DCSS sent me a letter that my case was terminated I relied on that and now I owe arrears. Is this detrimental reliance?
I received a letter from DCSS that my support case was terminated, no other information was enclosed. I checked the DCSS website and saw that my balance was $0. 14 months later my wages were garnished by DCSS, turns out my case wasn't terminated and they recently reopened it. Now I owe arrears for those 14 months where I thought my case was terminated, I would have paid those months at the time if I hadn't been told my case was terminated. Can I get the arrears set aside or modified because I detrimentally relied on the letter from DCSS? It doesn't feel fair that they expect me to pay arrears and interest for the time period which they told me my case was terminated.
