 It's no secret that millions of taxpayers struggle to pay their taxes. The IRS is unyielding when it comes to collecting money, they think is theirs, so if you're facing back taxes owed the federal government highly advises seeking assistance as soon as possible before they resort to aggressive measures like taking money out of your bank accounts and seizing wages or property.The IRS offers several different payment plans to help taxpayers pay off their tax debt. These plans include: Guaranteed Installment Agreement: This plan is available to taxpayers who owe $10,000 or less in taxes. The taxpayer must agree to pay the debt in full within three years and must have filed all required tax returns. No financials are required. Streamlined Installment Agreement: This plan is available to t...

Biden appoints new Director to CFPB - Rohit ChopraSo - how does this affect use . . .Chopra was formerly the student loan Ombudsman, so he has extensive experience with student loans. In November, he issued a statement advocating for more co-operation between the CFPB and the FTC citing that join efforts would reduce duplicative efforts and thereby lead to efficiencies which would translate to bigger recoveries for consumers. Additionally "we must stop ignoring Congress and recalibrate priorities and strategies in the financial services arena.

For an introvert I do a surprisingly large amount of public speaking. Here in Hartford County, CT I speak regularly to local organizations and I hate being redundant so, I’ll typically talk about a recent case. One common topic is a client getting an unexpected bill from the IRS demanding thousands and how I worked with the IRS to reduce or eliminate the amount allegedly owed by my client. What is this magic wand that I get to wave? I don’t, sadly, magic wands don’t exist. The specific letter related to these cases is a CP2000. Every case and every letter is different. Some cases were resolved quickly and easily, others took stacks of paperwork and the better part of a year going back and forth with the IRS to resolve the problem. While working with clients locally in Connecticut and Ma...

  There are a lot of credit repair companies out there. Each one claims it can fix your credit and win you the ability to make big purchases. But what exactly are these companies doing?

A bad one can actually hurt you. To make an informed decision, it’s important to understand what’s going on. It all begins with FICO.
