By manipulating my personal information, I was made into a criminal. WCB had then claimed 100% of my benefits, due to the criminal charge I was facing, on July 1st, 2007, court had not even been completed at that time, there was over $30, 000.00 held back on my claim in 2001, of which WCB claimed it went to the overpayment resulting from the fraud charges against me. WCB then collected all my benefits until the monies were paid back which they claim was approx $32, 000.00, it was already paid off before they charged me, from the monies that they held on to for 3 years before I was under fraud investigation.
Due to WCB's way of handling injured workers I had accumulated a maintenance enforcement bill of over $10, 000.00, WCB offered me an advance that changed into a loan that changed again into an overpayment @ 12% interest. I was given a 5 year payment plan, however WCB collected the monies before the maturity of the loan, added 12% on top of the agreement and it was paid out 6 months ahead of schedule, not by my choice but by their with-holding 100% of my benefits.
My family had no income, to social assistance we went, I informed them of our problem and we were given assistance until Sept 2008, at which time WCB contacted social services and informed them that I was collecting $816.00 per month. This has caused another fraud investigation against me, however at year end I received my T-5 financial report for 2008 taxes, it states I made $943.00 for the 2008 tax year. Who defrauded who? As far as I can calculate it is now over $60, 000.00, not including what I don't know about yet, as time goes on I find more monies missing or relocated.
