    This is for the ***** *************** Legal Tax Defense branch in ****** **. I hired their service to help me with *** tax problem. I talk to one of their representative in September 2023 and told them I want to do Offer in Compromise, they worked on my case, had me filled up a OIC questionnaire which I didnt qualify but they didnt tell me I didnt qualify and just proceed to negotiate with *** to lessen the interest supposedly from 18% to 5% and they wanted me to set up a payment arrangement. All that time I didnt get any communication from them and Its really hard to get ahold of them when you try to call, the lady that answers always tells you that your case manager would call back but they never will, and its a different case manager every month. They emailed me every month to sign ***** of ******** letter cus they say it expired? I told them I didnt want this route as my initial plan is OIC but they wouldnt refund me because according to the manager they couldnt just give me a refund if im not satisfied with their service? Its not the service I wanted in the first place. I just want my $2,500 refund back. This company is really predatory and shady practice. I didnt sign anything that says I want to make a payment plan to the *** but they told me I did sign.

    Scam artists buy beware if it seems too good to be true it is ************ does not deliver. They talk a good game, but at the end of the day you left, holding the bag and nothing too show for it it seemed too good to be true they promised to review my case, and all the agents played their parts real well here it is, one month before filing deadline, and I have heard nothing from them regarding my case my file, and I am out a substantial amount of money. When you call them you get no response the only time you hear from them is when the next payment is due and none of their partners or caseworkers cant answer a question and when pressed catch a quick to go under defensive. I would have been better off, cleaning my case to the *** and taking it into my own hands.
