Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
United States Tax Relief Agency I paid over $3,500 over 3 years ago and nothing has been done like I was told 12340 Seal Beach Blvd, Bldg. B, Fiffh Floor California
Three Years ago me and my husband decided to try and get his tax situation taken care of once and for all so we didn't have to worry anymore. So I looked around a little bit and found United States Tax Relief called and spoke to Mike Gill and he told me the same things as he has told all of you on here Richard Hargus will be the best person for your tax debt we need to collect $3,600 and an additional $200.00 for the state taxes he will have to file for you. Let me tell you he was a smooth talker cause I don't let that much money go unless I feel comfortable, which I did at the time. but now I feel like a complete idiot. During the last 3 years Richard has returned my phone calls maybe 5 times and responded to my emails 8 times He did how ever do some work for us but to what extent I don't know. My husband has had his check levied which left him with $136.00 to last a family of six to live on for two weeks and guess what our rent was due that pay period also so we had to barrow money from family to pay our rent this was one of the times Richard returned my frantic phone calls and he said he would talk to the IRS and lift a levy that should have never happened cause we were already paying the IRS 245.00 a month for almost a year why all of a sudden are they doing this to us now I wondered he said he would take care of it needless to say we never got that money back I would really like to find some people to start a class action lawsuit against these people for giving us false hope and false security and empty promises and taking our money which put us in further debt with already a big enough problem How can they sleep at night knowing that they are effecting peoples lives and playing with them as if they were toys.

First I would like to apologize to Richard Hargus for saying some of the things that I said on my first report! I still feel that it was wrong of Michael Gill to do what he did to people that trusted him but Richard did what he could to help me I over re-acted when I couldn't get in touch with him and I heard the message on his answering machine, that is why I went to rip off report, you are right Richard you did contact me more then I stated in my first comments and you did set up the payment plan for us you also filed all the taxes years for us.. I would still hope that you will be willing to help us if we need your help I am sorry for any harm this might have done to you and your family I understand now that this was probley as big of a shock to you as it was to us. I hope you accept my apology and will email me after you read this with a response... but I really hope Michael Gill gets what is coming to him carma is a B****. For all the people involved I am sorry but Richard did do alot for us my frustrations are with Michael Gill not Richard he did what he could!!! Thank you Dalanie Colorado Springs

Delanie: Based on the information that you posted on rip-off report that I only spoke to you 5 times and e-mailed you only 8 times I find according to my records (call logs and e-mails) that this is not true. I have called you or taken your calls 36 times and exchanged e-mails at least 13 times. This is just what I have in my records and doesn't even include all of the contacts in USTRA's Goldmine account which I no longer have access to. This is a far cry from your numbers. And to say I only did a little bit of work for you is also not true. I have records of everything that we did for you over the past 3 years. If you will look at your contract it should state that it is good only for one year and I have been working on your case for the other 2 years for free. In fact, I was not even paid for working and completing your case by USTRA. However, I still continued to be willing to help you with your tax matter regardless of this fact. I have proof of all the work, phone calls, and e-mails that we made on your case and what you stated in the rip off report is incorrect. You state that you want to start a class action suit based on the work that was completed on your case. However, your work was completed and then I even went above and beyond to try to assist you. Your contract with USTRA called for and Offer in Compromise and /or installment agreement. I have prepared and provided for you paperwork to file for an Offer In Compromise on more than one occasion. I completed all of your past due tax returns. You were also set up on an installment agreement with a VERY affordable payment plan (slightly over $20 monthly), which I myself was surprised I was able to obtain for you at such a low amount. Your claims are invalid and I have proof and documentation of all of the work that was completed for you on your behalf. Your allegations against me are verifiably untrue. In fact, your husbands levy was due to the fact that you defaulted on a payment plan which was set up for you. According to your contract with USTRA, this would have voided your contract due to default. However, I went in and set the payment plan up again and prepared another offer for you of which you still have not mailed in to the IRS for processing. This is the second time that I prepared an offer for you that you did not mail in for processing. Now another tax year has come, and that return will have to be prepared and filed before you can submit an offer. I told you that I would not prepare this tax return, but even went so far as to file an extension for you free of charge as well. Up until now, I have continued to offered to help and assist you with regards to your tax matter on my own time and without pay. However, this is now no longer true and this will conclude my work for you. I will revoke my power of attorney immediately. Richard Hargus

I remember when you first called in. I answered it. I have nothing to say as far as Mr. Gill. However, Mr. Hargus is a good man and I wouldn't blame him for anything. He was following orders given by Mr. Gill. I will be completely honest with you when I say that at that time I believed everything Mr. Gill was saying too. I wish you all the best.
