Consumer Narrative
I filed a complaint because this company is a fraud. This has tried to collect debt for 12 years from me without consulting with their client. This debt they are referring to is from the Illinois department of revenue. Sir, please always consult with your client. Despite a collection for state taxes " the Illinois department of revenue '' will still take your state taxes if you are in collection. They don't care. I work as well so i called the Illinois department of revenue to acquire your collection debt and opened an account to pay my taxes. Unfortunately, i have filed enough taxes that i paid the debt that your company is acquiring by the Illinois department of revenue taking my state taxes. In this case " consult with your client. '' This debt is paid and isnt in collection. Anyways, on contrary, you can also contact your client to get a cheaper settlement. Contact your client to assure that the bill isnt paid or you seem like a scammer. This bill is paid then why are you trying to collect it twice when the Illinois department of revenue took my taxes?
