Army dudes in uniform arrived at the house to discuss collecting money? Baloney. The Army does not send folks to vets houses, they mail them a letter. Better dig deeply into this. Your State Representative has a military staffer- call them and give them the details. Call DFAS (Defense Finance and Acctng Service in Louisville KY- they can be searched for online. Does not pass the smell test, this one.

There are only two events that prompt uniformed members to call on a home- death of a service member on duty and Criminal Investigations Command- and those guys come in suits.

PrairieLady,

I agree with Manly Warrior, something sounds fishy about Army folks coming to a vet’s house to collect a debt. Everything is done by mail now. And the only visiting of homes I’m familiar with by military officers is, regretfully, in line of duty to inform the next of kin. If they were demanding payment on site, then sounds very highly like a scam.

G-F
