This firm purports to represent taxpayers in arrears in taxes with the IRS to negotiate best settlement, including as their TV ads say, mitigating interest, penalties, any liens or garnishments, and getting best offer for settlement.
In fact the only thing this firm does is generate repetitive paperwork requesting the same forms be filled out over and over, month after month. I have saved all items from them that I have received. I have repeatedly called them and spoken to Atty. Sean Chi and his paralegal, Jeannie.
I asked Jeannie point blank in August when my settlement for "Currently Non-Collectable Status" would be filed as this had been dragging on since the retainer of $525 I paid to them in May. She said she understood my concern and would get an official answer for me and get back to me. Last I ever heard from them by phone. They had no trouble charging $2800 for this kind of help!
Sure, they really helped a couple in their 60s with no resources, home, bank account, or any assets under 5 years old (one car, Hyundai 2004) unload their wallets to pay them from their food budget. We have no stocks, jewelry or anything else of worth and live on a fixed income. These people are ghouls, preying on the gullible people in desperate need.
The IRS was horrible when we tried to deal directly with them, or we would never have contacted these blood sucking vampires! I hope President Obama means what he says, and starts the government doing more to protect Americans from all these home-grown scams. To think that people are doing this that spent years of education to get to be attorneys sickens me. Most Americans can't even get that kind of education, let alone waste it to torture their less fortunate Americans. Guantanamo inmates are treated better than we are, and get health care which we wouldn't have except for a free clinic in our area.
On December 15, they sent me an offi8cial request for the same repetitive income reports from my husband and myself that they had been receiving for almost 2 years, and a signed power of attorney form, stating that it must be overnighted for $16.50 by December 22. I complied only to find 2 days later that they had sent a letter on December 16th stating that they had withdrawn as my attorney and had informed the IRS. These people are as serious to us poor folk as Bernie Madoff is to the wealthy! We must stop them now!!! Where is the Attorney General who looks at Deceptive and Fraudulent Trade Practices and misses a wide open corrupt vessel of filth like these folks?
