What to do when my Regional VA is throwing away my files?

I was billed for 38,000 in Nov. 2011 by the local VA citing that I am being paid for 2 wives, which is a crock. I turned in all the forms when I divorced my former wife. I remarried in 2002 and turned in the appropriate forms to have her put on as my dependent in 2002 and after getting the first check in May 2002 I noticed wife was never added, so I went to work to have her added. She never was. I was being paid as a single Vet. The last attempt I made was in Nov. 2011. Well, the VA sent me a letter telling me I owed 38,000 dollars for being paid for 2 wives. So crazy, I was being paid as a single Vet and proved it to them. They finally admitted their mistake and then sent me a bill for 16,000 because they say I never turned in my current wife.

Now does this make any sense? I owe them because I was being paid as a single vet? I appealed the decision because it didn't make sense. I sent in the form to request a hearing before the Board of Veterans affairs and the local VA threw the form away so I sent another certified mail and they closed my case saying I still owe 16,000. I've never heard of anything so stupid in my life. I am fighting them now to get this cleared up but how do I get the money back that they owe me.

Talk about a bunch of fraud. They are out to get the Veteran in every way they can.

If you send anything to the Govt. please make sure you send it by certified mail and make a copy of everything. I sure don't want anyone else to go through this.

Update:

Thank you, I have contacted the Senators, the governor and the President on this one and they all responded to the VA but it did no good.

    You should contact your local Senator about this case because obviously it has gone on long enough and in fact they should owe you not vice versa.
