offer them a fraction back of the taxes they robbed from them in the first place

I had two IRS liens on me in the town I was living when I drove big trucks.

I called the recorders office. They told me send a check for $4 and SASE and we will send copies.

I had these credit repair lawyers, Lexington Law in Utah, challenge the IRS. The IRS could not prove I owed the tax and were forced to withdraw the liens.

My Credit Karma used to say "2" for Public Filings, now it says "0".

The proof is in the pudding. ;)
