Contact your bank to make sure the payment was authorized. They may be able to backcharge it.

I am not familiar with this particular company, unhappily though, the “pennies-on-the-dollar” mills are well known for getting very high fees upfront. That is before they even check their client’s financial situation to see if they are even eligible for an offer in compromise.

To answer your question, without first learning your tax debt amount, income, assets, and liabilities, no work could be done. Those facts need to be known in order to quickly eliminate those who do not qualify for an OIC. Once it is learned that the client may qualify on those grounds, the work to prepare an OIC can begin.

Talk to your bank about preventing any more withdrawals.

You will probably have to take this to small claims court to get a refund.

You “signed” a contract (clicking “I agree” on the net counts). It’s not their fault you didn’t have them do the work.
