Private Debt Collection IRS

[keithk]

Does a private debt collection agency assigned by IRS have the ability to consider and grant a penalty relief request? A new client has an S-Corp late filing penalty for 2015. Has anyone had dealings with private debt collection agencies to know what they are authorized for?
