The situation, 2003 taxes prepared by H&R Block. An error was made on the local taxes and I took taxes back to them and they said they took care of it. Six months later I received another notice from local tax authority that they never recieved payment and were charging me fees, including sending the account to collections. But I never received a notice they were sending it to collections. Do I have any power to fight paying the collections charges since I received no notice? Further, H&R block will not pay anything! I have talked to managers, etc. Beware of them, their guarantee is faulty! This occured in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

No. When you filed in '04, '05 you should've had some indication that these taxes were still owed.
Go to www.irs.gov, type states in the search box, click on the link to your State. There should be contact information to speak to a human. Find out all you can, and ask for copies of what they show is owed....
good luck & bless

If after 6 months you received a notice that they didn't receive your payment...and they were sending it to collections..then they did notify you...if H & R Block made the correction...it's not their responsibility to pay your taxes for you....They don't guarantee payment for you.....they guarantee their work..and they fixed their work, I'm certain at no charge to you.....Probably should pay the tax authorities....tax evasion is quite a heafty charge!

If you are giving ALL the info, it sounds like H&R Block is responsible for your situation. Most reputable people will advise you that your accounts are going into collections after they have exausted all attempts to contact you. Keep in mind that people who use collection agencies, actually lose money. They would rather get the money from you. Forget the people you've been dealing with and go to the H&R Block wed site (just type in H&R Block on your search engine) and speak to someone there. You should get some help.

Ignore every thing. Calls, letters, and threats. Debtors prison no longer exists and you will get a nervous breakdown arguing with a 7 dollar an hour ex-convict, on your phone.
