Associated Tax Relief did not live up to their promises made to me. I signed up with ATR to have them help me file all the years I did not file (that took 2 years) and them help me with the Offer in Compromise application (6 months). After it was all through the IRS denied my Offer and now ATR will not answer my phone calls or emails. The associate I was assigned to (the 3rd one), can no longer recieve phone messages. His phone messages are full.
Yesterday, I spoke with the receptionist and was told he was reviewing my file and would get back to me that day. No call from my associate. No suprise. I guess I am on my own now, which I probably have been from the start but did not know it. I paid ATR $3900 to handle my case.
Yesterday I called their sales department and gave them my same particulars I did 2 years ago and was told that they could reduce my tax liability by 90% and it would be done in 6 months. Don't believe it. Never happen. The IRS was not suprised that I had been scammed by ATR. They could never reach them either about my case.
Apparently I was on my own from the start. ATR never negoiated with the IRS on my behalf. All they did was help me with filing some returns and applying for an Offer in Compromise that was rejected. It was rejected for many errors in the application which I am not in the process of trying to correct.
