JK Harris is quoted as being a friend to the consumer dealing with the IRS - My husband and I find that to be false and have read many blogs of unhappy people as to the actions of this company. How do they get away with it???
I was audited by the IRS for undeclared taxes. Being on disability for severe chronic pain, this mistake was made by me - adding instead of subtracting a number.
In any case, a representative told me that JK Harris could help me get payments with the IRS for $50 a month. I was a little hesitant and so was my husband, about giving the rep a $950 fee to start the "procedure" with the IRS; but, we were cajoled into giving them the money. Mind you, $950 is a lot of money to give them for us. My husband has a severe heart problem and has to work part time to pay for all the medications that Medicare won't pay for.\
I received a letter from Lytoya Stanley, on June 20, 2007, stating that she would be our "case worker". I e-mailed her several times to ask what the status of our case was - no reply. I finally called her and was told that she was "frankly baffled" by our case. She stated that she spoke to the IRS and was told we "didn't owe" anything - that the problem was an underestimate of taxes.
When I told her "why did we hire JK Harris" for, she said all I had to do was get in touch with the IRS and they would set up a payment plan, which I finallyt did. She also stated that we had to wait for 30 to 45 days for a refund. When I told her that the "rep" in New Port Richey told me about the $50 payment plan - she said "well I doubt she said that".
I sent a certified letter to JK Harris to return our money - I received a signed certified receipt - no reply and no money. Meanwhile, all the interest and penalties have piled up while we were waiting for a reply from JK Harris.
How in the world does this company get away with this fraud?
I sent letters to the Attorney General, Consumer Affairs, etc. All I get are letters that they are working on the case.
This company has to be revealed - there are many poor people like us being taken advantage of.
