Client Reviews of Cheryl L. Bridgwater, CAA

Zero Stars.. I would choose negative stars if it was an option!! This lady = a freaking joke! A liar and a fraud!! She took total advantage of my I experienced, unsuspecting boyfriend and his 70 something year old, crippled mother! This lady made far too many "mistakes" for her to try and chalk it up to honest neglegence. Neglegence is not even the appropriate term here! This woman violated several FEDERAL LAWS in her handlings with my family and she does NOT need to be given the permission to put anyone else's sensitive and detrimental life affairs in her hands. Just to name a few of the inhumane acts of pure financial abuse she committed, not expecting someone like me to come along and call her out on her mess, nevertheless... Here's a small list just to get an idea of what a monster this lady is and what turmoil she has and is putting my family through, but the total number of infractions on her part is all that of nearly triple the amount, if not more. She filed 2 additional years, other than the only 2 she was requested to file for, without knowledge or consent of my boyfriend's. She added dependants to one of his returns. Without knowledge or consent, and jacked his income up to over $70,000. All without knowledge or consent. The only way we were even able to find out was because we received a letter from the iRS telling us of the corrections they made!!! She actually screwed herself on that one because her dumb self entered a social security # incorrectly one one of the dependants she put down to claim, another one she misspelled the name and it didn't match what they had on file, and on a 3rd dependant she claimed, she must've missed the math on that ones birthday because they had since aged out of the bracket in which they were available to even be claimed as his dependant. Quick side note. My boyfriend does not have any children and has never claimed any dependants on any years taxesz all of which he is only familiar with filing at all maybe a handful of times in his entire life. !!!! She also gave herself permission to make decisions on his behalf and checked the box as if he gave the ok for her to I out a number as opposed to his signature, instilling the same permission. As to which he most certainly did not do because he didn't sign anything. She let him walk out of her little house with NOT ONE signature on one piece of paper!!! Nor did she provide him with any copies of anything that had taken place in their meeting. Oh one more thing on that particular return.. my boyfriend does not have a bank account at all. So he was wanting to get a paper check!!! Why this Cheryl lady chose the direct deposit option. I put someone's bank account and routing numbers on his form (don't know whose due to the XXXX's for security reasons). Another detail we never would have know had we not got that it's letter. Ya. They kindly apologized as to how they weren't going to be able to carry out the instructions sent in with that return on form 8888, which is a form for instructions on disbursing a return to multiple different bank accounts and/or purchasing bonds with a portion of it!!!!!!!! NONE OF THESE THINGS WERE DONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT OF MY BOYFRIEND. All this was done in June and I made him return to her house in November when there was still no sign of a refund because trying to get in touch with this creature was like trying to walk on water. Impossible! Never answering or returning calls or texts. So finally when he goes back out there in November wanting to know where his refund is she is like oh dang I forgot to hit send. Then punches some button on her little lappy top.. and then proceeds to give my boyfriend, allegedly, the 2 years of returns he actually was trying to get filed, and told him he was going to have to go mail them in. No one went with him so who knows what he acually put in the mail. Here we are in mid February. Was finally able to get her on the phone s couple of times. She gave my mother
