If the firm you hired hasn’t moved your case, you can disengage cleanly, protect yourself with the IRS, and switch to a team that actually executes—today.
Your fast switch plan (CuraDebt does the heavy lifting)
- End the engagement & get your file. Email your current firm to terminate and request everything they touched (returns, Form 433s, transcripts, IRS call notes).
- Replace their authority with ours. We’ll prepare a new Form 2848/8821 so CuraDebt speaks to the IRS immediately and the prior firm can’t touch your case.
- Stabilize collections right away. Our enrolled agent can request a temporary collection hold (often ~14–30 days) while we submit a qualifying Installment Agreement, Offer in Compromise, hardship (CNC), or a timely CDP request if your notice is LT11/1058.
- Run the CuraDebt process. We move you through Investigation → Compliance → Resolution and credit part of the investigation toward the resolution work so incentives stay aligned. (CuraDebt)
Why CuraDebt (use the “11 Musts” checklist to vet any provider)
- Does an investigation before quoting fees — no over-the-phone “pre-qualify you for OIC in minutes” guesses.
- Does a thorough investigation — not a quick/cheap intake that leads to surprises later.
- Includes 11 components in that investigation — totals by year, reasons for assessment, penalties/interest, CSED dates, missing/SFR returns, collection status, RO status, full financials, compliance steps, resolution options with timelines, and eligibility for relief (penalty abatement, innocent spouse, OIC).
- Has “best-possible-resolution” internal policies — trained staff + checklists that work your financials to qualify you for the strongest outcome.
- Is solid—but not the biggest or tiniest — right-sized team, scalable EAs/attorneys, and 2-phase QA so you’re not “just a number.”
- Provides a written guarantee — stands behind the resolution proposed in the investigation.
- Has 23+ years in business — staying power matters in a space where many firms come and go.
- Is top-rated by Top Consumer Reviews — ideally #1 for tax debt relief.
- Has 1,500+ five-star reviews with few complaints — look at both praise and complaint rate.
- Licensed and bonded in various states — signals seriousness about consumer protection.
- CuraDebt’s article spells out each of these “musts” and then shows how the company meets them in practice; you can point prospects to the checklist and walk them through how your process satisfies every item. (CuraDebt)
2025 reality check: enforcement actions & why switching promptly matters
- FTC + Nevada vs. “American Tax Service” — In October 2025, a federal court entered an ex parte TRO with asset freeze and a temporary receiver against alleged tax-debt-relief scammers for government impersonation and false promises, halting operations pending further order. (Federal Trade Commission)
- Minnesota AG vs. Wall & Associates — In April 2025, a court ordered $4M+ in relief and penalties, with a permanent injunction against deceptive practices affecting Minnesotans. (Minnesota Attorney General’s Office)
Takeaway: if your provider is underperforming—or worse, under investigation—move your file now so your rights and deadlines are preserved.
