I received a Levy from the IRS for $99,975 as a result of a company we hired to install a alarm system for us.
We engaged an alarm company (MIS) to install a new alarm and video system at a cost of $34,000.
The Alarm company (MIS) installed most of the new equipment we purchased from them, however, they left the job substantially unfinished and most of it not working, and left us with no warranty on the failed components. They (MIS) apparently had financial difficulties and sold out to another company. They apparently had a huge IRS liability they could not pay in the amount of $99,975.00.
It appears that they turned over their receivables to the IRS to collect, including the entire balance remaining for their abandoned and unfinished job they were doing for us. We already paid this alarm company (MIS) $21,000, leaving a balance of $13,000 provided they had completed the work and warranted same. Hence the IRS levy onto us!
We had to hire another company (ASP) to complete the work at a cost of ±$10,100.00 in addition to the wire we pulled and cameras we installed, and programming we figured out (in house) to get the system operational, as well as the replacement equipment we had to purchase to replace the failed items.
If the IRS claims we owe this entire bill for this system that (MIS) did not finished, maintain, or warrantee, are we over a barrel?
