    I was contacted by a representative stating i could enter a plan paying them directly and zero payments would be due to the ***. Also stating I would never have to pay this money back unless i won the lottery. Never sent me a copy of the agreement, while waiting for a Tax professional to call me back and once contacted stated that what was explained to me in the initial call is not an option. at that point i asked to cancel, therefore them resulting in sending me the agreement with no refund since it was past the 7 days. they bait and switch you and take your money. I needed help, not someone to take money i did not have.

    I contacted this company to assist with fighting with the *** to correct a balance that was incorrect. I sent documents, signed authorization to allow them to access my records and then after what felt like forever I reached out because I hadn't heard from them, they said that I hadn't submitted any documents to them. So again I sent everything I had fromt the ***, letters, emails, and payments. I also sent in tax returns to show that they were inccorect. I signed an agreement and paid them $2450.00 to help. I thought well that's better than what I owe the *** at this point and thought this will help. Aftewr a few months of back and forth I was told that there was nothing they could do for me. They sent me an email stating that everything the *** had sent me was correct. They promised that they could fix this and I would end up paying nothing. I asked them to keep working on this and was told that they closed my case and that was that. I am now out this money and still owe the *** 15K. They basically did nothing to help me and paid them to tell me what I already knew.

    I contacted tax defense about helping with my tax debt. Contacted about state and federal tax debt. Seeking resolution on both. The whole process took about a year. In the meantime I had to come to my own resolution with state before garnishment of wages. They finally contacted state and confirmed the payment I had to set up. No work there. Then they informed me they were done without addressing federal. I had to mail back contract because she didn't know what was on it. Then she said she would have to talk to her boss and get back to me. I was then ghosted and her phone number no longer received calls. At which point I had to reach out to customer service to get answers. I got a return out of them. Long story short I did all the work and am still out 3k with zero mitigated interest or fees.
