Received original letter from this company regarding unpaid school tax (#***) (account #***) amount $36. Used the companies supplied online payment (statewidetaxrecovery.com) to pay on 3/21/20 (conf #***). Funds were drawn from personal account. Received 2nd letter stating was not paid. Mailed a reply letter 5/2/20 stating it was referring conf#/date paid. Received 3rd letter stating payment was not paid.
This is crazy ineptitude. Please assist with resolution.

Good morning! I had my team look into this complaint. In regards to ***'s claim we did receive his payment for the *** tax, but *** School District is also a client of ours and this tax remains unpaid. *** and *** School District bill their taxes separately so the notice that *** continues to receive is for an unpaid *** School District tax. My team will be reaching out to *** directly to ensure there is clarity on this matter and to obtain payment for this tax.

Thanks // Matt

This company is double dipping. I found pay stubs for the years that they are saying that I owed taxes for and I already paid this tax.

From Statewide Tax Recovery admin manager Katrina N - I called the client (***) and spoke to *** (from the city office) she informed me that the
denial was correct and that they do not exonerate for SSI after the 60 day
window that the taxpayer is given. I then called *** and explained the
information that I got from the city and she didn’t want to hear it from me so she
was going to call the *** herself. Conclusion is that this is a legitimate debt and *** does owe the balance
outstanding in our office per ***.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:
I was never informed that I had a deadline or was never told that I had to tell anyone that I was on social security. I didn’t do anything differently from when I was working till now and magically 4 yrs are exonerated? I lived in *** for almost 10 years and again I didn’t do anything different but work and pay taxes. This doesn’t make sense that they are chosen which years they will exonerate.

Regards

I am being fraudulantly charged by this company. The company states that I owe $36 for taxes & I do not owe anything & never owed money anywhere. I was sent a payment request letter in february 2020 saying if I didnt pay then I would be put in jail. This letter I have that I just got today which is april 18th 2020 says that its a “DEMAND LETTER”. The company wants my payment or they will take my wages & put me in jail & take my assests & take my personal belongings as collection & serve a distraint. The company is unresponsive when called. I refuse to call again after being on the fone the first time for 4 hours on hold. This company is a scammer. Also, they dont have my name soelled correctly. So thats another red flag. Please take care of this & stop this company from contacting me.

This is a SCAM!! We aren't delinquent on any of our taxes. How can they be able to send people letters like this that are fake???

This is a scam business. I got 2 bills from them recently stating I didnt pay my taxes. I knew for a fact I did. Shortly after I got the second bill I recieved a notice from my local treasurers office stating to disregard any notice that I may have gotten from statewide recovery. It says if u have any questions about if you owe per capita taxes or occupational taxes to call your treasurers office.

I keep getting mail from statewide tax recovery about back owed taxes which is not true! I paid all the taxes sent to me every year. I tried calling this company and it just kept ringing and ringing. So I resorted to sending an email to them instead. They are threatening to take me to court and take my possessions if I don't pay their little amount of $30.50! I'm not paying something I do not owe!

They are trying to collect my county per capita taxes for my husband & I from back in 2013. We paid them & provided proof to Statewide Tax Recovery but they did not respond nor did they send anything at all to us letting us know it was NOT taken care of, then six years later, this past April 2019 a gentlemen from their office showed up at our door with a "STATEMENT OF DELINQUENT TAXES"
Showing where my husband & I both still owe for 2013 & they added a $50 charge.
I contacted the # that was listed on the notice we was given by this gentlemen & the lady that I spoke with told me to send my proof via email to her & provided her information for me to do so. I done that right away & asked her kindly to let me know if she did in fact receive it ok, she did respond that she had in fact RECEIVED it. There was never no more contact until the 4th of this month (Dec) when yet again a gentlemen came to our door with now the same notice but only for me, not my husband as well, the notice was identical to the last one (I have all my records/copies etc) just a different date on it & it increased yet again another $50 fee.
I contacted the office again @ the number on the notice, and again that is the same info from last notice, the lady I got this time gave me all the same conversation & her info, again I sent in proof & for BOTH myself & my husband. I asked her to let me know she in fact got it, she DID let me know just as the same as the last lady back in April did. I at that time told her that this happened back in April & I gave the email information & name of that employee whom I dealt with, she in return told me that she no longer works there & that is why this was not taken care of. I have yet to hear a response on anything now, I tried calling, I get a voicemail, I left messages, I sent emails to the email address I sent the proof to, nothing! I assume the next contact will be the gentlemen at our door again with a notice/s & that $50 fee/s added yet again.
With that said I decided to contact Revdex.com

I believe that this company is a fraudulent set up. I received a letter in the mail from the company stating I owe a debt to the school district- "MIFFLINBURG AREA SCHLS PER C." I do not owe any debts to any school district. My full name is not on the letter (Middle initial only instead of full middle name listed, suffix is not listed). I have not lived in the area in more than a decade, during which time I was a high school student and a dependent and therefore would not be paying taxes. The letter does not note my legal rights, which I believe supports my feeling that it is fraudulent. It does not say what the amount in question is for. The phone number listed on the website differs from the phone number listed on the letter.

Today 9-27-19 I received a bill in the amount of $30.50 for unpaid per capital tax and fees from 2016 (Riverside Borough). I already paid this bill on 5-1-2017 and have a copy of the cancelled check. I think this is some kind of scam fishing for people to pay bills from 2 years ago that Statewide has already collected. I believe that many people, including many elderly folks, will just pay Statewide again. Luckily, I have complete documentation.

Absolutely horrible. Northampton area school district taxes are mysteriously "not received," EVERY YEAR. They sell the alleged debts to these con artists and it is a nightmare to try to clear it up, even if you have solid proof you paid it and the school district cashed the checks. Thieves!!!!!! BTW... The threatening letters are especially nice, how they'll attach my spouse's wages. I'm not married, and they sent their threats to the wrong address. Ss

I received a bill for unpaid taxes in towns that I did not live during that time. I have been calling Statewide Tax Recovery for five years now to get resolved and they said I still have to pay. Yesterday, I got another bill and the taxes for the one year jumped $50! They keep telling me there is nothing they can do to resolve this and I need to call the tax collector's in those towns which I already have three times! Statewide is now sending me threatening letters about showing up at my house but are refusing to resolve this at all!

I had a garnishment on my paycheck which a paid off too have it lifted .They received a check from my company. Which I was asked if I wanted it returned to me I said yes and checked on the reason why I hadn't received it yet. And was always given a different answer .On Friday the 8rh of June I was told my paycheck was never garnished (This was the supervisor of Statewide Recovery ) and they didn't have my Money. I called payroll at ***. and it was them and they still have not sent it.

Harassment for school Tax on a property I have not lived in for 25 years. Property belonged to my mother. Deceased. All taxes were taken care of at settlement. I have all legal paperwork from sale of property.

Received a notice about a delinquent tax notice from Derry Township, 2014 TWP per Cap for $30.50, and I have no idea what this is. After reading complaints about this company I do not want to deal with them. How does this happen? How can I find out what this is without contacting the company. I'm afraid to contact them thinking they will continue to send me notices and harass me.

Statewide Tax Recovery sent me a certified letter stating that I owed taxes on numerous things dating back to 2016. I have no bills and have only been at my address for about 1 and a half years. The letter threatened to garnish wages. When I called them they answered with "hello" with a lot of noise in the back ground. I stated my name and asked if it was statewide tax recovery and the response was just "yes" so I told them what I received and that I didn't agree with it and then was put on hold for about 20 minutes till I hung up. This seems like an awfully shady business practice! I will definitely not be going online to just "pay my bill". I also did some research on them and everything comes up very negative and that they are scammers.

Horrible, awful, despicable, scammers!!! I'm on a disability and have been exempt in the past every time they tell me I need to send something in I send it in they send me a denial letter then tell me to send in something else then block their email address or give me a fake one either way I can't get through... And they're still trying to hold me accountable.

They are CROOKED as they come.
Today, I received a "Bill" from them for $80.50. After talking to them this is the breakdown. Earlier this year, I owed them a bill of $30.50. $5.50 for the bill, and $25.00 for collections. I paid that in April. Since that time, no other bill was received and everything was paid in full. Apparently, they had noticed that they never sent out a bill for $%.50 from back in 2016 and this NEW $80.50 bill was for that. $5.50 for the initial bill, $25.00 for collections, and $50.00 for visiting my home??? All for a bill I NEVER received. I asked for the contact information for the client I originally owed the $5.50 bill to, and they refused. I wished to alert them to the fact that they are applying late fees in excess of 1400% of the initial bill. Still, they refused. I also asked to give me the date when they "Visited" my property, since I have 24/7 video surveillance, again, they refused. They are basically saying I need to pay this 1400% late fee on $5.50 on "Their Word" that all of these things happened, and they refuse to give me ANY information for me to check on the validity of ANY of their claims. This is a SHADY company and rightfully deserves the D- rating they have with the Better Busines Bureau. I've never been in contact with ANY company as shady as they are in refusing to give ANY information about this bill or for our ability to verify their claims. we are just supposed to take their word for it. I see others have had a similar complaint. I agree with another review, this company is COMPLETELY unprofessional and ethically twisted. I am now working on alerting the original debtor to whom I own my initial $5.50 to about their collection tactics and asking them to respond to allowing such practices to continue. This is simply extortion at it's fullest and it's being legallaay allowed.

This company came to our home during the day while we were at work. Our 14 year old son was outside playing basketball. The representative handed our son the paperwork and told him to give it to us. Then proceeded to ask him questions about what we do for a living, if we own property, etc etc. It is appalling enough that we never lived in the county for which these guys say we owe taxes to, but to question our MINOR CHILD is absolutely unacceptable. This company is so professional and ethically twisted.

So I received this letter stating I owed in taxes and that someone may come to my personal residence and collect personally. This letter contained no dollar amount. So I called. They claimed I owed $706 for "per capita tax" from 2013 to 2016. Knowing I didn't live in Northumberland county those years. I called the county tax office and spoke to them instead. I submitted proper documentation to prove that I didn't live there at those times.

These people claim you owe them money. While you may or may not owe, I would definitely do your research(especially if you havnt lived in that county) and talk to the tax office. They thought they could get me for $700, think again.

This is a debt collection agency that seems to think they are above the law because they deal with tax recovery. Even after filing complaints here and with the FTC, they informed me that there are no laws that apply to them and they have the right to take any action they see fit, including entering someone's home and seizing personal possessions or property without a warrant or a court order. They also indicated that they could add as many fees as they see fit. I sought the advice of an attorney and only paid them because the debt in question was less than $100 and attorney's fees and court costs would have cost me thousands. Something needs to be done about these people. Even the IRS has to follow laws.
