Mr. Swate advertises that he represents you before the IRS to help you with unpaid taxes. We contracted with him over 2 years ago and paid $1800 for his "services".
Over the course of this time, he has not kept us up to date with what has been happening. As a matter of fact, he claimed to not be receiving the many notices from the IRS that we received. We have had to mail, fax and overnight this paperwork to him at our added expense. According to the IRS, they sent him copies of everything as our Power of Attorney.
At this time, we have a Federal tax lien against our home and my husband's Social Security Disability check has been levied for 15%. We did file for a hearing which has put the levy on hold until July, along with the orders to attach our bank account and garnishee my pay check.
Since Mr. Swate has not provided us with any assistance or guidance, we are ill prepared for the hearing. Mr. Swate finally did return our phone calls after the SSDI check was levied after 3 days and yelled at my husband telling him not to leave him any messages or he would not help us any more.
My husband told him he was fired and we had sent a letter to advise him of this and request a refund. He said he would not refund our money. My husband told him he was also filing a grievance with the Texas State Bar. His response was "who do you think they will listen to, me or a low life like you?"
If you read his contract carefully, you will see where it states "all fees earned as paid" which means if you are stupid enough to pay without receiving service, too bad. It also states you are only contracting with him for representation before the IRS. Trust me, he will make you so mad you will fire him also and he will have "earned" the fee without doing a thing.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Client would not pay.
AUTHOR: Brandon - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 01, 2005
The client in this case would not pay his bills ours our anyone elses for that matter, you have to keep in mind this person decided not to pay his taxes. When we signed the client up, there was a down payment and monthly payment they where supposed to send, we sent the copy of the contract and payment report to the BBB and after reviewing the documents the BBB decided we did nothing wrong.
We have had many clients over the last 20 years, when you run a business you are always going to run into someone who wants something for free or gets angry when they cant hold up there end of the agreement.
We spoke to these people for hours on the phone over many months, as far as them forwarding paperwork, we ask all our clients to do this just in case the IRS makes a mistake and doesnt mail us the same items they mail the client. This was explained when we signed them up as clients, we also explained that payments would need to be made ont he 15th of every month, and they didnt.
If your not going to pay taxes, and not going to pay any of your bills, then who is going to want to deal with you.
This client also liked to scream and use foul language over the phone, when told he would have to keep his taxes up to date and file all unfiled returns..
It looks like we are going to have to take action in Texas Courts.
