Elder and Dependent Abuse FAQs - elder_abuse_selfhelp
Depending on the reasons why you want to drop your restraining order, there may be other options that can address your concerns while leaving the protection of the restraining order in place.
If you are feeling pressure by the restrained person to drop the restraining order, it is very important you think very seriously about whether dropping the restraining order will be best for you. If you end up having to refile, you will have to start the process all over again. And there may be other ways for you to deal with these pressures. Talk to a counselor or a lawyer for help in deciding what to do.

Q: What is CLETS?

A: CLETS stands for California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System. It is a statewide computer system that lets police know about the existence of a restraining order, including details on the person protected, the person restrained, and the terms of the restraining order.

Q: I have a restraining order against me and I have to sell or store my gun. How do do that?

A: If you prefer to sell or store your gun with a licensed firearms dealer (as opposed to turning it in to law enforcement), look for a licensed gun dealer in your area. Look for “Firearms Dealers” in your area online or in your local phone book. Make sure the dealer is licensed. You will have to give the court paperwork proving that you sold or are storing your gun, and only a licensed gun dealer can help you provide this proof. You can use the form Proof of Firearms Turned In, Sold or Stored (Form EA-800) to file proof with the court.
For more information about selling your firearms, read How Do I Turn in, Sell or Store My Firearms? (Form EA-800-INFO).

Q: How do I take my gun to law enforcement?

A: Call your local law enforcement agency to ask about their procedures. Take a copy of the restraining order with you. Go directly to the law enforcement agency. Do not go anywhere else with guns in your vehicle! Make sure your gun is unloaded when you turn it in.
For more information about turning in your firearms, read How Do I Turn in, Sell, or Store My Firearms?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Grievance Procedure described below is established in accordance with the requirements of the ADA of 1990.
To submit a grievance:

Fill out the ADA Grievance Form (FTB 5722). Persons with disabilities can request other means of filing complaints, such as personal interviews or telephone interviews. Contact the ADA Grievance Coordinator.
Submit the form to the ADA Grievance Coordinator.

After you submit your grievance, we will be in touch with you:

Acknowledgment: We’ll contact you within 12 working days to let you know we’ve received your grievance.
Informal resolution: Within 60 calendar days after we’ve received your grievance, we will complete the investigation to determine the validity of the alleged violation. If needed, the ADA Grievance Coordinator or designee may arrange to meet with you (the grievant) to discuss the matter and try to reach an informal resolution of the grievance. We will document any informal resolution of the grievance and close the case.
Written determination: If we do not reach an informal resolution within 75 calendar days after weâve received your response, a written determination of the validity of the complaint and description of the resolution, if appropriate, will be sent to the Executive Officer for approval.
Final determination and resolution: We will contact you (the grievant) with the determination and resolution within 90 calendar days after we’ve received your grievance. The Executive Officer may authorize additional time for consideration of the grievance. If this happens, we’ll let you (the grievant) know. 

If you disagree with our response to your grievance, you can request a reconsideration of our response. The Executive Officer will review your request and make a decision. 
If at any stage of the process you’re not satisfied with how we handled the grievance or do not want to file the grievance through us, you may file a complaint directly with the U.S. Department of Justice or other appropriate state or federal agencies. You’re not required to use our grievance procedure first before you pursue other ways to file a grievance.
Penalties | Internal Revenue Service
We may be able to remove or reduce some penalties if you acted in good faith and can show reasonable cause for why you weren’t able to meet your tax obligations. By law we cannot remove or reduce interest unless the penalty is removed or reduced.
For more information, see penalty relief.
Dispute a penalty
If you disagree with the amount you owe, you may dispute the penalty.
Call us at the toll-free number at the top right corner of your notice or letter or write us a letter stating why we should reconsider the penalty. Sign and send your letter along with any supporting documents to the address on your notice.
Have this information when you call or send your letter:
The notice or letter we sent you
The penalty you want us to reconsider (for example, a 2021 late filing penalty)
For each penalty, an explanation of why you think we should remove it
If a notice or letter we sent you has instructions or deadlines for disputing the penalty, pay careful attention. You must follow the instructions to dispute the penalty.
If you didn’t receive a notice or letter, get telephone assistance.
Avoid a penalty
You can avoid a penalty by filing accurate returns, paying your tax by the due date, and furnishing any information returns timely. If you can’t do so, you can apply for an extension of time to file or a payment plan.
Apply for an extension of time to file
If you need more time to prepare your tax return, apply for an extension of time to file. This does not grant you an extension of time to pay. A payment plan can help you pay over time.
Apply for a payment plan
If you can't pay the full amount of your taxes or penalty on time, pay what you can now and apply for a payment plan. You may reduce future penalties when you set up a payment plan.

If you can't pay your traffic ticket fine
If you can't afford to pay your traffic ticket fine, you can ask the court to lower the fine, set up a payment plan, give you more time to pay, or do community service instead. This is sometimes called an ability to pay determination. 

 
 
Get information from the court
The court handling your ticket has information on how to look up your ticket or pay.

How to ask the court to lower the fine
Once the court decides that you owe a fine and sets the amount, you can ask the court to consider your ability to pay the fine. When you make the request, you will need to give the court information about your financial situation. 
You can use this for traffic ticket fines as well as other infraction fines, like a ticket for fishing without a license.

Submit a complaint

Having trouble with a financial product or service? If you've already tried reaching out to the company and still have an issue, you can submit a complaint.
No Fear Act
If you believe that you have been the victim of unlawful discrimination on the basis of age, you must either contact an EEO counselor as noted above or give notice of intent to sue to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory action. If you are alleging discrimination based on marital status or political affiliation, you may file a written complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (see contact information below). In the alternative (or in some cases, in addition), you may pursue a discrimination complaint by filing a grievance through your agency's administrative or negotiated grievance procedures, if such procedures apply and are available.
Whistleblower Protection Laws
A Federal employee with authority to take, direct others to take, recommend or approve any personnel action must not use that authority to take or fail to take, or threaten to take or fail to take, a personnel action against an employee or applicant because of disclosure of information by that individual that is reasonably believed to evidence violations of law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, unless disclosure of such information is specifically prohibited by law and such information is specifically required by Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs.
Retaliation against an employee or applicant for making a protected disclosure is prohibited by 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8). If you believe that you have been the victim of whistleblower retaliation, you may file a written complaint (Form OSC-11) with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel at 1730 M Street NW., Suite 218, Washington, DC 20036-4505 or online through the OSC website.
Retaliation for Engaging in Protected Activity
A Federal agency cannot retaliate against an employee or applicant because that individual exercises his or her rights under any of the Federal antidiscrimination or whistleblower protections laws listed above. If you believe that you are the victim of retaliation for engaging in protected activity, you must follow, as appropriate, the procedures described in the Antidiscrimination Laws and Whistleblower Protection Laws sections or, if applicable, the administrative or negotiated grievance procedures in order to pursue any legal remedy.
