-11- 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.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
