David Smart (IF that was his real name) had a company called Tax Relief Specialists, LLC. He promised to help people with their IRS debt and problems. Then all of a sudden, his phone was turned off. Then it was on again. But by 9 AM the voice mail woudl be full. Many letters were sent to their address at P.O. Box 11817, Alexandria, La 71418.
None were replied to NOR was any calls made. I personally drove to thier office and no one had been there for MONTHS. I do not know where the calls are routed to but someone either just deletes them without listening or just does not reply.
THere are MANY who he has left in dire straits because of his apathy. I talked to a tennant next to their old office and he said I was not the first to come there looking for them. He has gained lots of money from trusting people and then just vanished. He did have a wife named Noreen, but that is all I know. I know that no one in the Alexandria area will own up to being related to him so I would almost think that he is from some other area. I know that I have called and left many messages as others have also. He has stolen money from people, and left them high and dry.
I do not know if he was still getting payments from people in his mailbox or not. If so , would that not constitute federal fraudd? I wonder how many people are being left in some serious trouble with Uncle Sam now that they do not have him "in their corner"??
What he has done is wrong. I wonder how he can sleep at night?
I do know it is a crime to take money from people (1800 dollars and up each case) and skip out on them. He even has an ad in the New Yellow Pages in the Monroe, Louisiana phone book. It goes to the same voice mail. David, how can to live with yourself? This was so wrong to do to all of us who trusted you to help us. RIP OFF!

#2 General Comment
There's more too and OIC then just filling out an app
AUTHOR: ken - (United States of America)

Telling someone to call the IRS, get the OIC packet (which you can do online at irs.gov for FREE btw) is horrible advice. One can do it themselves. However, there is so much more that goes into an OIC then just filling out paperwork. You need to qualify via a formula of ASSETS/INCOME/EXPENSES, then you have to use limits on what you can use for these assets, income, and expenses.....and the IRS also has national standards for certain items. You have to know how to deal with the Offer Examiner, a counteroffer, rejection of the OIC, appeal rights, the appeal process, payment terms, etc.
BTW, what David did was absolutely wrong and I am in no way defending him......I knew him many years ago and I knew him to be a decent guy. I believe he may have gotten over his head on how to deal with being a true representative.
My point is to rebutt the ridiculous advice that just filling out OIC forms to save representation fees is not always the best route. It is a route and some have successfully taken it, but in my 15 years of representation experience, it is rare and far and few in between.

TAX RELIEF ..file a OIC which is a offer in compromise which you can do yourself

The "tax relief" specialist all they do is file a OIC which is a offer in compromise which you can do yourself. Call the IRS and ask for the packet and read it thoroughly as a previous IRS employee trust me those places advertising relief for you on balance dues to the IRS are scam artists you can fill out the paper work your self for $150 and it's a easy packet to fill out.
