Q: Adp mistakenly sent taxes on payrolls that were done in error by an employee that did not know how to process payroll
mistakenly sent taxes on payrolls that were done in error by an employee that did not know how to process payroll accurately. Payrolls were voided immediately (proof can be provided by adp)
But taxes and paycheck monies were drafted out of my pnc account totaling over 200k my bank was notified of adps error and refunded my account that was in the negative. My business was forced to close and I was hurt tremendously by this error.. adp made another mistake by sending payroll taxes to the irs on my behalf with out noticing that my account reversed the transaction. They hired a collection agency to collect 279,000 from me .. as I await the arrival of the overpayment check from irs.. can I be accused of a crime if I don’t refund them or “settle the debt promptly “ or will this remain a civil matter? Again just to note I have proof the entire thing was a mistake however taxes were sent on my behalf in my name so it’s my decision to settle or pay in full . Can I be charged if I refuse
A: You really need to seek an in person consultation where the attorney can see all the paperwork to give you a proper answer, but expect to pay for the attorneys time as that is not part of the normal criminal free in office consultation.
