I had a constable call yesterday and say he was verifying my address so he could deliver a document.  The document turned out to be a law suit alleging that I owed a bunch of property taxes to the county from tax year 2019 for my company, Friendly Connections IT.  I got the document and began calling.  Thing is the company was terminated in July of 2018 a fact fully documented by the state in a certificate that I had sent the county twice before.  So we did the round and round.
