I went to Patten & Associates,and had a lady by the name of Debbie who filed my taxes as I didn't want to make any mistakes and mess something up. Wrong idea! I live with my Fiance for about 3 years now and her 2 sons. My Fiance doesn't work and Debbie said it was ok for me to claim them as the father of the boys. Which I did not know at the time and found out that I dont have legal right to claim them on my taxes. So I let her do it, and now I have HSBC calling on average of 3 times a day, 7 days a week because I did rapid refund and the IRS denied the claim.

I now owe over $2,800 to HSBC and $3400 to IRS. I was laid off in March and have been only working 2 weeks at my new job making almost 3 dollars less an hour and driving 30 miles round trip, which is about 28 more miles than my old job. I have 3 kids of my own that I have joint custody of and pay child support for. There is no way I am going to be able to pay all this money back. I am screwed because she failed to follow the tax laws. If I had the money to hire a lawyer, I WOULD! I do not know this Barefoot floors but I sure wish I did before I went to Patten & Associates!!!! It seems they really got Ripped Off by these people. Tax Service Businesses should not be allowed to get away with this kind of suff it can really be detrimental to someones credit and life. I have done some research on this Patten & Associates--- and found they have a list of complaints by The Better Business Bureau http://welcome.bbb.org/ . I

It is very interesting reading all these postings about these companies. I too feel the need to report a RIP-OFF about the Pattons!

I have been a member of a local church in Woodbridge VA for about 1 year. There I have met many lovely people but I guess in every Beautiful tree you always have a Rotten apple. Well I can honestly say I have met that rotten apple when I was introduced to the Pattons. I was having a general conversation one day with a few local members when a very short chubby lady approached me and over heard me saying I was having some tax issues. I openly asked her if she would be able to help and she told me she actually was a "tax accountant" and that she had a business located near by. After speaking with her I had this eerie feeling that came over me, and then her son came up, he to was this very short man and proclaimed that his mothers business was very good at fixing peoples taxes. Persuaded by what these little people had to say I gave them a try.

Since I have allowed this company to work on my taxes I have fell more into more tax debt than ever before. I also have IRS auditing me, I dont know what kind of service they provide but we call that A QUICK FIX". They can get your taxes right for a short while but you better pray IRS does not investigate because this little lady sure does some very big illegal stuff.

I wish I would have initially listened to my gut feeling when these people came to me in church. And its too bad I did not have the opportunity to read RIP-OFF before I proceeded. I let all the people in the area know about what happen to me and I have received farther insight about the family that operates this company. LET ME TELL YOU THAT ITS ENOUGH DRAMA, DRUG ABUSE, ADULTRY, LIES, AND EVIL-NESS TO MAKE THE POPE HIMSELF WANT TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON DC. Lol, I dont mean to be so up forward but it seems someone has to put a stop to these kind of people destroying others. Its a shame some people use God as cover to take advantage of good people.

** Just a few simple words for Patten & Associates, Inc. ....GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY!!!!
