ANNOYING AND FRIGHTENING CALLS FROM ‘THE CBE GROUP’
October 30, 2007
ACCORDING TO USA TODAY (See:http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/taxes/2007-05-23-irs-scrutiny_N.htm):
At a recent Congressional hearing:
Two IRS contracting firms, down from the three initially selected, have been making collection calls to thousands of taxpayers who owe less than $25,000 in taxes and have not disputed the debt. The firms, which keep up to 24% of what they recover, have collected nearly $20 million so far, IRS data show.
Highlighting the hearing testimony and exhibits was the recorded voice of an anonymous and clearly exasperated taxpayer who repeatedly rebuffed a private collector’s efforts to verify his Social Security number.
“I have been getting harassing phone calls from your company by people who refuse to leave their last names,” the man said to an employee of The CBE Group, one of the IRS contractors. “It is incredibly annoying and frightening.”
Have you been the subject of ‘annoying’ and ‘frightening’ calls from the CBE Group? Simple solution: HIRE A VERY GOOD ATTORNEY (PREFERABLY FROM A TOP 20 LAW SCHOOL) and SUE THE PANTS OFF THIS DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY. Also, write your congressman and FIGHT LIKE A JUNK-YARD DOG AGAINST THEM.
