2. The applicant requests remission or cancellation of indebtedness in the amount of $585.68 which was collected prior to the commanders approval of the remission of indebtedness.
3. The applicants military records show that he is currently serving on active duty in pay grade E-6. In 1994, he made an intra-theater move from Berlin to Hohenfels, Germany. Subsequently, he was informed that he was indebted to the Government in the amount of $890.88 for excess shipment of household goods. The applicants request for remission of indebtedness was approved, (the date of the action is not available); however, $585.68 previously collected were not reimbursed.
4. In the processing of this case, a staff advisory opinion was obtained from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service/Indianapolis (DFAS/I) which advised that the original debt basis and amount were partially invalid; that the applicant owed the Government only $79.84 for 234 lb of excess weight household goods. However since $585.68 was previously withheld from his pay, he is entitled to a reimbursement of $505.84.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The basis for the applicants indebtedness was an overweight shipment of household good. However, since the basis for the amount was partially invalid, he owes the Government only $79.84 vice the $585.68 which was deducted from his pay.
2. In view of the foregoing, it would be just to reimburse the applicant for the difference in the amount of $505.84.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the individual concerned is entitled to reimbursement of $505.84.
2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.

The applicant questioned the TMO regarding exceeding his weight allowance since his previous PCS shipment was not in excess of the allowance, as he had not received a notification of excess cost for the move. The applicant was informed that he may have exceeded his HHGs weight allowance and could have requested the shipment be reweighed at that time. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicants complete submission, we are persuaded the failure to timely notify the...

He argued that having to pay more than $6,000 above what he expected to pay for the overage because of misinformation he received from the Transportation Office is a sig- nificant injustice given that he “used an authorized government supported web site to calculate my overage cost as directed by a government expert.” APPLICABLE LAW Article 11.F. § 461, the Secretary may remit or cancel the debt of an enlisted member to the United States “when recovery would be against equity and good...
