Tax Resolution Services, Co. (aka: Tax Defense Partners) is heavidly advertised on talk radio. i heard their "live" testimonial ads multiple times from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity.
I had an outstanding payroll tax isuue for my company from 2007 - 2008 and thought they could help me arrange a paymeny plan with the IRS, and possibly, get me a reduction in what I owed in penalties and interest.
As the commericial stated, I didn't want the IRS to sieze my accounts or levy them. I wanted to address the problem up front and needed a professional organization to help guide me in dealing with the IRS.
$15,000 later (the up front fees for my case) and 5 years I had the following. My accounts were levied and siezed. The IRS sent letters to all my vendors garnishing our recievables. I ended up with a payment plan that was 8 x higher than the starting agreement with the IRS.
It was a disaster and people need to not use these services. it would had been nice to use the $15,000 I gave them to pay down what I owed.
This company is ripping people off by telling them they can help them negotiate with the IRS. They cannot. They say they can keep from having accounts levied or garnished. They cannot.
The customer service was terrible and non-responsive unless you badgered them.
It took the IRS almost 3 years to assign a RO to my case.
After that it appeared more like the people at Tax Resolution Services, Co. (aka: Tax Defense Partners) were working with the IRS than representing me.
I only spoke to the lawyer once.
This company needs to be investigated by the California Bar and the US Attorney General.
The slimy talk radio personality's only care about the advertising revenue and could care less about how their listeners get mistreated.
I decided to write a cause i think after all is said and done for my husband, I married into the tax issue),we certainly didn't get the bang for our buck! we paid over $8000. Up front, it has taken years to finally have resolution, our story is very similar to the other ladies that filed the
The resolution only occurred after i took the bull by the horns and made the calls to irs myself, always having to get permission from my husband to discuss the issue, but he gave full power of attorney to trs, and they never seemed to get the job done, not answering phone calls, You never get to talk to anyone, always leave a message), not answering emails,it was the most frustrating thing i've ever tried to handle.
This by the way took several years, he had 2 years old unfiled tax returns and i can say after i hired a local accountant for another $600 to recreate those years of business He was self-employed at the time), then getting that info to trs, that is the only fruitful thing trs did was make his personal and business filings for those 2 missed years. But considering the work my local accountant did for $600. Vs trs for $8000+ my recommendation to anyone feeling they need assistance in this area, just go find someone local that you can keep in contact with, and address issues on a personal level.
Trs sent me a letter i received today it is dated 10/2/2015, it was called their closing letter, just to inform me off the settlement i made with the irs back in may 2015, i certainly didn't need them to reiterate the details i worked out with the irs, i did it!
Im not saying they don't help with anything, they gave me a temporary peace of mind, but they are horrid with follow through and when it's down to the actual negotiation they are awful, also if you are not understand ing the irs agent you talk with if you call yourself, make the call brief and call back and talk to someone else!
It took several calls to get to a person that really understood our situation and gave us the best advice, the othe complaint ant is right they just want to make the collection in a reasonable manner and make it work for everyone!
