheck, or any future paycheck.

I am calling bs.

It's not a bs story, this is exactly what happen in my situation. Stop discrediting my life, secret agent.

If you can't pay your bills don't blame others.

[-] 1 points by NightShade (163) 12 years ago

This was not my bill to pay but some jerk law maker who invented the bill to suck off the american public. You see this a lot these days. They do nothing against the credit man who steals and crooks the public but there is always laws made to make the general public cracked. This is one of the reason why everyone is in debt these days and the government needs to bail out banks and lenders but the no money to be had for the general public. The government is on in the scam

So, do you want us to live as lonely wolves in the woods?

I appreciate your well written comment economicallydiscardedcitizen , I really do, at least I know someone is paying attention. The problem is, I'm not getting any younger, my inheritances was there, I could have worked with something. I don't want to start over. These past few years working a 9-5 job gets you no where in life real fast.

The past 9 months I have been trying to figure out how to come up with some quick cash, but unlike my grandfathers era these days everything has some sort of law or fine, or licences attached to it. it's really ridiculous how someone has to jump through so many hoops to just get a crumble of pie.

I blame government for this, law makers pared with the rich have design a system that the classless can never get a head just to run in circles.

Did you loan your hose to 3, 4, or 5 neighbors so the could fill their pool because if you did then you should have charged them something.

Moral of the story; pay your water bill.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

How do you have a $3,551 water bill?

[-] 1 points by Occufridazzle (-19) 12 years ago

Thats the government for ya. I have heard and seen countless stories like this. I had a friend who inherited a ranch worth 1 million and they made up some tax bill like 100,000 grand that he owed but he only owed like 10,000. They took his ranch and all his money in his bank accounts and sold the ranch for 250,000 dollars. Left him with a beat up truck and a dog. He did have a drinking problem and was totally taken advantage of though.

If you are old and living in the united states, you house needs to be in one of your children's names. Then when you get sick and run up $200,000 in medical bills- don't pay them. there is nothing they can do. But if you own a home- they will either take it or put a lean on it. and your children will get nothing. They can't garnish your wages- and they can't take your bank, if you remove the money first.

Welcome to Marxism 2000 where the state takes care of everyone in the name of "fairness", a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee!

Taking care of you from womb to tomb as long as you surrender ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My grandfather 70 years ago owned half the city land with farming, ever since he died his enemies have been raping and putting curses on my family taking little by little, now his grandson is left with nothing. I believe these are foreigners that have fucked my family over and in the government as well.

Nightshade,

So sorry to hear of your plight and I completely empathize with you since with the lead up to the current state of the economy and my prior industry me and my husband currently do not live anywhere near the style we are accustomed to (he was born and raised in Martinez, CA and me in Alamo, CA just to give you an idea)

We've seen it all in cutting costs over these years. We're both firm believers in living within our means and moved consistently to cut back our housing overhead costs with utilities, water and garbage, insurance etc. so that they were equal to no greater than 1/3 of the household income until the uncontrollable meltdown in our economy that closed the real estate and mortgage company I had worked for so our goal of staying at 1/3 quickly went to 40%+ toward the end of the company and husband's work injury (thankfully he has service connected VA pension so at least we have that going for us) The whole mess sucked our emergency reserve over close to a two year period but in the lead up over the years from 2000 the places we lived-ugghh, we know about living in 'poor' neighborhoods with our last that included 'toilet rats' jumping out of the john(only Norway rats are known for this), the gang member that moved in with the stereo setup that literally shook both levels above it, the college student who when noting the consistent number of SWAT teams and police who would arrive at 3 and 4 AM and who eventually told us that there was 1 sex offender for every 5 units in our complex(she moved shortly before we did), the topper was when a tenant was evicted above us and somebody broke in, slept in there for about a week and then one day apparently left the tub faucet on flooding our unit and destroying much of our wardrobe. We learned from first hand experience that there are people who really are savages!

What others have said here concerning the lien and local police and fire departments is true but you're lucky on this count: you're only 28 while many of us here are in our 40's (as a '99er' and 99% you know that folks like me are truly 'econonomically discarded citizens') and what this means is you will be hired much faster than those of us who are older once things start to turn around and you will not have as difficult a time as your older peers in starting over whether it is going back to school to start a new career path, start a business, find others of like mind so be glad you have your youth and hey, if you want to stay young looking, probably the most important things you can do is to always apply sunscreen of 15+ to your face, neck and hands first thing every day and drink plenty of filtered water along wtih common sense dietary habits.

In closing, good luck to you and I would gladly trade places in a heartbeat knowing what I know now if I could be 28 again!

You still have to pay water tax twice a year here, even if you are not using the water, if you don't pay the city rolls over the late fee and it becomes bigger, I never received a letter from the city about this until after I was forced out.

Personally my thoughts. my family comes from old white money and some socialist bitch in government wanted to screw me over and auctioned off to a friend for cheap probably to get kick backs.

It is now a apartment complex with a shit ass owner that his family was a rival of mines long ago that's the owner now. My grandmother wanted to get rental zoning rights at the clerks office years before she died but the city planner office wouldn't authorize it to her..

that was the house I grew up in, it's the family home, why should I buy some new house probably filled with china defected drywall?

Why couldn't you afford your own house in the first place?

[-] 0 points by NightShade (163) 12 years ago

I wasn't living at the residence for two years after she past, the country charged a water tax and since no was there to pay it or know about it the city charged up late fee after late fee

[-] 0 points by NightShade (163) 12 years ago

They have everything to do with my situation, if it wasn't for THEIR high taxes there wouldn't have been a lien on the home thus I wouldn't have been in this situation. Taxes in my area are some of the highest in the country.

Why do I need to pay their bills with my money. What will my money go for? Government bank bailouts? Public school propaganda? More oppression against the american people and the payment for a military police state?

[-] 1 points by Mooks (1985) 12 years ago

I think you get clean drinking water for your water bill. Right?

[-] 0 points by necropaulis (491) 12 years ago

It's called a lien.You don't pay it, they take the property. Look in what needs to be paid off when you inherit houses. My father died two years ago and there was a lien on the houses he owned. My mother ended up having to pay both of those bills off before she could unload them. The government, cops and fire co. have nothing to do with your situation.
