THIS COMPANY IS A RIP-OFF! My husband and I paid $500.00 for their investigation- which they claimed was mandatory before they began. The "investigation" basically told us what we knew already. We owed a DEBT. Optima then gave us a big bill , around 3k to pay them on top of the $500.00 we had already paid. No guarantees. We opted to not go with them and go with a CPA which was CHEAPER ONLY 1500! OPTIMA refused to refund any of the $500.00 we paid! DO NOT GO TO THIS COMPANY!!!! TRY YOUR LOCAL CPA!!!!!!

This company HAS to be paying for positive reviews. They have been helpful in only one way: parting me with money I could have used to find a better alternative. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. Trust me, I could have saved thousands of dollars and months of anguish if I had just done some more research. This company has many bad reviews if you drill down deep enough to get past the positive ones they have bought.

Horrible experience. Complete disconnect between what was promised us by their sales representative and the actual representatives. We kept sending them endless paperwork while our fees and interest increased. Ended up paying more than when we started one year after. As far as I am concerned, they are a complete scam. They are fee before service so they don’t care to offer any services since you have paid them already. Horrible mistake to have been involved with them. A word to the wise is enough. Avoid being a victim to their scam and go somewhere else.

SMH. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! GO TO IRS.GOV TO READ MORE ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AS A TAXPAYER OR MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR LOCAL IRS OFFICE TO DISCUSS YOUR ISSUE. THAT IS WHAT I WISH WE HAD DONE. PAID OPTIMA $1K. ONLY TO BE HARRASSED TO SIGN DOCUMENTS AUTHORIZING OTR TO DIRECT DEBIT MY HUSBAND'S BANK ACCOUNT. THE CONTRACT(YES CONTRACT) USE LANGUAGE SUCH AS: BOUND, WILL ATTEMPT , AND NO GUARANTEE. AGAIN, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!

Optima is a scam. They do nothing that you cannot do for yourself. If you qualify, go and get the forms and fill them out. If you need help filling out the forms, walk in to a local accounting office and ask for it. You will spend thousands less and get the same result. I lost 6,500 to these guys and it was my fault. They tell you one thing on the phone and then have you sign a document that claims there is no guarantee. Total Scam! Check the positive reviews, something seems off.
