I have had many problems getting Sunita Sood's office to answer simple questions about my case and have also been led on wild goose chases as a result. The errors by her office have caused me to go to additional hearings (because her paperwork was not filled out properly) and I've had to go back to b...anks, after receiving bad information from her staff, in order to correct the errors.
I've spent the last few months battling the IRS for the thousands that they owe me. Last week, after the IRS lied again about when I'd receive my money so I could pay Sood, they called her office directly to "explain" their latest excuses regarding their delays. Sood's office told the IRS, and me, that she would call back - once again, she never did. I finally received one check (that the IRS should have sent a long time ago) today — the IRS still owes me an even larger one for thousands of additional dollars.
Today, I called Sunita Sood's office as I finally received one of the checks from the IRS in order to find out how much money I had to bring in prior to a hearing tomorrow - not only do the figures seem to change (due to the changes in paperwork that have had to be filed with the court), but the exact amount owed has been unclear — all I wanted to find out was exactly how much I needed to bring in. Instead, I was lectured by Sunita Sood's staff about why they're "too busy" to provide this information and that person slammed the phone down on me. I called back and demanded to speak directly to Sunita Sood. As usual, she didn't want to be bothered and told me that she "wasn't going to play any more games" - well, neither am I.
Sood also sends out notices that contain wrong information that creates extreme and unneeded additional stress on her “clients” — according to the last letter I received (and this is a direct quote), “Failure to make the above payments [by July 10, 2009] shall result in the dismissal of your case.” As I’ve been fighting with the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board, and other agencies to get them to send the money they owe me (so that I could pay Sood), the IRS made several calls to verify if the July 10, 2009 date was valid — it was NOT. The date provided by Sood was pulled out of thin air. In fact, the IRS noted that there would NOT be a problem if my payments were delayed — and the individual from the IRS stated that he even spoke with the Chapter 13 Trustee who confirmed that there were NO negative actions pending against me.
