Debt Relief International LLC is not relief, it's just a HUGH headache and TROUBLE. Doral, Florida

Well, they started taking the payments out of my account in November 2005 after I signed a POA for my credit card company.  After a few months of them taking out my payments, I get a letter saying that I was being sold over to Debt Relief International because Courtney Grant had moved there.  I was fine with that because that meant that the same person was working on it.  I was so excited about it, that I refered my mom to give them a call and go through them.  She talked to "Courtney" and got signed up for it.  She owed more then me, because of her debt.  Well, I called them a couple of times through the 24 months to see about the progress.  They told me that when the 24 months were paid in full, then they would settle with my credit card company.  

So here I sit waiting for the end of the 24 months and then on the 25th month, another payment comes out of my account so I went to the bank and had it stopped and my bank refunded my money and stopped all future payments from coming through.  I then called Debt Relief International and they said that they were starting to contact my credit card company to try to settle.  I gave it a couple of months then started to try to buy my first house (what I nightmare).  Well needless to say, the credit report was never updated.  I called Debt Relief International and they said that they were still working on the credit card company because the credit card company kept counter offering.  I was also told my Debt Relief International not to contact my credit card company because it would mess up all offers if I said something that would hurt my chances of settling. So of course, I never contacted the credit card company like a idiot. 

Well, I get a letter in the mail yesterday from the IRS saying that my credit card company wrote off my debt under the new government plan back in November 2008 and I was suppose to put it on my 2008 taxes.  Well, I had no clue.  I called the IRS right away and they told me that I needed to contact the credit card company and see what they could do to help me out.  I asked the customer service person if they see anything about Debt Relief International on my account for contact or settlement agreements.  My credit card company informed me that they never heard from Debt Relief nor have they ever seen my POA that I signed for Debt Relief International to mail to them.  There was nothing that they could do for me because of it.  I'm left paying the IRS for back taxes.  Debt Relief International took my for $3600 and my mom for $17,000 before she stopped all payments to them.  I would love it if we had enough people who were scammed by Debt Relief International to file a hugh lawsuit against them.
