In March 2006 I received a notice that I owed money to them for back taxes. Not having the money to send, I contacted J. K. Harris Company via a local representative.
I was told by this representative that since I was on Social Security and did not have the money - or other assets to sell to pay it - that they would file me as "uncollectable" and, that there should be no problem with this. They were paid $850.00 for their services by my daughter, who herself had problems, but she did it for mom.
I continued to receive notices from the IRS for months after I had the conversation and a signed paper that they would take care of it. Each time I contacted J. K. Harris, who assured me that they were taking care of this.
Then in January of 2007 I received a notice from the IRS that they were going to attached a lien to my home if they taxes were not paid in 10 days.
I contacted J. K. Harris for about the 8th time to tell them that they were going to attach a lien to my home. I had to talk to a person who answered the phone and was told she knew nothing about this and she would have the coordinator handling my case call me back. Well, that never happened. So - as the 10 days ran out my daughter took out a second mortgage on her home and paid it off for me.
I received no help from J. K. Harris at all - They are frauds and should not be able to get away with this kind of unethical business practices.
