To Whom It May Concern,
As per your conversation with one of our representatives, the account placed here for the Motor vehicle tax year of 2019-2020 has been placed on hold for Military Exemption. You will need to fill out the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Affidavit and send that to the Assessor of the City of *** ****** to have the bills removed as per Military Exemption.

Received a notice informing that they were "again" trying to amicably collect a $34 debt for the City of *** ****** regarding a vehicle I had while stationed there. I did not purchase this vehicle in connecticut as it was bought from a family member. It was initially registered in CT but then after I visited my home state of Texas, I had re-registered it there. I also went to the tax office with all SCRA paperwork and was granted an exemption from any and all state taxes regarding this vehicle. This "debt" is from 01JULY2020. The City of *** ****** and this company have had plenty of opportunity to contact me regarding this if it was a real issue. Instead, I receive my first indication that there "might" be a problem 3 years later and with a collections notice. No prior contact regarding this matter has been made. I've already filed all required paperwork over 3 years ago when I was originally stationed in CT. I have not been stationed in CT since 2021, and I have not lived in the City of *** ****** since 2017. I have also done the following: 1. Verified my information in the Check for Compliance Issues portion of the CT DMV website. 2. When I re-registered my vehicle in Texas, I cancelled my CT Plates and registration using the CT DMV website.Business response

It seems the Town Of *** ****** has resorted to extorting veterans. I purchased a vehicle while stationed in Groton Connecticut in 2010, now 12 years later I am being told I owe back taxes. I was never a resident, and in fact my state of record while living there was in Florida. The American National Recovery Group appears to prey on veterans, and now in their vaguely worded letter are threatening legal action to collect a tax I cannot possibly owe. The account number is ****-************. I filled out the required paperwork when purchasing my vehicle, including exemptions, I have not lived in Groton, CT since March of 2011, and my supposed due dates are after the car was no longer even mine. I would like bo further contact from these people.

To Whom It May Concern,
The bills that *** ***** is receiving are from the Town of Groton. The Tax Collector’s office of the Town of Groton is still showing these bills as outstanding. Motor Vehicle Taxes are based on the vehicle registration and charged per year on the registration being valid. Because *** ***** is Military Personnel, he can apply to have the bills removed as per the Military Exemption. He would then need to contact the Assessor’s office of the Town of Groton for the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Affidavit for Military and Veteran Exemption. The account that is placed here has been disputed and *** ***** will not receive any further communication from our office.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let our office know.

I had received mail from American National Recovery Group *** in order for them to collect taxes for ******, **. I have not lived in ** since 2020 and had paid my taxes for said vehicle for the duration of my time in ******. The vehicle has not been in my possession as of November 2020. This is clearly a scam aimed towards those in the armed service. I have been living in **************** since then and have been paying the applicable taxes that I am not exempt from for the past three years.Business response

Received a collection notice that is over a decade old from this collection company that is simply not correct and this company has been extremely threatening going as far to threaten legal action against me for $300. This company incorrectly states this bill is from 2012 from the town of Groton, CT. I only lived in Groton for less than 2 years between 2008-2010 while on active duty military orders. I never purchased a vehicle while in CT and all of my taxes were paid while I was stationed there. This debt is inaccurate and I request that this company to STOP contacting me immediately and to have this debt deleted. I demand to no longer be threatened by decades old INCORRECT debt while I was on active duty military service. If it continues I will report this unprofessional company to the ****.Business response

This company contacted me with a letter claiming I owe $367.61 in back taxes for a vehicle I haven't owned for 9 1/2 years. They are requesting taxes from 2013/2014 in Groton CT I only lived there for 6 months in military barracks and owe no back taxes. I was serving in the military during that time. I owe nothing for 2013 or 2014 as I didn't reside in the state and claimed residency in New York. I have lived in California on Active Duty since November 2012. Remove this collection immediately.

I received a letter from AMERICAN NATIONAL RECOVERY GROUP INC for the date of 02/08/2023. The letter claims that I owe vehicle tax on a vehicle I have owned in many years. When I resided in Groton CT I filed and paid my taxes on time. I paid all the vehicle tax when I purchased this vehicle. Also, me and my wife moved away Groton, CT in 2011 to Las Vegas, NV during tax season we presented all of our documents from Connecticut and Nevada to our tax preparer. We filed and paid our taxes. I contacted the town of Groton and they said there was no tax bill especially since I was no longer a resident of Connecticut and that vehicle was transferred to Nevada. I brought a new vehicle in Nevada and that vehicle from CT was fully paid for and used as a trade in. I was officially a resident of Nevada in 2012. I have worked in Nevada and lived in the state of Nevada since 2011, and have all of my tax documents from the last 20 years. They are requesting taxes for a vehicle I haven't owned since 2012. Please stop all contact and trying to collect taxes that I don't owe. I moved in 2011 and I became a resident of Nevada in 2012 and no longer owned the vehicle, yet they are trying to collect taxes from July of 2012 and July 2013.Business response

Received very bogus shake down letter claiming that I owe for a car I bought while stationed in Groton while serving in the Navy. When I purchased the car, it was paid and registered for 3 years; included in the price to buy. So even if I was a resident, which I wasn't, the car wouldn't have taxes until well after I moved out of the state. They have taxes claimed for 2015; when I was living in Washington and not Connecticut, since 2014. The complaints here clearly show them going after military personnel, knowing full well we are exempt. Attached the "Final Notice" packaged letter I received, even though this is the only time I've been made aware of this. Account number *****************Business response

The bills that *** ********* is receiving are from the Town of Groton and City of New London. The tax collector’s offices are still showing these bills as outstanding. Motor Vehicle Taxes are based on the vehicle registration and charged per year on the registration being valid. Because *** ********* is Military Personnel, he can apply to have the bills removed as per the Military Exemption. He would then need to contact the Assessor’s office for each town or city for the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Affidavit for Exemption.

This company is relentlessly harassing me regarding taxes owed in the state off Connecticut despite never being a resident there. I was serving in the military while being stationed in the state from 2006 through 2010. This company needs to clear my file and remove the debt owed immediately.Business response
