Many tax relief businesses are sales organizations
Many tax relief businesses are led by salesmen that are fully aware and understand the very stressful situation taxpayers are in when the IRS pursues collections enforcement activity against them. These businesses capitalize on the taxpayer’s desire to find a solution to a very stressful situation. They take advantage of taxpayer’s vulnerability by making false and unrealistic promises about IRS settlements, penalties and interest in an effort to get as much money from you as possible. Read on to understand how they further exploit your vulnerability in effort to maximize their gain – not yours.
Why do tax relief businesses try to access your IRS records before representation?
Some tax relief businesses offer to retrieve your IRS records for a nominal fee or for no cost. They claim it is necessary so that they can provide you an analysis prior to you hiring them. In reality, a common purpose in doing this is to build a relationship with you and to access your financial and income information. Having access to your financial information provides them an opportunity in many cases to increase their fee for services.
At Lionsgate Tax Defenders, we understand that there is very little correlation between the dollar amount of your tax liability and the amount of effort it takes to find you a resolution. As such, we charge a fixed monthly fee based on the services you need. Follow this link to read more about our services.
Why do tax relief businesses collect large fees up front with money-back guarantees?
Many tax relief businesses attempt to collect large upfront fees before performing tax relief services and many offer a money back guarantees within a specific time frame. In reality, by the time the unrealistic promise of resolving your matter is realized, the time frame for your money back guarantee has expired. They recognize many of their clients will eventually become dissatisfied and will stop paying for tax resolution services. This type business model, a bate-and-switch tactic, requires them to collect fees up front in order to maximize their profit. Don’t fall victim to this tactic.
At Lionsgate, we don’t charge upfront fees. We charge a monthly flat fee based on the services you need. To learn more about our services click here: Our Services.
Why can’t many tax relief businesses afford to fix your IRS problem?
Many tax relief businesses cannot afford to fix your IRS problem. The large national organizations spend too much of their resources on advertising and thus leave little left over for the hiring of capable professionals who really can solve an IRS problem. To overcome this problem, many firms take advantage of taxpayers vulnerabilities and desire to solve their tax issues by feeding customers with unrealistic expectations, upfront fees, and money back guarantees. Don’t fall for these unscrupulous tactics.

Why are many tax relief businesses not very old?
Many tax relief businesses have not been around very long. Many of these businesses are headed by salesmen willing to make false promises about unrealistic results, causing them to be sued and have many negative reviews online when they inevitably fail to deliver on their unrealistic promises. Over time, their brand is so damaged they shut down and reinvent themselves under a new brand name and then boast that they presently have no negative reviews.
