JK Harris
Misrepresentation and fraud

I signed an agreement with JK Harris after meeting with a local representative. After taking all of my information he told me that if the information I gave was true I would owe the IRS no more than $500. (This information included credit card bills, mortgage expenses that go over the allowed amount, and other items that he knew could not be used but added them anyway).

During this fifteen month journey with JK Harris I have been passed from one representative to another. I have had five different representatives. The only time i knew I had been given to another person was when I called trying to find out where I stood in the process. Each time I was told by the new representative that I needed to fax over all the information again. They had no idea what was going on and knew nothing about where I stood in my case.

I was sent a letter by the IRS stating that a lien was going to be put against me by a certain date if certain information was not sent to them. I sent the letter to my representative. I found out later that he was no longer my representative and he had not passed the information to my new one. I spoke with my new representative and she told me that she spoke with the IRS and no lien would be put against me. The next week a lien was placed against my checking account and it was emptied by the IRS.

Fifteen months latter I was finally given a date with the IRS for my meeting on the offer and compromise. I was told to send over 6 months of records to the IRS representative. JK HArris had an attorney on the phone but who never requested a copy of the updated material and never spoke with me before the call.

During this call I was informed that credit cards do not count as debt as well as many other expenses. I also found out that you can only claim a certain amount of debt each month toward your mortgage. I was denied and told I owe the full amount. Because of a decrease in salary at the time my debt is 300 more a month than my income without the taxes. This meant nothing to the IRS and all JK Harris can say is we will help you set up a five year payoff plan with the IRS.

It was the exact same information I gave to the local JK Harris company in the very beginning that I gave to the IRS in the end. JK Harris should have told me upfront that they could not help me rather than take $3,500 of my money for absolutely nothing.

This company is nothing but a big fraud and should be closed down and fined. I am open to join anyone in a class action lawsuit.
