According to Jani-King advertising by being the # one Franchise for the last twenty years, Finally, I bought their franchise for $ 31,112.50, the highest what were they offering, plus $ 2,000 worth of equipment that I bought from them, where they were supposed to grant me $ 10,000 worth of monthly business within the first 330 days.

I spent three weeks in their training class while they were bragging and promising about how goos is the Jani-King Franchise.

It has been almost a year, the only monthly business they have offered me is $ 698.00 and nothing else,in which I refused because,it was such a redicilous offer.

They have been trying to avoid me like they have avoided the other franchisees, so the franchisees will give up and forget about the business.

That's how they do their business.

They do have problems in getting new contracts, but, the franchisees are the ones who are suffering. They are in a such state od desperation, they even start lying by claiming that they already have offered me the full amount they were supposed to offer, but, there is no proof.

All I need from them is to give me my money back, because, the money I paid for the franchise was borrowed from my home line of credit which I am still paying for it.

Jani King Ripoff!

AUTHOR: Sucker In Nova Scotia - (Canada)

POSTED: Thursday, January 10, 2008

I was a hard working employee for Jani King who offered me a fully financed franchise, knowing full well I had no skills to run a business. They were to deal with the remittances to rev can, wcb ei & cpp as they had full control of the money when it came in-$13,000.00 per month. I never had a 'dealer day'.

I was paid on regualr paydays with the crew for the hours I worked. And, I worded about 2-3 hundred hours per month-expected to fill in for absences, work weekends & holidays, repair bad work of other employees, comp areas of the building as well as handling a cleaning shift. They kept telling me head office was handling the financial aspects of the biz but i kept getting angry letters of non payment from the government who did not recieve their remittances. If I had been issued cheques on dealer day I would have paid the debt, but they kept that money and paid me more like an hourly waged person. By the end of Dec/07 I got a "failure to file" noticeand passed in a copy to the man who was supposed to be paying these bills out of the money Jani King recieved from the contracts they leased me.

Rather than pay the debt which had built to over $10,000.00 in six months, they terminated my leases, declaired the money I earned for hourly wages on payday (not dealer day) was earmarked for revenue canada and that means I worked for virtually nothing! Now, even the 108+ hours I workrd over xmas are being denied me by Jani King as thier song is I'm the biz owner and everything is my responsibility.

I didn't even write a required competency test to determine my eligability to run a franchise!Those people have lied to me, and damaged my rep, they terminated my leases simply to get out of paying the remittances they failed to file. They never gave me a dime on dealer day and subjected me to an hourly waged possition putting in 2-3 hundred hours per month, lied about the financial aspects and threw me out.

I'm no accountant, but I can see that if 70-80+ thousand dollars went to Jani KIng and since they had control over the money, except the funds they released on employee paydays than if I am in fact going to get stuck owing the remittances they failed to file, I was in fact working day and night sometimes 7 days per week including doubleshifts for about $1.75 per hour.
