    Default Collection of a Debt Owed to the Government

    Hi,

    can someone point me to precedent:

    Debt Collection Act § 5514, if an agency believes I have a debt takes me to a hearing and loses can they go after me again for the same debt but state a different reason? I know double jeopardy does not apply in administrative matters, but it seems like they try me, lose, and then try me again for the same debt. Please help or refer me to a low cost lawyer.

    They tried to collect on a debt, but their own judge ruled against them. Now they found another clause to charge me again. I filed for a hearing.

    Default Re: Collection of a Debt Owed to the Government

    If you're stating that the debt is 100% valid, but for some reason they were not able to establish a basis for an installment deduction under 5 USC Sec. 5514, then of course they can go back and try to correct whatever went wrong at the first hearing, or go back when the facts change and they believe whatever previously prevented them from getting an installment deduction for the money you owe is no longer an issue.
