First let me say before you read any further that you should immediately call the Better Business Bureau and The Federal Trade Commission for Consumer Protection! This company has no business ethics and they contain your personal information. I had just completed my taxes for 2007 using Turbo Tax, and since we are in the process of buying a house, I needed to file for 2006. I googled file for 2006 and filelate.com was one of the sites that came up. I enrolled, payed and submitted my information. 3 days have gone bye and I have heard absolutely nothing from the company. I tried calling the 800 number they provide, but it doesnt work. Do not fall for their scheme that makes it look like they can be easily reached... THEY CANT!
I tried doing the online chat and Elizabeth told me that she would forward the information to a manager and that someone would get back to me. Of course its not true. Elizabeth is probably some old fat man typing from his basement. I had to track the domain name and the company that has been hired as their server and call that company to be able to reach anyone. Once I was physically able to speak with some one, I was upset. I was trying to explain all of the hurdles that I had to go through just to speak with someone and they said Mam if you dont stop talking and let me speak I will hang up on you! UNBELIEVABLE! He went on to explain that they are internet based and that if I wanted to speak with someone about my taxes I should go with another company. I told him that thats fine but in the meantime, they have VERY personal information about me and I have no way of contacting them.
Bottom line, he was EXTREAMLY RUDE! At this point I am concerned that I have mistakenly given my information to some identity thieves. The chat doesnt work, emailing doesnt work and calling doesnt work. I can honestly say I regret ever going tot his site! BUYER BEWARE!
As a result, my taxes are still not files, I have no idea who has my information, I have had to place fraud alert on my bank accounts and have also gone to lifelock.com so that I can have SOME peace of mind after this nightmare!!
