We hired Associated Tax Relief to help with my husband's tax debt. He had an IRS lien that was (and still is) preventing us from purchasing a home. We sent over my husband's information and spoke to Ron Allen. He said that based on my husband's information, he could get us an $8,000 reduction in what my husband owed and that getting the lien off would be no problem. All we had to do was pay them $3,900. We thought that since the amount they would save us was double what we were going to pay them, it sounded like a great deal.

It's been 2 years since we gave them $3,900 and we are no better off than we were 2 years ago. Within the first month or so, they made payment arrangements on our behalf with the IRS. I was very skeptical about this since I had assumed the $8,000 they were saving us was due to the statute of limitations. Whether it was or wasn't certainly doesn't matter now. We have been making the payments religiously for 2 years and we still have the lien. We could have made payment arrangements with the IRS on our own and used the $3,900 towards his debt and we would be much better off today.

As far as service, they will not reply by e-mail or by phone. It has been since February 2nd, at which point I had told them my husband was no longer working and asked what they were going to do next to help. I followed up several times and still haven't heard a word.

We are considering filing a small claims case against them. Even if we don't win, they would be inconvenienced by having to come to court. We are going to be contacting the Better Business Bureau and the State Bar Association as well. I am also posting negative feedback on every website that I can.

PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE SCHMUCKS!!!!
