The Great Water Shutoff Debacle - Day 4 - Complaint To The Michigan Attorney General

The following is my consumer complaint to the Michigan Attorney General.

The Meanies are coming for me......

Divdat Kiosk down without paper for receipt of payment
Earlier this summer, I encountered a DWSD worker attempting to disconnect my water on a Saturday morning for utility theft.

I was told that I had no water account and was stealing water.

I was able to have the worker put off the disconnection until Monday evening to give me time to resolve the issue.

I went to the DWSD, main office, to find out that I had no water account and had to pay a reconnection fee to turn my water back on.

I declined to pay the fee because my water was never disconnected, and to ensure that my water would not be shutoff, I made a payment of 10% with payment arrangements where I was paying $120 a month.

I am not eligible for community assistance through Wayne Metro because I am not recognized in the system having water service.

I am not eligible to request State Emergency Assistance because I am not recognized in by DHHS as having water service, where the state has cut my son's SNAP benefits.

I also went to the Detroit Police Department and filed a report to allege a situation of hacking of the City IT system for the disappearance of my water account because I have no other administrative remedy.

There was a spike in my water usage, that I could not justify in the months of October and November 2018.

I pay each month.

On November 15, 2019, Friday, around 5:00 p.m., I received a door hang which stated that my water service was due to be disrupted in 7 days, where the seventh day was identified as Monday, November 18, 2019.

Monday morning, while on the phone with DWSD to find out the situation, my water was shutoff.

I have never received a shutoff notice.

I requested to speak to a Supervisor to find out the process to request investigation and was told to "send a FOIA request to the attorney".

Who that attorney is, I have no idea, but was told it would be the Great Lakes Water Authority, of which is not registered as a business nor is it incorporated in the State of Michigan.

I was told that I broke my payment agreement.

I requested copy of my payment agreement, which was unsigned, without any dollar amounts specified for payment, as it was blank.

When I brought this to the attention of the Supervisor who continued to berate me that I broke the payment agreement, I was then told that I had no payment agreement, despite the Divdat Kiosk showing that I had payment arrangements.

On November 20, 2019, I went to the DWSD Grand River service center to schedule reconnection where I have a payment agreement, which is a hand written amount, completely different from the main office generate payment agreement.

I made a payment at the Divdat Kiosk, where it showed that my monthly payment was only $40.00 a month.

Later that day, there was a notice on the front porch that no one was home.

My oldest son was home all day waiting for the DWSD worker.

On November 21, 2019, I called to reschedule reconnection.

As of the time of this complaint, I still have no service.

I called and was told that I must now wait until Saturday, November, 23, 2019 for services to be reconnected.

I spoke to City of Detroit Corporate Counsel who was kind enough to inform me that the IT billing was "transferred" to the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), which, similar to the Detroit Land Bank Authority, is not registered as a business in the State of Michigan, nor is it incorporated.

I was told by the DWSD Supervisor that the GLWA "answers" to the Board of Water Commissioners.

The Detroit Board of Water Commissioners is an appointed by the Mayor of Detroit, but the Board of Water Commissioners does not exist which begs the question: "how does one make checks or money orders payable to the Board of Water Commissioners" and not the City of Detroit?

It also begs the question: "how does the Board of Water Commissioners cash checks when it does not possess the legal instruments to open a bank account?"

I would also like to note that my water and sewage payments, that I formally requested to be printed out from the main DWSD office, do not pair with my bank activities.

I am extremely upset, not just because my water service was disrupted, but because there is no due process.

I am 54 years of age and I have never had my water shutoff.

I could have made the payment.

I could have reached out for immediate assistance.

This is how I know it is an illegal operation because it is the exact same thing that was done in the City of Hamtramck, where water service was terminated, en masse, on election day, where the same line to pay for water reconnection was the same line to vote, where if you water is terminated, your vote was tossed, under the guise of condemnation of the property for lack of water utility.

I smell bitcoin through Divdat and the City IT Department.

I believe this is a pattern of practice for the purposes of personal inurement through the Great Lakes Water Authority individuals.

It is my belief this is a predatory fraud scheme targeting the poor to acquire Detroit properties through quiet title in the historic districts, mainly Russel Woods Sullivan.

I only state this because the City of Detroit is in the process of initiating foreclosure on my property based upon a "debt of my business" that was dissolved by the former Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, named Detroit Land Bank Authority, LLC.

The mysterious debt was fraudulently converted to be a property tax, despite the fact that I have been granted the poverty property tax exemption for the past three years.

I have filed complaint with City Councilman Gabe Leland and was dismissed by his staff.

I have filed complaint with the Office of the Mayor, and was dismissed by staff.

I have contacted Detroit Corporate Counsel and was told it would take "a few days" to figure it out.

Please note that Gary Brown, the DWSD Director does not possess an S1 license.

I pay money yet get no water.

Why?

I believe the hustle is with the late fees, shutoff fees, reconnection fees because there is no due process to complain, as it is a private operation, meaning, I must hire an attorney to advocate, which means if an individual can afford legal representation, they can afford payment.

Go get them all.

Make it stop.

People have died.

I am requesting immediate assistance to have my water services restored.

All documentation can be found on my blog.

As this has just popped up, I would like to share that I have formally filed an instrument of authority with the State of Michigan to support everything I wrote in this post.
