My first post about JK Harris and their tax scam goes back furhter than this web site posts. My first recorded post that you can look up is 213790, dated 10/2/06 and there are si others after that. The bottom line is that JK Harris hasn't changed in twelve years, despite being taken to court numerous times, and promises to change.

JK Harris was brought to court by the West Virginia Attorney General in 2008, (08c-1131), with sixteen other states, and they had agreed to cease their illegal practices and clean up their act.

It has been three years, and nothing has changed. You (consumer), have a few choices. As I have posted for the last 11 years, you can take JK Harris to small claims court, namd JK Harris as the defendant, and the sales person as the co defendant, ( if the sales person is no longer with the company, name another sales person, this is very important), use the business address as the place of service, or have it served on their registered agent, (listed with the secretary of state), ask for the full amount allowed by your state, whether they owe it to you or not, fot they must go to court and argue that they don't owe the money, at which time they can explain why they haven't performed to the terms of the contract, oh, and the arbitration clause, forget it. JK has already breached the contract, and a contract cannot be written to benefit one persoon, and not the other. When you go to court, JK will not show, ask the court for treble the amount, (3x's).After 30 days, youwill need to go back to courtand ask for a "Capius", that is an arrest warrant against the sales person. Send a copy of that to Monica Linder at the home office, and a copy to the sales person at your local office. At this point youshould get your money.

The other option is to send a letter to the Ag of West Virginia, along with your complaint, and tell them that JK Harris is in violation of their agreement dated and signed by JK Harris June 6, 2008. Also send a copy of your letter to John Harris, 1036 Wharf Indigo Place, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.

Good luck,

Still getting ripped off..... they haven't done a thing and wont return calls. They just steal money.

My mouth hit the floor when I read this update on the JK Harris class action. 

My husband & I paid $7,500.00, up front to have an offer in compromise done to settle 6 years of business partnership back taxes. We waited a year without hearing much from our representative, after filling out all the paperwork. My husband died in 2003, we had not gotten anything but tax lien papers from the IRS & CA state tax board since then. When I got the papers for the class action, I filled them out with a copy of the check & our contract.I was certainly hoping to get most of it back so I can forward it to the IRS. But it looks like after one check for $42.50, last year all I'll get back is maybe one more check for $40...if I'm lucky!!!!!

If this settled for $6,000,000 (six million) divide that by 68,000 other people never mind lawyers cut, which I hope must be paid separately, I think it comes out to $88 & change for each of us...I wish I had opted out.

I was asked to be part of this law suit and have not heard anything, Can anybody help with whats going on and if we are getting any MONEY back????? JK HARRIS IS BAD PEOPLE THEY SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS.
Thanks

Yup, they get to make installments.

Right up until they file bankruptcy or simply close the business at a later date!

That's what many small firms do. Simply close, and then the operators start up a "new" business that is in no way affiliated (except for the names of the people in charge) with the old business. This happens all the time in the business world.

Note about class action lawsuits. 68,000 litigants have little or no recourse now because the matter has been litigated. However, how many of those good folks were notified that they could "opt out" of the class action? - then they would still have the right to bring their own individual lawsuit.

Folks need to think about their situation very carefull when joining any class action lawsuit.

Class action lawsuits usually are the scammer's best friend.

In this case, JK Harris has prevented 68,000 victims from filing lawsuits against them as their claims have now been litigated. If JK Harris actually coughs up all the money, the best the victims can hope for is six cents on the dollar. And on top of that, JK Harris gets to pay off on an installment plan. So if you were a victim you may get six percent of your loss four years from now.

Remember this case the next time someone on the Ripoff Report suggest filing a class action lawsuit.

here I am again, yes it has been months and from my previous postings ....if you read them....I won through small claims court. BUT..in NH..not that easy. The thing is ..and maybe all states are different. When I won, to "claim" my money and bring these people to court....I needed "proof" that the sales person and monica actually signed the certified letter. well....GOOD JOB there JK Harris, cuz no sales person stays long enough at a place to do that...hmm kindof like a "dead beat dad" huh? and thats who I feel like I am dealing with. Its ok though JK...just like a "dead beat dad".they eventually get caught, and I am not giving up.
