After negotiating with Unemployment for the last 15 months, I just checked with the website, and it appears I no longer owe $8,000! It was all their fault, but to deal with a government body like that is just about impossible!

(7,522 posts)Had an issue under Snyders admin they retroactively changed my home from residential and hit me with a huge tax bill. My home was never reclassified. But because assessment people had wandered into my garage and noted wiring was heavy duty and looked like commercial they had reclassified me because that word was used. My pleas fell on deaf ears and bucks were passed my local authority said they had not reclassified me and nothing had changed for 35 years. I had to go through three appeals before it was fixed. Much anxiety and screaming at assholes in power.
