I had Tax prolems and found the Us Tax Relief Angency (Richard L. Hargus) and Micheal Gill on the internet. I was told to pay $2,200.00 they would handle my case for me. I sent Richard Hargus my money, he lead me to believe he was going to get a settlement from the IRS for 3 yrs. I am still receiving letters from the IRS they also placed a lein on me. I can no longer reach Richard Hargus or Micheal Gill . Their phone numbers or no longer valid, I have did not receive anything for my 2,200.00

As you may or may not be aware, USTRA has filed bankruptcy.
Your contract is with Mr. Mike Gill and the United States Tax Relief Agency. I have no contract with you, nor have I received any of your money. Your money was paid to Mr. Michael Gill and/or United States Tax Relief Agency-not Richard Hargus. Mr. Gill has not paid me to do any additional work on any USTRA cases. In order to obtain a refund, you will need to contact them or file a claim against their assets in the bankruptcy.
I discovered their bankruptcy when I called their office and heard a recording. They have now shut down their offices, their phones, and the USTRA client computer system from which I worked on cases. Therefore, I have no access to client information that was on the Goldmine system.
I have not been able to contact USTRA or Mr. Gill. He closed his doors owing me a good sum of money as well.

To the victim and the ex-employee:
If you paid money to this company/person for services that were never rendered, or if you are owed money as an employee or independent contractor, you are a creditor of the company/person. As a creditor, the Bankruptcy Code requires that you be listed as such, notified of the bankruptcy proceeding, and instructed as to how to file a claim against the bankruptcy estate (assuming that there are assets available for distribution).
Your rights to recoupment are different depending on the Chapter (7, 11, 13). I'm assuming that this is a Chapter 7 since the individual also filed bankruptcy (most business entities can't file Chapter 13, and individuals can't file Chapter 11). If such is the case, you are entitled to one of two things:
1) A pro-rata share of any non-exempt assets left over after "priority" creditors are paid off. Unfortunately, in most Chapter 7s, this means you get nothing.
2) A claim that your debt is not dischargeable as it was procured by fraud. If this company/person was insolvent (meaning generally that their debts exceeded their assets) when they took on your case, you could have a good case for a constrctively fraudulent transfer. The same goes for the ex-employee.
I would advise consulting with a bankruptcy attorney, preferably one that primarily represents creditors. An easy way to find one of these is to find a listing of local Chapter 7 trustees, go to their websites, and see if their bios state that they represent creditors (they usually do).
Best of luck!
