Why does Clear Creek Tax Consulting keep calling me about a tax lien?

Clear Creek Tax / CCT called about an IRS Tax Lien Filing.  Can they help?  What do they want?

This post is a review of Clear Creek Tax, aka CCT or Clear Creek Consulting (both locations:  Louisville, CO & Greenville, SC) who calls you if the state or IRS files a tax lien against you or your business, if you owe back taxes.  Clear Creek Tax does not meet irs back tax help hiring criteria.  If you have questions about this post, please reference:  BP48.

• If you know you need to take action, read my article “IF” you should hire IRS back tax help.  (You should not automatically.) Titled “Owe IRS back taxes? When, who, and how do I hire IRS back tax help?” before you do anything else.

As usual, If you like the tone of this writing, I would like to refer you to someone who meets irs back tax help criteria.  Please contact irs back tax help.  Before you email me, please click on and read “About irs back tax help.”

Clear Creek Tax Marketing Approach for an IRS Tax Problem:

There are a lot of good tax resolution companies out there.  These two links will help you tell who’s who:

• What should happen when I talk to any tax resolution company?
• What should not happen when I talk to any tax resolution company?

You should not hire IRS past due tax help unless you think there is a good reason.  The real first question, after a tax lien is filed, is not whom to hire, but “IF” you should hire anyone to help if you owe back taxes to the IRS.

Let’s inject some common sense into the tax problem if you are looking for IRS help.  Read the link above, it will help you decide “IF” you actually need to hire IRS back tax help.  Have an IRS emergency caused by an IRS bank levy or seizure?  Take the time to read both of these links.  They are focused on your best interests, not a tax resolution company’s.  

• CCT wants you to hire them if you owe back taxes to the IRS.  However, do not hire the first tax resolution company you call or calls you about your IRS tax problem.  Make them compete for you business with at least one other company who meets the hiring criteria for irs back tax help.
• When an IRS tax lien (IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien, IRS Form 668(y)) is filed with the county recorder, it becomes public record.  Then Clear Creek Tax may collect this information and contact businesses and individuals with IRS tax lien filings, or they may not.

Instead, take control of this IRS tax problem on your terms.  Here’s how: (3 steps, 10 minutes)

• STEP 1:  Before you have a discussion with Clear Creek Tax, read Google & BBB reviews & complaints. 
• STEP 2:  When you are ready, call Clear Creek Tax if you are OK with their reviews & complaints and get the name of the person who will represent you and check them out. 
• STEP 3:  Re-Contact Clear Creek Tax if you are satisfied with Steps 1 & 2.  Then get a Second Opinion on How to handle your IRS Tax Debt.  (That’s a hint!)
• All the steps for the CCT Review are completed below.

It is valid to be concerned about the IRS’ actions, and to take action yourself, but a knee jerk reaction could cause greater IRS problems down the road.  When the IRS goes into enforced collection mode, it’s worth taking a measured approach to fix the tax problem.

Clear Creek Tax’s Better Business Bureau reviews looks like this:

Clear Creek Tax, Louisville, CO, Business started 2003

• Not accredited 
• 90 Complaints as of 11/25/2013, up from 55 Complaints as of 5/27/2012.

• Clear Creek Tax Resolution BBB Review, Louisville, CO

Clear Creek Tax, Greenville, SC Business started locally 2009

• Not Accredited
• 2 Complaints as of 3/19/2012

• Clear Creek Tax Resolution BBB Review, Greenville, SC

When using the BBB to research a tax relief firm, it is probably best to use the BBB as a “de-selector” rather than a reason to hire a tax relief company.  The BBB solicits companies to become a member, so it is relatively easy to remain in good standing and keep an “A” letter grade.  The nature of the company is better seen by how many complaints they have accumulated over the last 3 years; which is the standard BBB reporting period.  A good rule of thumb is no more than one complaint per year, or three complaints total in regard to “Products/Services”.  Size and age of a tax resolution company are irrelevant.  It really boils down to how they treated their clients during the reporting period. 

• Clear Creek Tax should have less than three complaints total.  There are plenty of tax resolution companies who meet this standard, so don’t settle for less.  If you’re having trouble finding a tax resolution company with 3 complaints or less, I’m happy to help.  I can be reached at irsbacktaxhelp@gmail.com.

• Clear Creek Tax Reviews Louisville CO
• Clear Creek Tax Complaints Louisville CO 
• Clear Creek Tax Reviews Greenville SC
• Clear Creek Tax Complaints Greenville SC

STEP 2:  If you are happy with Step 1:  Reviews & Complaints call Clear Creek Tax

In the first call, tell Clear Creek Tax you want some general information about the company and the name of the person who will be representing you before you talk to them and then you will return their call.   

• Once you have the name of the person who will represent you, visit the Colorado Supreme Court Attorney Search  or the South Carolina Bar Attorney Search and make sure the attorney is in good standing.

STEP 3:  Re-Contact Clear Creek Tax if you are satisfied with Steps 1 & 2.  Then get a Second Opinion on How to handle your IRS Tax Debt.  (That’s a hint!)

Knowledge is power, so the second opinion is important.  Overall, if you are thinking of hiring them, listen to them and then see what the second opinion says about your tax problems. Of course, we would like to refer that second opinion, but as long as you take the time to do a little homework as listed in the first link above, you’ll probably be fine.  Click “About irs back tax help” to learn about us or read irs back tax helpTestimonials to see how we treat people.

If you would like irs back tax help to help with your first or second opinion, I can be reached at irsbacktaxhelp@gmail.com.  I do not pressure people in an already stressful situation.
