First Time Home buyers credit... JOKE! and Nightmare!

RANT TIME!!!  sorry guys I have to or go crazy-er!

We filed a 1040x for the home buyers credit in October of last year.  So you would think that surely by now we would have it.  But no, not yet.  With no apparent sign of it coming in the future.  Always I am told, its right around the corner, 6 weeks from this date, then 6 weeks from this new date.  It almost seems like everytime they send a letter it adds 6 weeks.

Well I say... STOP SENDING ME LETTERS!  By following directions giving everything plus extra of what they want, enough to have my identity stolen 12 times, I still have to wait.  The problem is to many scammers in the system, which doesn't surprise me cause one of the mortgage companies we looked at didn't want to do a VA loan, and suggested that many of her clients find a house, make an offer, apply for the credit, and then use it for the down payment so they can buy it.

I am just tired of the hoopla... let me tell you this.  If I could go back in time, I would seriously reconsider this credit.  At the very least I think the IRS should be honest about this whole thing and tell us it will take nearly a year so don't call us, because it is not going to happen before then.


*sigh*

UPDATE:

After nearly 7 months of jumping through hoops and calling... waiting... waiting... and waiting some more! It is finally approved, can you believe it. What a nightmare this has been, I am glad it is over now! Now just waiting for payment... just 1-2 weeks I laughed when they told me that. It seems to be a standard answer for them!
