I had the unfortunate privilege of hiring these thugs to help me negotiate a settlement of on some taxes that I owed for 2009. John Hazlet (head thug) told me that my fee for their services would be $, 2000.00.
I paid their fee in May and June ($1, 000) increments.
John Hazlet assured me that he could get me a settlement in 60 t0 90 days. He set up a payment plan with the State of Colorado, which I could have done myself. At the 90 day mark, one of his cohorts called and said that in order to go forward, they would need an additional $2, 000. I asked him then for a breakdown of costs that took $2000 to call the State and have the payment plan set up. I never got that. I told them that I really didn't have and extra $2, 000 to pay them. I reminded them that the contract stated $2, 000 total. They dug in their heels and would not move until I paid them the extra $2000. I had to borrow it from my brother. In November I received a payment plan from the IRS that amounted to $1074 per month for 5 years. That is a total of $64, 400 on and $18, 000 tax debt. That payment to the IRS was $900 penalty and interest. The other $84 was the principal against what I owed. I was livid.
I called and asked him where is the "offer in compromise" or the "CANNOT COLLECT" that he promised me. He said to me "just because little Becky is old and has no money doesn't mean she gets away without paying". That very day I cancelled my contract with them and hired a reputable company to take care of my case. These people are CROOKS. They should be shut down. They are all committing fraud.
