Rip-off Report Investigation:

Editor's UPDATE: Positive Rating and Recognition has been given to IPA – International Profit Associates for its Commitment to Excellence in customer service.

Rip-off Report's investigation of IPA uncovers an ongoing commitment to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect the company will always work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns, more importantly IPA is concerned with the new growth and success of their clients business – and, IPA is listening carefully to what its clients are saying. After all, when becoming creative to make things better, making changes for the benefit of the business sometimes comes hard like any good lesson.

One top executive of the company stated to Rip-off Report, “that IPA's corporate philosophy is based on the premise that IPA will advance itself through first advancing its clients. Their process starts by identifying what clients want, then reinforcing and continuing with its work, which ultimately leads to Client Company Life Cycle Management - what clients needs as they grow from start-up to maturity continuing through exit strategy and retirement for the business owner.”

Rip-off Report has confirmed that IPA's approach to business includes a total corporate quality assessment. The result of which, leads to continual dedication to quality operations, client and employee relations, and innovation management.

It is our opinion that large and small business owners can feel confident in the fact that IPA has worked with thousands of businesses in Canada and the United States. They are a full business development company and innovators in their field and have successfully helped thousands of businesses by providing new and innovative ideas and solutions for almost every type of business imaginable.

=====================
NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

=====================

International Profit Associates Ripoff talked their way into our office and before we knew it they had given us invoices for $33,000 for a small amount of information Buffalo Grove Illinois

These guys are good at what they do, however what they do is not good for YOU! These people are professional all right...They are professional con artists. They made us believe that we were going to save three times their "cost" in tax savings and within a week had billed us $33,000.

We got on this website after we got suspicious and instantly stopped pay on the checks. I am sure that we will end up in court over this...What a mess.

#1 Consumer Suggestion

IPA Cannot Do Business in your State!! ..Everyone who has been duped by this crooked company you are not obligated to pay them one single penny

AUTHOR: John - Miami (U.S.A.)

Please Read! Everyone who has been duped by this crooked company you are not obligated to pay them one single penny. IPA is only registered to conduct business in 5 out of 50 states in this country and they are the states of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, Minnesota, and Maine.

The following IPA subsidiary companies including, but limited to, IPA A & I or IPA Advisory and Intermediary Services, International Tax Advisors, International Capital Associates, Integrated Business Analysis, IPA mergers and Acquisitions, IPA E Services, IPA Professional Development Services, IPA Travel Services, ITA Implementation Services, IPA Med Services, International Enterprise Associates, Creative Tax Strategies, ITA Insurance Services, and Sundae Inc. are only registered to do business in two states, Illinios and Nevada.

If you have been ripped off by IPA or any of their subsidiary companies and your business is located in any other state besides the 5 mentioned above, then you have every right not only to refuse to pay them but you have every right to file suit against them using your state's judicial system and not the Illinois court system as it claims in their contract. The contract you signed with them is invalid because they were not allowed to conduct business with your company in the first place.

You will most likely win any lawsuit that you are thinking of persuing for the very simple and mere fact that IPA was not authorized to practice business in your state and therefore any business that has been conducted by IPA in your state was done so illegally. You should immediately contact your state's law enforcment agency and ask them to file criminal charges against IPA.

#2 Consumer Suggestion

Take it to the Networks, Thanks to the wonders of the internet

AUTHOR: Charles - Hoffman Estates (U.S.A.)

I was supposed to be going for an interview tomorrow morning at the Buffalo Grove office for employment at IPA. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, I decided to do a little research. Wow, am I ever glad I did!

I have a small wholesale business so I can sympathize with everyone that has posted here.

I would like to make a suggestion that may help everyone clear up this obvious problem.

Take it to the media. I know there's a lot of issues going on around the world that may make ours seem trivial but this company sounds like a problem that needs to be addressed. 60 minutes, 48 hours and Another 48 hours are always doing inside reports on companies just like this. Let Mike Wallace get a hold of these guys. They would probably be willing to pay him a $500 deposit and flat fee of $3,000 just to get him out of their office. There is power in numbers, and we little guys need support not scams.

From one small business owner to another, I wish you all the best. Times are tough enough with out someone cutting a hole in our pockets.

Best Wishes and God Bless America!!!!!
