Complaint Review: TAX INCORPORATED - Los Angeles California

On Aug. 4th 2006, my husband was under severe stress from the IRS demanding $67,000.00 from him back from 1980. We knew that this was wrong and that there must be a mistake because he had declared a bankruptcy on Feb 19th of 2004 and all his past debts including past taxes had been discharged and we had the paper. however the IRS decided to collect and would not accept an offer in compromise and we saw the ad for this company on MSNBC so we thought they must be reputable and i called them.

A fgirl by the name of Rebecca picked up the line and after she had convinced me that she knew what she was doing, (and I am not a novice, I have an honorary Doctorate in law". any way she said because you guys have been through so much we will only charge you $4200.00 but in order for us to begin immediatelly we have to have the money by this afternoon before three(3.00pm) so we rushed to the bank and sent the money.

A week later we received a bunch of papers that i had to fill out, the usual information that the IRS needs for an Offer in compromise, any way I did all they had asked and they had also sent several signed contracts that these people will be representing him and their signatures on the form 2848 (Power of attorney)and one form 8821 which is a Tax authorization .

To make a long story short, I personally sent them all the information that they possibly needed to take thiscase before an appeals Judge and win .We called them at least once a week , no one was ever there, and no one ever called us back. I faxed them letters , we kept getting letters from the IRS and we would fax it to them , but never heard from them.

In February of 2007 we got the last letter from the IRs stating that if we did not pay the amount of $94,000.00 they would go to my husbands job and take all his paychecks and all his money out of his bank accounts etc. "attempt to levey on all assets. At that time I had been through so much with the IRS and my husband had developed a heart problem any way i had a stroke at the age of 46 and then we called about 30 different attorneys in order to find one good "TAX attorney" THEY ARE VERY HARD TO COMEBY IN PHOENIX,AZ. We finally found a guy that worked for a company by the name of "united Tax Front" after drilling him for hours we decided to have him call the Tax incorporated people and see what was happening since thjey would not answer our calls. Well. he put us on a conference call and after being hung up on more than 10 times by these people from Tax Incorporated, finally this new attorney got so mad that he asked for the CEO or any supervisor or manager, and the guy at the swich board very reluctantly conected him to the so called CEO.

The C.E.O. a Mr. Tico, was a very rude man, however after speaking to our attorney for a few minutes he said : fine have your client write a paper demanding his files and I will fax it to you. Our attorney had already forseen that and he had told my husband to sign the demand paper and fax it to them so it was already in their fax machine when this demand was made. You would think at this time Mr. Tico faxed us the file of all the work that they had done for the past 7 months, right? Well, we got the paper that Mr. Tico faxed us and it reads: " Since you guys went and got yourselves another lawyer we have deleted all your files." This is an honest to God truth and here is the worst part, there is nothing that we can do about it but to write thius report.

I truly hope and pray that someone from the media or an attorney who is willing to sue this organization will read this and contact me. The fact is that this same company is still advertizing on the Hallmark channel as well as several others. the fact is that the IRS is harder on people now than they have ever been and for that reason alone companies like this prosper while the avrage American family will suffer great losses at the hands of these idiots. Yes, we could have reported this to the Consumer Affairs and they gave us every right that we should have gotten our money back. But , neither the consumer Affairs nor the Better Business Bureau has any legally inforcable say so. Nor do we unfortunatelly. If you look at this company's ratings you will see that they got a negative (F). Yet they are raking in the big bucks, and if we were to sue them in court. Well, first of all we offered several attornys the case but there wasen't enough money in it, even with penalty's. If we took them to court ourselves and the judge said: "Tax Incorporated has to pay the sum of $42000.00 plus damages to the Taylors, we still could not collect because they could default. So if anyone could possibly help me and my husband to get our nmoney back from these evil gouls who pray on people like us, Please contact me.

FOR GOD SAKES NEVER TRY TO USE THIS CORPORATION FOR ANY REASON.

In an effort to help us and people like us you may go on "google" search and feel free to click on their name ":Tax Incorporated" as many times a day as possible, I believe they have to pay google for each hit. I hope to hear from someone. Thanks. Suzan.Glendale, AZ.
