More than a year ago, we attended an appointment at the local JK Harris office. We filled out all of the financial forms and handed over all of our IRS information.

First of all we NEVER were informed that we would be dealing only with someone over a thousand miles away. The lady we spoke with in the local office clearly indicated that we would be going there/dealing with them locally.

Second, we gave a down payment, and then have faithfully and timely made subsequent monthly payments (a lot of money).

To date (07/13/2007) we have received NOTHING, except monthly statements from their finance company.
Notwithstanding the fact that we (previously) have acknowledgement from them and their finance company that they had received our new contact information; in May, 2007, we received a phone call from a quite unpleasant "Case Specialist" representative stating that nothing had been done because they had been corresponding with at our former (up to July, 2006) address. This woman (Sanicqua Jackson) acknowledged that they had done nothing for us by blaming us for not communicating so they would be able to do something for us.

We cancelled the monthly payments; closed our account and requested a full (because they did nothing for us) refund. Just now (07/13/2007 @4:00 PM) I phoned about our refund and was transferred to a recorded message which discusses, due to a pending lawsuit, the delay in our refund. I further was told that our "settlement amount" was/is less than half of what they took/stole from us.

What kind of a business preys upon folks who already are struggling with the IRS? This is theft of the first order and these people should be stopped.

We do not want to wait for the settlement of a lawsuit; we want all of our money back NOW!

JK Harris Class Action Lawsuit Settled!!! Fantastic News !!!! Plaintiffs collect!!!! Charleston, SC

AUTHOR: Thomas - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Fantastic News from Charleston, SC !!!!

Reported in the Anderson Independent Mail, Business Section, Pg 1D on Wed, 18 July 2007:

A judge has approved a $6,000,000 settlement of a class action lawsuit against a South Carolina based company.... i.e. JK Harris & Co.

*******Summary*******

About 58,000 'people' will collect an average of $69 'EACH'!

This settlement "is judged adequate in the sense that it is the largest amount the defendent can pay without risking bankruptcy".... awww, geee......

Let's see:

58,000 people times $69/person = $4,002,000. total ....

So the legal system collects $1,998,000.

One OP had paid $110/month times 9 months = $990

Therefore, someday, that OP may get ($69)/($990) = 0.07 or 7% of his money back....??

The $6,000,000 is paid into a fund over 4 years, so some 'people' 'MIGHT' collect 1.75% per year. Unless, of course, the legal system is supposed to collect its $1,998,000. FIRST, meaning the victims will have to wait 16 months before they see ANY of their whopping $69 settlements!

WOW! Another victoriously successful class action lawsuit !! I only get 5% from the bank! Every year!
