AAFES (military exchange) debtors who want to resolve debt voluntarily cannot reach a customer service representative due to dropped calls and inaccessible support. The inaccessibility forces the agency to pursue involuntary tax refund seizures against debtors who are actively trying to pay. This creates a structural failure where willingness to repay is irrelevant because the payment pathway doesn't exist.
