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.

JK Harris - How I wish I would have read some of the complaints about this Company on this site! My husband and I found ourselves in an unfortunate situation. JK Harris looked like a viable solution. I should have known when they wanted THOUSANDS of dollars up front that it was too good to be true. After several months and many phone calls they provided virtually NO assistance. BEWARE this is another of those areas where a business is set up to prey on individuals that feel as though they are in a helpless situation. If you are having problems w/ the IRS contact them ASAP. Your IRS agent can provide you with more support and direction than any Tax service agency. Then immediatly find and pay for a certified TAX ACCOUNTANT. Then if you must hire a TAX ATTORNY. JK Harris does not provided tax accounting or legal services. They just gather data from you and fill out the forms.

I'VE READ A FEW RESPONSES AND AFTER CAFEFULL CONSIDERATION HAVE DECIDED TO POST MY ORDEAL, I RESPONDED LIKE MANY OTHERS TO JK HARRIS' ADD THINKING THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME. AFTER MY INTERVIEW AND ME PAYING 1900.00 I WAS GIVEN A PACKET TO FILL OUT. THE PACKET WAS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL I LATER FOUND OUT, SO I CALLED AND POINTED OUT THEIR MISTAKE AND ASKED FOR A BUSINESS PACKET. SUPPOSEDLY THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE SENT THAT OUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT ONCE A MONTH LEAVING A MESSAGE FOR MY REPRESENTIVE, WITH NOT RESPONSE. LIKE MOST CON GAMES THIS ONE IS AN EXCELLENT ONE. NOT ONLY DO THEY COVER THEMSELVES IN ARTICLES OF INCORPERATION, BUT WHAT BETTER BACKING THAN BEING A LAWYER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS INTERNET FRAUD AND INTERSTATE FRAUD, I BELIEVE A CLASS ACTION SUIT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS THEIVERY, BUT THAT CASE WOULD BE YEARS IN LITIGATION. SO LIKE THE REST OF YOU ALL I CAN SAY IS ADMIT YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN AND MOVE ON, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GET THEIRS IN THE END...

It has been about 8 years since JK Harris ripped me off. I have been fighting back against JK Harris and Monica Linder ever since. The Massachusetts Attorney Generals office just called me about a month ago to ask if my claim against JK Harris was ever satisfied. that was 6 years to late. They where about to file charges against JK Harris, but JK worked out an agreement before hand. That makes about 8 states that have filed against JK Harris, having no effect on the way they do business.

I have suggested that people file complaints with the Post Office, for Mail Fraud, and I have filed a brief with the Justice department, (I am not a lawyer). However, the most effective way to get your money back, is to take them to small claims court. Most, but not all the time it works. The success rate is probable 99%. It is up to you. If you put the effort into it, you will persevere. Small claims works best, for usually the amount is less than the limit for your state. Most states it's $2500-$5000. HOWEVER!!!

File a claim in small claims court. Name JK Harris as the defendant, and the sales person as the confident. You must name a sales person as the confidant, or you will not collect your money. Use the address where you met as the serving address. JK will not appear in court to fight the claim, for should they, they would have to explain why they haven't performed, and why they screwed you. 'IMPORTANT'...When you go to the hearing, ask the court for 'TREBLE' damages, (3x's) the amount owed.

Tell the court about how they have caused you grief, aggravation, and financial hardship. You will receive a judgment. Send a certified letter to JK Harris corporate, demanding payment of the judgment, stating that should it not be paid as ordered by the court, that you will seek a 'CAPIAS'. That is an arrest warrant naming the sales person. Thirty days later, you will have to go back into court, for the Capias, send a copy to JK corporate, and to the sales office, and ask them where it would be most convenient to be arrested, you should receive your money at this time.

Should the amount exceed the limit set by small claims, then you would have to file in Superior Court. that is usually for amounts in excess of $25000. You can represent yourself, but it is a lot more work and effort. However, JK has to send an attorney to court to represent the company, which can cost them a ton of money.

Your choice, fight back, of live with the loss.

AFTER YOU PAY THEM OFF. THEY CUT YOU OFF!
