I am a veteran with a debt to the VA hospital in Elsmere, Delaware. From 2001 to 2006, I was charged co-payments at the VA hospital. The last bill I received was in October 2006. On March 25, they took my entire disability check without prior notification, claiming I owe them an additional $4,800. They have sent me forms for a payment plan but I haven't filled them out yet. They stated they don't send letters, and my last bill in 2006 is considered my notification of the debt. My questions are: were they right to take my check without notifying me, why did they take my whole check, and if I start a new payment plan, does the statute of limitations start over? What can I do about this?

I hired a lawyer in 2011 to represent me. We have a signed agreement. However, the lawyer moved his law office located in Westchester, New York without informing me. The lawyer is not taking my calls. Is there any way I can find his new law office? I want to send his office a letter using a mail delivery confirmation service, so I have it on file that I made an attempt to contact the lawyer. Ultimately, I will end up suing the lawyer. However, for now, I just want to locate his new office and send him a letter.
