I took the next several days to think this situation through. It appeared
that I had just lost the most important contact I had as far as fighting back
against the IRS. It was like Senator Roth was saying that he helped me get this
far with the extortionist IRS, but from this point on I would have to find
someone else to help me collect. As unpleasant as I found being in this
situation again, I decided that I had fought too hard and too long to let the
IRS give me a token payment for the hell they had put me through and walk away.
So here we go again. On 03-08-99 at 10:58, I called Senator DeWine’s Toledo
office and spoke with Terry. I explained as briefly as possible what had taken
place with the IRS and told him that I needed some assistance from Senator
DeWine’s office. Terry said that he would call me back with an 800 phone number
that I should contact
.
At 12:40 Terry called back and left a message at work for me to call
1-800-205-6446 and ask for Lisa Haley.
At 12:45 I called the 800 number and talked to Lisa. She said that I was
assigned to Ellen Kinker and that I should write a letter explaining my
situation to her.
That evening I started working on the letter to Ellen.
March 8, 1999
Senator Mike DeWine
Attn: Ellen Kinker
37 West Broad Street, room 970
Columbus, Ohio 43215
Dear Ellen,
Enclosed in this fax you will find the Authorization and Disclosure form
filled out and signed. You will also find a copy of a fax from the IRS
canceling my payment plan and a letter from the Problems Resolution Caseworker,
Barbara Woods, regarding the amounts to be refunded.
I have also enclosed a copy of a letter that I sent to Senator William V.
Roth, Jr. describing my problem with the IRS and my situation with Barbara
Woods.
Ellen, I am not asking the IRS to voluntarily pay me for my losses, I will
settle that in court later. What I am expecting is that the IRS pay me for the
money they either took, forced me to pay or purposely, through their abusive
collection practices, caused me not to receive.
I have not received an answer from my letter to Senator Roth and the only
reason I sent the second letter to him was he was the person I was directed to
send the first letter to.
After making several calls I was told that at this point I should contact
Senator Mike DeWine’s office and provide the information to you.
In closing, by no means or by any stretch of the imagination do I feel that
I am asking the IRS to overcompensate me, hell I’m not even asking them to
fairly compensate me, I’m just expecting that they refund the money they took
or purposely made sure that I didn’t collect and to receive this refund in a
reasonable amount of time.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can give me in making sure
this matter is reasonably settled.
Sincerely
Donald E. Iiams, Jr.
On 03-12-99 I faxed the letter to Ellen Kinker.
At 10:37, I called Ellen Kinker’s office to make sure that they had received
the fax. They said that they received it and to call Ellen back on Monday.
Then on 03-15-99 11:40, I called Ellen Kinker’s office as instructed. Ellen
said that she would contact the Problem Resoulation Office and get back to me.
On 03-16-99 at 4:11, Doug Cline called me at work. Doug told me that he was
an IRS Cincinnati supervisor, I.D. number 3103180. He preceded to tell me that
he had received a copy of my letter to Senator Roth’s office and that he had
some questions because my case had been turned over to him and that he was
supposed to get the issue resolved with me.
Doug told me that they had located around $18,000 in payments that I had
made and that they were going to deduct $ 9500.00 that the IRS said I owed
them. I then asked Doug what the $9500.00 was for. He told me that the IRS said
that I owed $2000.00 from 1995 and another $2000.00 form 1996 and that with
interest and penalties it was now $9500.00. I disputed that amount and then
asked him if the IRS was going to pay the money they stole from me at the same
interest rate they were charging me and he said yes that they were. His exact
words were that the interest would be within one percent of the rate the IRS
charged me which he agreed was over 100 per cent per year. He
said that he did not know why I was charged such a high rate of interest but
that would be the rate they were going to pay me. Doug then told me that I
would be very happy when I received the first group of refund checks.
