Similar thing happened to my Dad – the Taxman over here undercharged him for 6 years on tax, then asked for it all – £6k in all – within 30 days. Bit unreasonable really, given it was their fault. Could have been a little more lenient.

Keep at it. Do exactly what you said, call, but if you get “Bill’s” VMX then immediately call their general hotline number and while remaining VERY polite and VERY calm ask to speak with the manager after you briefly explain your situation.

More often then not people are willing to help you out…you may find out that Bill is a real slacker and get someone who’s completely the opposite.

If you do get someone that is very helpful, make sure you ask them for their name and explain that you’re going to express your gratitude for their help to their manager. While the person on the other end of the phone is “looking something up” or “checking a few things” I usually insert a “Thank you for your help. I really appreciate this” even if it’s something small. You’ll find out that they’re now even more willing to help you out.

I had the same problem with a collections agency where I was guilty until proven innocent. After about 40 hours of work to prove my innocence I was able to clear my name of a faulty Comcast Cable charge of roughly $250 and get it expunged from my credit report.

Good luck. Keep us posted.

I suggest consulting with a lawyer, you might be able to consult for free or a small fee that way you can kind of see where you stand.

It seems to me there giving you the ole CRA (IRS) shuffle!
