              03/06/2024

              I hired Anthem Tax Services two years ago requesting that they do an Offer In Compromise with the IRS. I was making small installments at the time since I was out of a job due to COVID. They informed me to not make any payments to the IRS now that they have picked up my case. Their fee was $4,200 of which they ended up linking me to a financial lender and that lender paid their fee directly, To-date since 2021, I have been paying $157 dollars. For the two years all they have done is toss me from one rep to another in their firm requesting new documents and forms to be filled. After two years, they came back and said that the Offer In Compromise is not doable since my financial situation has improved and they cant reduce the IRS debt. All they can do is put me on an installment agreement with the IRS at a high monthly payment ranging from $700 to a $1000. They are a big rip off and they take advantage of tax payers. During the two years, the IRS added penalties due to not making any payments to them. I'm in a worser place today than I was two years ago.
