Sometimes i look into the mirror to see if i have rip me off tatooed on my forehead.in 1999 and H&R Block in waynesville filed my returns. I had used this company since moving here. When the block employee filled out my returns i had droped them off at the office, they telephoned me when my returns were ready, i went by the office signed the returns and sent them through their rapid refund.
When i filed and applied for my refund in i was slapped in the face. Well, i seemed to owe the irs over $5,000 for monies i was unentitled to in 1999 and another $ 5,000 for 2000. Since the irs has kept my refund to pay on these amounts. However, these amounts have accured interest and penalities.
I called and set up an appointment to talk to a representative. When i entered i was greated by a gentlemen, he walked me to his office and started asking me questions that they should have asked me before perparing my return. After answering all of his questions, he told me i was to honest and he could not help me. Rip off no 1.
In april i applied online for a personal loan. I received a phone call in reference to the loan. I had been approved for a $15,000. I had planned to pay off the irs with this loan. To make a long story short, i sent them via westurn union over 1700.00. Because the monies were sent to canada, our local law enforment office is unable to help. Rip off no 2
This brings me to the doorstep of jk harris. I wanted to get the irs taken care of, even though i don't feel it is my fault, they make the rules.
I met at the asheville office edward miera, we discussed the situation that i was in, he stated that he would take care of everything for me. I signed a power of attorney form giving him authorization to speak to the irs about my case. He told me that they would go back 10 years of my taxes. He also stated that he could settle my account for between $600 to $ 700. I thought that sounded better than $10,000. He then told me that the total amount that i would need to pay was $2400.00.
I wrote a personal check for $700.00 that day, the remaining $ 1700.00 was put on a credit card that belongs to my boyfriend of 13 years. They were paid in full. I was told to expect a call from a consultant named nathanial in 3 to 5 days. I was also given two packets to take home, fill out and return to them. I returned both packets to the asheville office on the same day.
I received one call from a man named james, i was not at home when he called and after several attempts to reach him i gave up. The next letter i received was from angela stating that they had not received my second package, she had also sent me a new power of attorney form with two other peoples names on it. I made several attempts to call and still have not heard anything from anybody at jk harris.
I guess my next step will be the attorney generals office and my local clerk of court. Please somebody, stop these scam artist in their tracks. I would like to get at least some of this money back.
