I am a victim of these crooks and im trying to build a case against them to get back my money and to maybe even aid in shutting them down.

I worked briefly for JK Harris and can tell you that they are very unethical and dishonest people, particularly JK Harris Tax Resolution national sales manager Bob Harris and JK Harris Financial Recovery Systems VP Brian. During my training I was instructed to charge as much as possible for our services, ragardless of the amount of work involved. The over riding guideline for how much to charge was the maximum amount that I determined the client had or could get. In their effort to close the client and pump up their commissions and bonuses, successful reps resorted to intimidating potential clients with horror stories ( all fictional ) of IRS seizures and potential jail time. These activities were all done with the full knowledge and I assume blessing of the firms field sales management.
The Financial Recovery Systems division was a complete scam run by an immature ego maniac who was fond of berating and humiliating potential clients who didn't have a retainer with them at their "free consultation". Reps were encouraged by this ego maniac to use vague and misleading statements to lead clients to believe that all of their financial problems could be easily wiped away without harm to their credit rating if they only would sign up with us.
Ragional sales managers trained reps to use deceptive practices to get clients to sign up, including telling the client that thiers was "the worst case that they had ever seen" and that "although the IRS rarely puts anyone in jail any longer for not filing a tax return, technically they still can"
I was terminated by JK Harris because my sales figures were not up to company standards, standards which required unethical and dishonest behavior, standards that I would not keep. Even though losing this job caused me significant financial harm, I am happy and relieved to be dis associated with this highly unethical firm.
