When is the VA gunna stop fucking with my life?
So i made first contact today with my fiduciary today and it was a fucking nightmare.
Me: So can you explain how all this works?
Her: So basically your VA check goes into my own account, and then I pay all your bills with it.
Me: So what about my personal needs?
Her: ill send you the 500$ that you states you needed during your interview.
Me: What? Just 500? I only have 2000$ in bills total including groceries. Where is the rest of the money gunna go?
Her: the rest that goes into the savings account, i get 4% a month of whatever is in the savings account.
Me: Wait, i was not told ANY of this during the interview. So if it goes into a savings account, do I have access to it?
Her: No, you are not entitled to see your finances, you were labled incompetant by the VA so I am in charge of your finances now.
Me: Excuse me? How do I know that it gets paid? I need to know that stuff. I have a mortgage and a car.
Her: You are not allowed to see your account.
(At this point my blood is a little below boiling)
Me: Okay so if I need money for groceries are you going to transfer it into my account?
Me: Okay so how am I supposed to go grocery shopping.
Her: if you have a problem call the feduciary hub.
(At this point i had to pass the phone off before I said something I would have regret)
Any Veteran reading this, let this be a warning of whats to come if the VA tries to give you a fiduciary. If they try GET A FUCKING LAWYER. DO NOT WAIT. I was lied to multiple times so its probably already too late for me, but if the VA says you need fiduciary with almost substantiated evidence like me, get a medical proffesional to confirm that despite your diagnosis of ptsd or whatever disorder you have, you are capable of handling your financial affairs.
As of Now i lost my firearm rights without even commiting a crime (i havnt even gotten a speeding ticket in 4 years), and without my day in court, and now I lost my financial managing rights. From what Im reading across the board, the fiduciary system is run by nothing but criminals who steal and scam veterans money on a daily basis. At this point, the woman controlling my finances probably wont let me get a lawyer. 4000$ of backpay is apparently missing because she also stated that I am not allowed to use any of my personal finances for 3 months. Today was my first contact with my financial manager and evidence is already pointing to my paychecks being stolen.
DO NOT LET THEM GIVE YOU FIDUCIARY.
