Hey, I actually just today got a letter thats yet another example of this.

I got a notice from the government collections agency that they will start seizing two thirds of any transfers to my Finnish bank accounts to pay for a debt that was paid three years ago.

This has already been sorted out in the courts a year ago, a judge has confirmed that I did in fact pay said debt in 2013. Nevertheless, today the collections agency decided that it can just ignore the courts decision and start seizing my funds.

I just tried calling them, not once but four times. Each time I was given a different phone number to call, and each time nobody picked up. In fact two of the phone numbers had full voicemail boxes. Finally I managed to get an email address out of them.

This is the kind of incompetence that the Finnish government allows to thrive, I've been trying to sort this out for 3 years now and have received several acknowledgements that it's sorted out. I even had a court confirm this.

I feel that such incompetence simply shouldn't have a place in a civilised society.
