Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP Debt Collection Complaint

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP Debt collection department,

Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) Communication tactics Threatened to take legal action New Jersey

Debt collector claiming to be from an attorney 's office, repeatedly tried to get me to pay a tax debt that I explained over and over was a mistake. He acted like he was going to help me fix the mistake, but did nothing. He lied about submitting my paperwork to the PA state tax department for review ( I submitted paperwork after - and by - he called and said PA Department of Revenue had reviewed - no government agency works that fast! ). He also told me that some items we listed on tax returns were not valid write offs, ie. contract labor on a general contractor 's tax return. When I questioned him about this, he acted like he did not just say it. He called me a liar when I told him a letter sent from the state was not received, and then, even when he stated that the letter was returned as non-deliverable, he still implied I was lying to him. He was very condescending, forceful and deceptive and made me very - about his phone calls. He was trying to get me to pay $46000.00. Since I did n't trust that his collection attempts were valid, we checked with the state to make sure he was not a scam artist. We actually owe $100.00 which we will be paying directly to PA Department of Revenue Pass Through Business office.
