Quick Answer: AmeriPride Tax Group appears to have hurt this consumer, as the company went out of business after collecting $2,000 in 2010 for tax representation services. The consumer received no meaningful assistance and had to personally negotiate with the IRS to stop a bank levy after AmeriPride disappeared.
Consumer Statement:
Hired AmeriPride in 2010,For $2000 to be my POA & file a 2848 form! It was over 18 months when I finally heard from someone name Audra wright stating that she has the case loads for the company because Amerpride had gone out of business !!! Haven’t heard anything from her since which was back in May 2012!!’
Consumer Action Taken:
Every weekday I read the enforcement actions, filings and fine print the outlets skip, and turn them into the one or two moves that actually improve your position — a rate worth moving for, a fee you can refuse, a deadline to beat before it costs you.
I write Your Money Actually most weekdays — actionable money information you will not find anywhere else, and the small decisions that compound. It is free, I sell nothing, and I take no money from any company I write about.
With constant calls, emails no response!!! Had to try and negotiate with IRS personally to stop bank levy!!!

Before You Sign Anything: Run any debt relief contract through the free Contract Decoder to spot hidden fees and unfair terms. Check the company’s complaint history with the Scam-O-Meter.
Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement.
