No. The process begins with a letter to the taxpayer from the IRS, informing them that the account has been turned over to a private collection agent (PCA). The PCA will follow up with a letter of its own. In no circumstance should the PCA request that payment be mate to them. All payments are to be made directly to the IRS.
