      In September 2022 I filed for bankruptcy, the experience wasn’t the best, the person I signed my documents with was no longer working with the company within 3 weeks of me filing so now I’m dealing with 5 different people Dom the company which was weird because I was referred by my sister who had nothing but good things to say about David Skylar and associates but she only dealt with one person, a female named Rhoda. When filing bankruptcy they file for you taxes and in 2 increments, which I was iffy about only because when it comes to CRA I don’t play and I have never owed CRA money. Fast forward to December 2024 I receive an email from CRA so I log into my account and to my surprise David Skylar and associates applied for a ******* benefit which I know I don’t qualify for hence why I’ve never applied for it and now I owe CRA $637.21. I contacted Mark M***** form David Skylar and he said I need to work it out with CRA. I called CRA and they confirmed that a cheque was mailed to David Skylar. So now I send an email to Mark along with my reassessment 2022 NOA Mark replies they’ll need to investigate. I inform Mark there is nothing to investigate as they received the payment and my reassessed NOA shows it. It’s now been 3 months and Mark has been ignoring my calls and emails. I paid CRA as I had no choice and now I want my funds returned to me. ****** **** ** ** *** ** ***** **** ***** ****** *** *********** 

      Business Response

      You are correct that the employee you started the process
      with ***** ** ****** * ********* ****** *** resigned from our company shortly
      after you filed with us.  ******** ******** ** ************

      Depending on the issue, you would deal with a different
      person whose expertise is needed for the issue at hand.

      In a bankruptcy, as legislated by the ****** *** *** ******** ** ******* *********, there is a deemed tax year end as at the date of
      bankruptcy, hence the requirement to file 2 returns in the year of
      bankruptcy.  This was also communicated
      in writing with a signed acknowledgement from you that you received this
      document.

      Our office did not apply for the ****** *******
      Benefit.  There are safeguards in the tax
      software that will not claim the ****** ******** Benefit if the income exceeds
      the threshold.  When CRA assessed the
      2022 tax return, they granted the ****** ******** Benefit as part of their
      assessment process. 

      We did advise you on February 4, 2025 that we needed to
      investigate the reassessment as it appeared to be incorrect based upon the
      specific rules pursuant to the ****** *** *** and the limited information
      provided regarding the reassessment.  We
      have reached out to CRA for additional information and CRA has advised that you
      cancelled your consent to allow us to speak with CRA regarding your tax account.  As a result, it is taking considerably longer
      to get the information necessary to determine the specifics of this issue.

      We have maintained from the start that once the issue is
      resolved and the factual nature of the reassessment is determined, if the funds
      in question have been received into your bankruptcy estate, the bankruptcy
      estate would return the funds to CRA. 
      The same holds true if you have paid CRA, once the issue is resolved,
      and if appropriate to the facts, we will reimburse you.

      We fully understand your frustration, but until we can
      review the appropriate documents and determine if the reassessment is accurate
      and valid, we are at the mercy of CRA** ******* ********* ********** ************ ****** and your cooperation.
