They lost tax exempt status because they were not acheiving a tax exempt purpose.
@571f66dbee31976b67e537babef034d0:disqus Can you explain what that means and how it relates to the debt management programs that the non profits offer?
Why was their non profit status revoked ? Was it because they were doing for-profit settlement?
These appear the result of the nonprofit credit counseling IRS examinations that had been in the work for some time and not the result of any debt settlement activity.
