I suspect that this isnt a result of mere incompetence, but that of collusion and deliberate obdurate obstruction.

Whats the latest on all this?


You're absolutely right. You're not going to believe the letter that one of LA County's shysters recently sent (some information has been redacted to protect the kids involved). BTW, even now the LA County monsters are fraudulently claiming that I'm in arrears by two months.

Also, I've heard from other victims of these subhuman cretins who have, like me, also reported the Child Support monsters (the two worst are Lori A. Cruz - LACCSSD's chief shyster and Dennis Coe - who intentionally lied in court - he had ALL of the canceled checks that existed more than a year and a half before the following drivel was sent, ignored court orders, refused to respond to repeated demands for explainations from an attorney, etc., etc.) to the the Los Angeles County Fraud Unit which is currently conducting an investigation.

If you, or someone you know, is being subjected to extortion, be sure to file an complaint against the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department.

Steven Golightly, Director

Payment History and Audit

Dear Mr. [Redacted]:

Please find enclosed an updated audit based on the payments withheld over the past year via wage assignment. It appears almost half of the monies withheld from your check and forwarded to the State Disbursement Unit for your support order were mistakenly credited to another person's case with the same employer. I wish I could explain how and why this occurred, but I am at as much of a loss and you are as to why this happened (emphasis added). We were able to research the clearing/routing numbers on the backs of [your employer's] cancelled checks to determine where the monies were posted. Those monies have been retrieved and are being forwarded to the custodial parent [name of wench redacted], We also found another posting for [more money that was stolen] for [date redacted] on this other person's account which was not part of the proof you had originally provided. These monies are also being retrieved.

The attached audit reflects all payments made and previously posted to your account as well as those payments we just located. I am attaching an updated a made well. Please note that the audit reflects a payment made in [date redacted] for [amount redacted] but that payment is not on the actual payment history. Pursuant to a telephone conversation with [your employer], the [sic] failed to send in that payment at the time of the withholding and will be processing a check and forwarding it to the State Disbursement Unit shortly. As the audit reflects, we gave you credit for that payment as well. Also note that the payment history shows a payment date for a [redacted] wage assignment payment of $[amount stolen]. On the audit, it is reflected in the month of [redacted] since that was the date of the withholding from your pay.

As of today's date, your balance is [another wrong amount] you can see from the audit, you have maintained an overpayment until [redacted] 2007 when your [money was then  stolen from another source] . Pursuant to our records, no other payments have been made since [redacted] other than those from your [other checks that were garnished]. If you have made payments since that time on your own and you do not see them as having posted, please let us know immediately so we can try to locate them.

I apologize for the problems you have had with the missing payments made to the State Disbursement Unit. We have corrected those problems as to the past payments and are hoping there are no more problems for you or your payments in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you notice this problem again.

Sincerely,

Chris Stark
Staff Attorney


BTW, prior to this "apology," this same shyster tried to extort more money, that wasn't owed, by "offering to fix" my credit report - which LA County had been fraudulently reporting me in arrears for the past year and a half and refused to fix - if I "made my payments current" (which, of course, I didn't owe).

The following information may be of MAJOR interest to anyone who is being abused by the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Deparment. The Los Angeles County Fraud Unit has just uncovered as MASSIVE scandal as a direct result of a complaint I filed against the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department. The following is a press release that I've sent to as many newspapers, radio stations, and television studios that I can find in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. While the LA County Fraud Unit is not over, I strongly urge ALL of you to contact them and file a report on their web site (http://www.lacountyfraud.com) Click on the "Report Fraud" button to file your report! It's time to bombard LA County with complaints from everyone who has been harmed. Don't wait - file today! Also, don't forget to spread the word!

Fraud Unit Uncovers Scandal:

Los Angeles County Child Support Computer System has Major Deficiencies

. . .harming millions of innocent men


As part of an investigation into the ongoing corruption at the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department, in which they have been illegally seizing the wages, as well as fraudulently reporting arrearages on the credit report of a father who has always paid his child support on time and in full, the Los Angeles County Fraud Unit (Department of Auditor-Controller, Office of County Investigations, located on the Internet at: http://www.lacountyfraud.com ). That complaint resulted in an investigation being opened against them. As a result, the Fraud Unit has just uncovered another huge scandal in which it appears that millions of innocent fathers are literally being abused by LACCSSD. According to a voice-mail message, the Los Angeles County Fraud Unit informed the father that:

". . .the Child Support Department has a major deficiency in their computer reconciling system it looks they have a large lag time of about two or three months which is why they are not showing any of your payments for the last two or three months"

The Los Angeles County Fraud Unit has also stated that they are

"going to sit down with them [LACCSSD] in the next week or so and we're going to recommend some major overhauls to their computer systems."

In other words it is taking three months (or longer) for child support payments to be recorded by the county, while, at the same time, the County is viciously seizing the wages of innocent men who have; indeed, paid their child support. As noted, this scam has potentially impacted millions of innocent men who are having their wages garnished, tax refunds stolen, credit reports destroyed, professional licenses revoked, etc., etc. due to the ongoing incompetence at the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department.

In the case of the father who made the initial report to the Los Angeles County Fraud Unit, LACCSSD has severely harassed him for the past year and a half by not only literally defying court orders (available upon request) that they cease and desist their fraudulent collection actions against him as well as determined, a year ago, that the father had overpaid his child support, but they also:


  • Illegally garnished his wages
  • Tried to have his teaching credentials revoked

  • Stole unemployment checks when he was laid off (he only works part-time because he is on disability)

  • Fraudulently reported him as being 90 days in arrears to the credit bureaus and have refused to correct them. (Just yesterday, another one of LACCSSD's unethical attorney's, Chris Stark, tried to blackmail and extort more money from that father by stating that LACCSSD would remove the negative credit ratings if he paid an additional $1400 which he did not owe (in fact, LACCSSD has stolen so much from the father that they owe him money). A complaint of blackmail and extortion has just been filed against
  • Stark with the California Bar Association.

  • Stole two years worth of tax refunds

  • Six of LACCSSD's shysters (Lori A. Cruz, Dennis Coe, Deborah Echeverria, Alex Hunyh, Lisa Garrett, Cris Stark) have literally refused (some for more than a year) to respond to demands for a full accounting made by both the father and his attorney.



All of these were done in light of the fact that the father had significantly overpaid his support (much of which was stolen from him as a direct result of LACCSSD's vicious and unfounded collection activities). The father will provide members of the news media with full documentation (canceled checks, pay stubs, tax documents, credit reports, etc.) regarding payments made (or stolen) by LACCSSD along with the extortion letter just sent by LACCSSD's attorney, Chris Stark.

This latest scam is just one of many resulting from the unethical and illegal conduct of LACCSSD against innocent men. In a related matter, the United States District Court (Frank Mayer v. California Health and Human Services Agency et. al. - Case Number 2:05-cv-07195-JFW-SS) that LACCSSD had fraudulently damaged Mr. Mayer's credit report and subsequently refused to correct it. Based upon this latest news, it is conceivable that millions of men are being subjected to the same treatment.

A few years ago, the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Fourth Appellate District, Divison Three overturned one of Renee Wilson's acts of bigotry towards men when she, quite literally MADE UP HER OWN "facts!" That case was Loh v. Loh and the Appellate Court noted that

Quote
Based on this evidence, the trial judge [Renee Wilson] found that the ex-spouse had a "nontaxable" income of $9,000 -- a figure which appears to have been plucked from thin air.

This monster needs to be stopped!

Renee E. Wilson is a commissioner for the Orange County Superior Court. This bigoted monster is a divorced mother (that alone should make her disqualified as she is so biased against fathers) is not only a liar (she promises one thing and then, at the next hearing, she ignores them), but she doesn't bother to read materials submitted to the court prior to the hearing. She ignores facts, coaches and acts as the attorney for unrepresented mothers who abuse their children, refuses to provide written rulings - even when asked to do so by attorneys, ignores evidence, accepts hearsay from mothers but REFUSES to accept hard evidence submitted by fathers, and is grossly unprofessional. Bigots like Wilson belong in jail - not as an inept commissioner who decides the fate of children (who have been and will continue to be) abused by their mothers.

L.A. County still lags on child support payments
Despite major reforms, the region has one of the lowest collection rates in the nation, with families getting only 45% of what they are owed.
By Susannah Rosenblatt
Times Staff Writer

November 27, 2006

In the five years since reforming its system for ensuring that divorced or absent parents pay proper child support, Los Angeles County remains among the nation's worst in actually securing money.

This year, county officials helped collect 45% of what parents owed their children, up from less than a third in 2000 -- showing "slow, steady progress," said Steven Golightly, the agency's chief deputy director.

But child advocates say the county should be doing even better for the nation's largest child-support pool of roughly 475,000 kids.

Advocates argue that poor management and training hamper the system's effectiveness, and that customer service remains subpar.

Vincent Logan, 42, can vouch for that. The former custodian from Long Beach has been to court nine times, undergone more than a dozen audits and spoken before the child support advisory board five times in the last three years to straighten out how much he owed his ex-wife to help their teenage daughter.

On disability for a back injury suffered on the job, Logan has struggled to wend his way through the bureaucracy.

"I was taken through the wringer," Logan said. He successfully fought suspension of his driver's license as he tried to work with child support agents to make his payments -- varying between $450 a month and the current $240 -- and eventually received a refund of nearly $1,000 that he overpaid. The whole process should have been simple, Logan said.

"You're scratching your head trying to figure out, 'Well, how does this system work?' " he said. "They're supposed to have the people's interest at heart."

Former Gov. Gray Davis approved creation of a new state child support department to streamline the collection of money from absent parents.

After years of dismal collection rates and frustrated families, the state Legislature stripped district attorneys of control of the disjointed system and created a new, unified state program to get money into families' hands faster.

The management change was supposed to shift the department's philosophy from prosecutors hunting down deadbeat dads to extract the most money possible to social service experts helping families.

But a report this year by the state legislative analyst's office blames a persistently weak child support operation in Los Angeles County and the state in general on restrictive state oversight and a lack of financial incentives to local governments to improve collection rates.

Part of the problem, Golightly said, is under-funding. The county's child support caseload -- the largest in the nation -- is more than a quarter of the state's cases. But Los Angeles County receives only about a fifth of California's $1.2-billion annual child support enforcement budget.

County child support director Philip Browning agrees that Los Angeles needs more flexibility to run its program but says adequate money for child support enforcement is crucial to the system's success.

"It's inconceivable to me for somebody to say that money doesn't make any difference," Browning said.

With proportionate funds, the county could add 1,000 more employees to its current workforce of about 1,800 to help collect child support, Browning said.

"The amount of money the county gets is the strongest determinant of how that county's going to perform," he said.

Browning also points to a problematic state computer system that blocks information-sharing.

In 2008, the state agency plans to roll out a federally mandated centralized database to process child support payments.

Critics argue that funding disparities are less important than the county's inability to run the program effectively.

Other jurisdictions have done a better job of collecting support dollars through automated systems such as wage garnishments or driver's license holds, said Curt Child, who ran the new agency from 2000 to 2004 and now is senior attorney with the National Center for Youth Law.

And, child support advocates contend that the county's recently rising collection rate can be largely attributed to closing more than 200,000 cases over the last five years in ways that have manipulated the statistics.

Browning calls that characterization "totally inaccurate," and says state and federal agencies require that specific guidelines be met -- such as the inability to locate a parent after three years -- before county officials can close a case.

Some child support advocates believe department staffers are listening more and penalizing less, said Reginald Brass, founder of My Child Says Daddy, a local organization that helps fathers to win custody and visitation rights.

Brass believes it is important to focus on the system's modest gains.

"Just to keep harboring all the negative" impressions of the department, Brass said, "I don't think does us any good."

Dawn Nelson of Rancho Palos Verdes calls the child support staffer who helped her collect thousands from her ex-husband to fund her daughter's college education "an angel walking the Earth."

The department offered Nelson, 47, a customer service supervisor for a printing company, extra help just weeks before her daughter turned 18.

"I was really amazed that for a government agency that I've received such personalized service," she said. "You meet people there that are really doing this because they care. They really are making a difference in people's lives."

Child advocates counter that "customer service is still a huge problem in Los Angeles County," referring to the notoriously impenetrable system, once nearly impossible for families to navigate.

The county persists as "one of the major holes in the performance of the child support program, because that's the one county where most of our kids live," Child said.

County officials say complaints to a program that fields 15,000 calls a day have dropped, and child support outreach to educate the public has been a success.

"I can honestly tell you, it changed," said Walter Taylor, a 45-year-old father who has had dealings with the child support system over the last five years.

After years of not knowing his rights, Taylor received more than $8,000 back in overpayments, and the United Parcel Service salesman from Compton finally feels like the department is handling his case properly.

Los Angeles County's struggle to improve child support collections has grown more urgent with the shift of most child support recipients off welfare, Child said.

Because most support dollars are now going directly to families rather than the government, Child said, "that really changes the dynamics and importance of the role this program plays for children."

And county officials and advocates alike are worried about a federal budget-trimming bill that would slash federal child support reimbursements, hobbling state and local programs.

"Quite honestly, I've given up," said Sue Speir, president of Long Beach-based Single Parents United 'N Kids, a child support advocacy group. "Only the names have changed."

Altering people's perception of a historically antagonistic agency -- at times responsible for billing the wrong man for thousands in erroneous payments, or even charging the deceased -- remains a challenge, Golightly said.

County officials, he said, are "changing the mentality and the culture of our staff to say, 'We want to help the people who come to see us.' "

I was a bit disappointed that a fair number of the motions and "not used" items weren't linked.


Sorry that many items are missing - they weren't available on PACER and I'm not sure how to obtain them otherwise. In order to obtain all of the items that are linked, I had to pay a fee in order to obtain them off PACER - even though they are a matter of public record. If anyone else is able to obtain the missing records, I would be more than happy to post them for the world to see. It's rather disgusting, to say the least, to see how the corrupt government has so many resources available to them while their innocent victims have enormous hurtles to overcome just to get heard in court. We can only hope that the judge will end up finding Greta Wallace and her thugs guilty. I can say from first-hand experience, Wallace and her thugs are continuing their vile actions of acting in collusion with the equally corrupt Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department in continuing to intentionally destroy other innocent men's credit records without cause and knowing full well that there is not the slightest reason for doing so other than their own blatant bigotry towards men and their children.

Greta Wallace, chief child abuser, wench, and director of the California Department of Child Support Services is being SUED in United States District Court, along with the other wenches in her department and the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department for intentionally destroying one of her innocent victim's credit ratings and refusing to do anything about it!

All available court documents about this lawsuit have been posted at:

Bigot and Child Abuser, Greta Wallace, Being Sued in Federal Court!

To views the documents, click on the above link and then click on the number contained next to each description. These documents are also available on PACER (http://pacer.uspci.uscourts.gov/) but you have to pay for them there.

As bigot Greta Wallace and her thugs are doing EXACTLY the same thing to me, at this very moment (and I've not only NEVER missed a single child support payment but have actually OVERPAID, as per court orders, no less) - and she and her wenches have REFUSED to do anything about it for nearly a year now, I hope that the courts lock this child abuser in jail, along with the rest of her thugs, where they belong!

Additional court documents pertaining to this case will be posted as they are available. Perhaps we should write to the judge and give him an earful to help him through the book at these monsters.

As a direct result of the experiences I'm having with the child abusers* from the California State Department of Child Support Services and the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department, I just came up with an idea to help expose these criminals for what they really are: criminals and child abusers*!

I saw this idea work once before when a group of innocent people were ripped off by a company: an Internet campaign was launched where everyone got together and bombarded a defined set of media and governmental agencies to demand exposure for the abuse by the company - in this case, the child support system. All that we would need to do is:

1. define a small set of media and governmental agencies to write to
2. set a specific date to mail, call, e-mail, and/or fax these people
3. come up with a brief basic statement we wish to express as a group (for example, Innocent men and their children are being abused by a corrupt system)
4. launch the campaign!

What do you think?! Should we try it? Perhaps we could even get one or two highly articulate spokesmen to offer to share our stories?

* BTW, child abuser = government officials who steal money, resources, property, time, livelihood, etc. from innocent fathers and their children.

At this time, my list of child abusers includes but is not limited to the following individuals and agencies:

California State Department of Child Support Services:

Greta Wallace, chief child abuser and director
Laura (Wallace's assistant) and child abuser
Susan Turek, Assistant Director and child abuser
Carolee St. Clair, vicious monster and child abuser who refuses to answer questions and hangs up the phone on her victims

Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department:

Philip Browning, chief child abuser and director
Lori A. Cruz, chief shyster and child abuser
Dennis Coe, shyster and child abuser

Haha!! Excellent. I hope this triggers a deeper investigation and knocks their whole house of cards down. Maybe we'll get lucky and even see indictments.  :twisted:


I can't think of anything better - throw Greta Wallace and her thugs in jail - where they belong!  :D

That's right, the corrupt California Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) is currently under investigation for stealing money from a father, in direct defiance of court orders, who has never been in arrears on his child support. In fact, the court orders document that the father has overpaid his child support and yet Wallace and her goons continue to bill the father from money he has never owed. Furthermore, both Wallace and the equally corrupt Los Angeles County Child Support Services continues to refuse to correct their fraudulent reporting of the father as being 90 past due on his credit reports - again, that lie is well documented by not only existing court records, but countless other documents.

Specifically, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has been demanding an explanation from Greta Wallace, the unethical director of DCSS. While the initial demand for an explanation occurred two months ago, DCSS has so far refused to respond to DHHS. In fact, a second letter was sent to Greta Wallace demanding an explanation do to Wallace's intentional refusal to cooperate.

Calls about this disgusting situation have been made to the so-call DCSS "helpline" where a monster, by the name of Carolee St. Clair, not only refuses to answer questions but slams the phone down on callers. That number is: (916) 464-5050. Be prepared for Carolee St. Clair to be rude and belligerent - assuming she doesn't hang up on you. Because of Carolle St. Clair's belligerence and arrogance, an other phone has been obtained in order to complain directly to Greta Wallace's "assistant" - Laura. Of course, you should expect Laura to hang up on you too. That phone number appears to be UNPUBLISHED and is:

Quote
(916) 464-5300


In addition, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has also been demanding an explanation from Greta Wallace and her corrupt department regarding the situation. Again, no response has yet been received. All fathers who are being subjected to the criminal actions of Greta Wallace and her corrupt California Department of Child Support, as well as the equally unethical and criminal actions of the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department, are strongly urged to file complaints against these agencies with both the Governor's Office and the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Abused fathers may contact the Governor's Office at:

Phone: 916-445-2841
Fax: 916-445-4633


and ask to speak with Gemma (pronounced Hemma).


In order to file a complaint with the United States Department of Health and Human Services, contact:

Administration for Children and Families
Att: Selena Long

As long as both of these offices have complaints pending against unethical criminals like Greta Wallace and her thugs, as well as the criminals from Los Angeles County Child Support Services, now might be a good time for you to file complaints too. Perhaps if they get bombarded with complaints, they'll realize that Wallace and her thugs really are criminals and do something about the brazen theft and destruction of innocent men's lives that she is personally responsible for.

First of all, thanks to everyone who has been posting ratings for the sleazy shysters from Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department on LawyerRatingz.com. This is especially true about sleaze bag chief shyster Lori A. Cruz and ESPECIALLY scum ball Dennis G. Coe.

Disgustingly, it appears as if Coe and Cruz have not only been able to get some of their valid ratings REMOVED (i.e., censored) but now have a campaign of their own to get their buddies to give them "good" ratings. (Fortunately, screen captures have been made that show that their ratings are being removed.)

Just as a brief refresher, Lori A. Cruz is the chief shyster for LACCSSD and actively engages in outright theft and defiance of court orders. Sleaze bag Dennis Coe is guilty of the same things and more.

Because these criminals are now getting their ratings removed, it would be great if some of you could tell the world what you think about these unethical monsters. Be sure to keep a copy of your review and see how long it takes for it to disappear from the LawyerRatingz site!

Click HERE to Review Lori A. Cruz

It should be noted that these BIGOTS have no problem getting their well-deserved ratings removed and yet they continue to engage in criminal conduct (i.e., refuse to abide by court orders, outright theft, and violation of the Federal laws governing credit reporting (after trying numerous times from MONTHS LACCSSD just refused again, yesterday, to correct the entirely fraudulent information they put on my credit reports).

Abu Grahib sounds like a picnic after seeing what Dads go through at the hands of evil Los Angeles County. :?


You're right. Unlike the poor man who has been subjected to THREE DECADES of terrorism by Los Angeles County, the Abu Ghraib story received the attention of the media and some of the perpetrators (esp., Lindsay England) were tried and found guilty of their crimes. The LA County monsters should be subjected to far worse punishment than England - after all, they've been terrorizing men for decades with total impunity for their criminal actions.
