Lee B Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 IRS Picks Private Debt Collection Contractors The Internal Revenue Service has chosen four private debt collection agencies to help collect unpaid tax debts as the IRS gears up to resurrect the controversial program. The four agencies are CBE Group of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Conserve of Fairport, N.Y., Performant of Livermore, Calif., and Pioneer of Horseheads, N.Y. The IRS is required to revive the private debt collection program this year because of a provision in a highway funding bill that Congress passed last December. The program is expected to start up again next spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 They've tried this twice(?) before and stopped both times because it cost more than it earned and made the public hate the IRS even more. Aggressive commission based collectors who actually phone taxpayers will be confused with the phone scams that are happening. I don't see how this can't be an even bigger disaster than the last time it was tried. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
