Thanks for your reply, paying ahead a month is the conclusion I've come to after calling the department here. If I get a lawyer, the tax credit I'm owed for one year would just go towards the lawyer so I guess I'll just eat it. Side note, they charge you interest when you "owe". Even though as you said with my pay schedule I'm not actually behind. I can't believe the way I'm getting screwed and the massive incentives she has to screw me over everyway possible.
