Hey all, I would be indebted to anyone who can offer me advice on what to do regarding a tax situation I'm in. (California)
This morning I went to check my bank account and saw that a hold had been placed on the xxxx amount from my tax return along with a $50 garnishment fee from the CA Tax Board. I contacted my institution and they said I'd have to contact the Tax Board. I did and they said I had no outstanding debt on their end but try contacting different agencies (Child Support, DMV, Court) that all "have a hand in the pocket" when it comes to collecting outstanding debt. Alas, after contacting the agencies they all said I had no records on their end.
Calling Bank Round Two... I find out that the Hold is not toward me but toward a cosigner I had on that account. Though, I've never had a cosigner for that bank account. I opened it on my own in 2014. The name they gave me is my Grandmother. Now, she did cosign something with me which was my car back in 2012. That was the only financial bond we've had before. My institution said I need to have my Grandmother contact the CA Tax Board to handle the matter.
As things stand, what would cause this to happen? I've never been in a situation even remotely similar to this. That Tax Refund was much needed to catch up on bills and put some away for saving.
Feedback?
