THREATENING COLLECTIONS LETTER

If a letter directs you to call a number to pay Michigan tax debt, this is a scam! Be suspicious of text messages, emails or calls claiming you owe taxes. Official notices are mailed. Mierendorf clients are encouraged to securely upload or drop off any Federal or State tax notices for us to review for you.

PROTECT YOUR CHILD FROM IDENTITY THEFT!

Consider freezing your child’s credit by contacting the three national credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. More information and forms to be completed and mailed are available online. Once the credit file is frozen, a PIN will be assigned to your child’s file for future changes. You should monitor their free credit report. Pre-approved credit offers, IRS notices, collections notices or calls to a child are red flags.
