Summary

Summary
An administrative investigation substantiated that a Medical Center Director failed to satisfy, in good faith, his just financial obligations, to include charges on his Government contractor-issued travel charge card, an automobile loan, real estate property taxes, and Federal and State income taxes. As a result of the Director failing to pay his travel card, the contractor revoked it, and his failure to pay his other debts resulted in the repossession of his automobile, the sale of his house at a delinquent tax auction, the referral of delinquent State income taxes to a collections agency, and aggressive bill collectors calling his VA office, creating a stressful work environment for his staff. VA agreed to take appropriate administrative action against the Director.
