I am a 73 year old woman living on social security. In June 2010, while living in western Maryland, I legally separated from my husband of 33 years and was awarded substantial court-ordered alimony which I was not able to collect.

My now deceased husband had serious problems with the IRS. After a lengthy interview by an IRS investigator, her report referred to me as an "inocent spouse," that I had no knowledge of, nor was I complicent in, any of these issues. The man died in March 2013 and at the end of April the IRS took $12,000.00 from my bank account (leaving an $1100.00 balance). That bank account was opened after I was legally separated from my husband and had returned to Arizona where I had family.

I spoke to the IRS agent who took the $12,000.00. The acknowledged that my name was not on the IRS return in question but that he took the funds from my account "because I could" and that he had not found any accounts in my then deceased husband's name. This IRS agent stated that legally he was required to tell me that I had the right to appeal his actions but then stated, "I'm warning you. If you appeal the $12,000 I will take your home." When I indicated that I wanted information on the appeal process he responded by having an IRS lien put on my home of which I was and am the sole owner.

In May 2013 I was contacted by an IRS attorney who informed me that my deceasaed husband had filed a law suit against the Commissioner of the IRS. The attorney asked if I wanted to represent his estate at trial in June 2013 and I informed her that he left no estate. The IRS attorney then informed the court that the plaintiff was deceased, that I was not party to the law suit nor was I party to the deceased's IRS issues. The lawsuie was dismissed for failure to prosecute.

In July 2013 I engaged Stevan Roberts, who represented himself as the head tax attorney with Barklay Capital in Boulder Colorado, to represent me for the return of the $12,000 which the IRS took and to have the lien on my home removed. I paid Mr Roberts' and Barklay Capital $2100.00 by a certified bank check for their services.

I sent a large number of documents substantiating that stated above to Barklay Capital and for several months communicated with several "staff attorneys" by eMail and by phone. I have had no response to any of my inquiries to Barklay Capital in more than a year. The only thing that Stevan Roberts and Barklay Capital did on my behalf was to accept my certified check in payment for their services.
