- Jul 10Mr. Bradley...it was OTR who devised the manipulation that caused the mistake in their system...not me.(1) And, why am I given the task to run behind OTR to clean up their and your mess? I always and will always request a refund check/payment. The court does not state in its order to credit an account but clearly states that a refund with interest is to be given to the plaintiff. The District Government issues tax refund payments to citizens, so what is the problem - that is being conjured.D.C. Government can not be trusted to implement refunds to D.C. citizens, I have experienced this trick when a traffic ticket payment was ordered to be returned. No in the D.C. Government knew what office or who was the government contact person to pay out the refund.Mr. Bradley, please offer the name.the office and contact information of the person who takes care of refunds at OTR. Or better still, send this email to the OTR person/office who has the authority to implement refunds to homeowners. Thank you. This mess has gone on for too long.Mr. Frank Bessenyei, please speak up and offer the instructions and information to expedite the refund payment.Chg.(1) The manipulation of the Homestead Exemption had no standing or authority over the court's mandated order that authorized and sanctioned the payment agreement and the amount between the OAG [District Government] and the plaintiff.

Mr. Gurley,
The Court order allows the District to credit your property tax account. Thus, a $212 .50 credit (plus interest) can be applied to offset any current or future tax liabilities on your property. Nevertheless, you can request that OTR remove the credit and send you a check in the refund amount (assuming you do not have any outstanding tax liabilities on your property). Unfortunately, due to incorrect refund amount listed in the order (as previously explained), a check cannot be processed or mailed. This is not what you prefer; however, it is the only way to make sure you receive your $212.50 plus interest payment. Thank you.

What the hell does your statement mean? I haven't opened an account. The trouble and the trickery that the Attorney General office and D.C.Tax and Revenue Department have manipulated has shaken me - which should warrant you and your folks to afford some type of courtesy... just forward a check to my home address.
The court order instructed your office [District of Columbia] to pay (refund) not to place the amount in an account - that I know nothing about and have no access to. I demand my refund in cash [check] immediately as promised by your office. Stop dragging this episode onward ...I had enough of you and the games that were played by your office and the Attorney General's Office..
I am just seconds from sending your games and tricks [emails] onto the dozens of community listserv throughout the District of Columbia. Stop playing games and issue the court ordered refund [check]...its that simple. I believe five (5) work days is enough time to issue the refund. Chg.

David A. Bradley, I have no time for games and you are too old - Tricks are for Kids. The OAG signed a contract/ settlement offer now its time to pay. A signed contract is a contract...period. especially based upon a mutual agreement (a settlement offer) by both parties.
You have lost respect for yourself, your profession, your manhood and being an African-American man when you sent me that sham email. A true Black man from any profession would not hurt, sham or take advantage of another Black man who is of little means and resources. [Yes, I truly believe that you shammed other unknowing D.C. residents to back-off their original settlement offer.] Don't you ever declare that you are a Black Man in America...because I will be the first to refute it... Only con-artist go after $212.00.
Attached is a court motion for the OTR to pay up. A "signed" contract/settlement agreement is a contract ...and that is Business 101.

Mr. Gurley:
Thank you for your email. I have looked into this matter to determine why a refund was not issued. Apparently, the refund amount in the court order ($212.50) was incorrect because it did not factor in your homestead deduction which reduces your home’s taxable value. Although your property’s Tax Year 15 assessment was $411,750, with the homestead deduction you paid taxes on an assessment of $340,350. Therefore, you paid $2,692.89 in taxes.
When the parties’s agreed to reduce your Tax Year 2015 assessment to $386,750, with the homestead deduction, your tax bill would be $2,680.48 based on a taxable assessment of $315,350. Therefore, when you look at the amount of taxes you paid for Tax Year 2015 ($2,692.18) and the actual amount of taxes owed (2,680.48) based on the reduced assessment, you are actually owed $12.42. (I’ve attached the calculations for your own independent review).
The $212.50 refund amount in the court order would be correct only if there were no homestead deduction. In other words, if you had paid taxes on the full assessment.
Please note, our office represents the Office of Tax and Revenue and we cannot make them issue an erroneous refund. We are likely to file a motion asking the Court to vacate the current refund order due to the erroneous refund amount unless you are open to filing an amended order (we have done this in the past for other refund orders where the calculations for the refund amount were incorrect). Nevertheless, we will hold off on filing such a motion until June 10 to give you sufficient time to review our calculations and decide what you believe is in your best interest.
I apologize for the confusion this has caused. Thank you.
