Question
SIMS A1C Retired
in 1999 I was indicted in Oregon and because my court documents were marked "hold in confidence" I was not informed of any pending warrants . I have direct deposit, was in prison in washington , VA and SS have my phone number and addresses . I simply had no knowledge I was in "fugitive status" for 11 1/2 years thus resulting in an $176,000 VA overpayment which I've made 93 payments of $500... I have resolved the warrant resulting in spending 5 days in jail. How or why would any agency especially the VA allow this overpayment to go on so long? THEY obviously had the knowledge of my status. This has literally destroyed my life as well as taken my confidence in a secure future and threw it away. I feel punished for being a vet
I know it's all confusing but please, anyone, guide me in the right direction
thank you

So let me understand this. You had a warrant and had no idea of it? Or did you just not report in or go to court like the paperwork stated? I know normally if you get a ticket of whatever nature it
