The IRS Is Using Private Debt Collectors Again

Last year, Congress authorized the Internal Revenue Service to use private debt collectors to go after unpaid tax liabilities—and this month, if you are one of the unfortunate, you may have already had the pleasure first-hand. The U.S. Treasury hopes to assign up to 1,000 delinquent accounts a month to each of four different companies, which will be able to keep 25 percent of the tax bills they collect.

What I find amusing about this is they have done this twice in the past, and both times, the Fed considered it a "failure".  Smiley Very Happy
