My roommate's been having a lot of fun like this as well.  His ex in Oregon
decided she didn't like that he was late every six months or so, so she got
the local authorities to "encourage" him to go on a payroll deduction plan.
He actually didn't mind this, but what he didn't count on was the inevitable
bureaucratic snafus.  From the time they started pulling money out of his
paycheck to the time his ex started receiving the payments was about three
months.  Therefore, his ex reported him as three months behind and he was
forced to ante up for those three months, even though the money had already
been pulled from his paycheck.  He decided that it was cheaper to pay than
to deal with the cost and hassle of trying to get everyone's records
straightened out.  As others have mentioned in this thread, he was presumed
guilty by everyone he talked with.
