I have read many of the accounts that have been left on this board. The same issues have applied to all of us:
- $2000 or more lost
- Never a return call from TRA
- IRS never called or updated on time
- TRA Closed business without warning
- Levies / garnishments not taken care of
In my case, I was working with TRA since July. Richard Hargus was my case worker. Richard was always very difficult to reach.in a recent report I was given to me by the IRS, Richard rarely contacted them. What Richard told the my wife and I was that he was in "constant contact with the IRS and was getting close to s settlement amount with the IRS for an OIC". The report I have from the IRS stated he called them only 2 times in 05 and never had conversations about an OIC.
In late March, I was informed that he was no longer employed by TRA. It took my the better part of April to get somebody to speak with me at TRA to speak with. I spoke with the alleged new President - Robert P and he said that a new case worker was being asigned and that the IRS would be contacted to alert of the new change. Nothing ever happened.
We have all lost money from TRA and we will never see the money again. It is my hope that through boards like this, local authorities and the California state BAR can put these people behind bars.
My question is that if TRA lied to us as clients on important tax matters, what legal recourse do we have? Could TRA people be prosecuted?
