you have already been determined to be liable.
Therefore, the scope of this collection due process
hearing will focus only on a proposed collection alter-
native to the proposed levy action on the 1996 and 1997
balances referenced in Letter 1058. As a collection
alternative to the lien or levy action proposed, you
may request consideration of either an Offer in Compro-
mise or an Installment Agreement; however, you MUST
provide Form 433A (Collection Information Statement for
Individuals) or Form 433B (Collection Information
Statement for Businesses), and/or Form 656 (Offer in
Compromise package), AT THE TIME OF YOUR SCHEDULED
HEARING. Furthermore, neither collection alternative
will be considered if you are not in filing compliance
at the time of your Appeals conference.
In response to the October 21, 2003 letter, petitioner sent
the settlement officer a letter dated November 4, 2003 (November
4, 2003 letter). In the November 4, 2003 letter, petitioner,
inter alia, informed respondent that he needed to reschedule the
hearing with the settlement officer because of his disability and
that he would be bringing a stenographer to record that hearing.
Petitioner also sent respondent a letter dated November 14,
2003 (November 14, 2003 letter). In the November 14, 2003
letter, petitioner stated in pertinent part:
After our telephone conversations of November 10
and November 13 [2003], you have convinced me of the
benefit to me of setting up an installment plan with
you, rather than waiting to deal with a collections
officer.
I will only enter into such an agreement with the
documented understanding that I do not think I owe this
money; I am simply making this agreement as a conve-
nience to myself. I intend to pursue violation of due
process and fraud on the court in this specific matter
with subsequent court actions.
