Tax Incorporated
Ted Heater, Vahan Hart, ALL AFFILIATES TAX INCOORPORATED Took my MONEY & HUNG me OUT TO DRY, when I NEEDED HELP desperately!

This Company & these people are the worst kind of humans! Thoughtless, inconsiderate, uncompassionate, rude and completely inept. They will lie to you and STEAL your money when you can least afford it! They did to me...

I called them after googling and finding an endorsement from CNN around March 1. The person who took my call was Ted, "Teddy" (ha-ha) Heater. A seasoned SALESMAN he talks a smooth game. He told me that, "they couldn't help everyone", but that "my case had an EXTREMELY high chance of being settled for much less than my debt due to the circustances that put me in this position to begin with, i.E., my son became disabled". And, "since I had no assets" I was in an even better position to bargain with the IRS & the State Income Taxes that I owed to arrive at a settlement within 3-6 months. He told me that I had to "bank wire" (MISTAKEWhy don't they accept your credit card?) 1/2 of the $4,200.00 fee and then they would IMMEDIATELY get to work on my case. I told him that I only had 1/2 of that. He said no problem, I will set you up to pay the balance later. I sent the money. They sent me a package with a Power of Attorney form which I promptly signed and sent back. He (Ted) demanded that I file my 2006 Tax Return, I complied. Basically I did EVERYTHING that they asked me to as soon as I was asked.

Thirty days later, without any contact from them, they tried to automatically debit my bank account for the balance of $2,200.00. They caused my rent check to bounce (embarrassing) and cost me overdraft fees. I called and he apologized and then agreed to have the remaining fee available to him in 30 days, which I did. They again took it electronically from my checking account. Now 60 days time has passed, I asked for an update on my account. I got no response. I emailed several times, then I started calling them. I got put through to voice mail and no one returned my calls. The IRS meantime was sending me repeated letters threatening me. I faxed each and everyone of these letters over to Tax Incorporated. When Ted Heater finally called me back, he acted "surprised" that the IRS was contacting me and told me that, "my account was on hold & that he had the documentation in front of him". He told me many times to "ignore the letters from the IRS". I did so.

On August 7, the IRS sent my employer a Levy of my Wages. Not only was i totally embarrassed, but very upset. When I called Tax, Inc. The girls answering the telephone were outright RUDE. I was reprimanded for dialing the 800 number instead of the client number that they provided to me, but I was at work and didn't have access to it. I had to listen to a 10 minute lecture from this girl before she put me through to Ted's voice mail. He told me AND MY EMPLOYER WHO CALLED HIM DIRECTLY, that the "Levy was invalid and to ignore it". He told my employer to IGNORE IT, placing them an in illegal position. They chose not to IGNORE it. I have been living off $168.70 a week since August 7. Today is December 26 and I have not heard one thing from TAX INCORPORATED since that day. I emailed and demanded a complete account of what they had done on my case and that was blatently ignored.

On December 19, I had a certified letter from the IRS. They had placed ANOTHER LIEN AGAINST ME!!! I was infuriatad, so I called them. I was told by the IRS agent (I have his name & badge number) that NO ONE FROM TAX INC. HAD EVER MADE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM WHATSOEVER ON MY CASE!!! Ever!!! ALMOST 10 MONTHS TIME AND $4,200.00 LATER???

Vahan Hart admitted to me that they hadn't even contacted the State, but assured me that the IRS was being "negotiated with". HA! MY FOOT.

Bottom line, I sent a Certifed Letter to Tax, Incorporated, firing them. I demanded my money back within 10 days time and IF I DON'T GET IT, I am prepared to FIGHT in ANYWAY that I can.

If you have also had a similiar experience with this company and wish to join/start a class action suit for damages, please respond to this post. I hope no one else experiences what i have!!!
