I contacted Tax Defense Network because I was in trouble with the IRS and needless to say embarrassed about it, so reaching out was tough. They had a good rating with the Better Business Bureau so despite the representatives rude behavior on the telephone I agreed to hire them. They told me if I didn't, I'd be facing jail time, which I found out later was a lie. I was in trouble with the IRS, but not that much trouble. I felt like I was strong armed into an agreement that I knew very little about. Without telling me, Tax Defense Network gave themselves power of attorney to sign all my documents and put in paperwork that basically makes it so you don't pay your taxes until the IRS processes the papers which takes up to two years. These papers don't decrease the amount you owe-all they do is buy time and once you file them you can't take them back. My issue was never that I needed more time. I will still be unable to pay what they're saying I owe in a few years. I needed a reduction not extra time. Now, this weight will be held over me for years and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Tax Defense Network never consulted with me first and when I called demanding my money back they told me no way. I feel ripped off and appalled that this happened.
