The Internal Revenue has decided to use a private collection of certain overdue federal tax debts and has selected four contractors to implement the new program.
The new program, authorized under a federal law enacted by Congress enables these designated contractors to collect, on the government’s behalf, outstanding inactive tax receivables. As a condition of receiving a contract, these agencies must respect taxpayer rights including, among other things, abiding by the consumer protection provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The IRS has selected the following contractors to carry out this program:
- CBE Group
- 1309 Technology Pkwy
- Cedar Falls, IA 50613
- Conserve
- 200 CrossKeys Office park
- Fairport, NY 14450
- Performant
- 333 N Canyons Pkwy
- Livermore, CA 94551
- Pioneer
- 325 Daniel Zenker Dr
- Horseheads, NY 14845
These private collection agencies will work on accounts where taxpayers owe money, but the IRS is no longer actively working on their accounts. Several factors contribute to the IRS assigning these accounts to private collection agencies, including older, overdue tax accounts or lack of resources preventing the IRS from working the cases.
The IRS is required to give each taxpayer and their representative written notice that their account is being transferred to a private collection agency. The agency will then send a second, separate letter to the taxpayer and their representative confirming this transfer.
