The second unscrupulous player in the tax resolution business has been forced to shut its doors as a result of thousands of consumer complaints and several government investigations.

JK Harris Tax Resolution Firm Closes its Doors
Consumer Affairs, JK Harris Suspends Operations, Prepares to Liquidate: Tax-Preparation Firm Swamped by Consumer Complaints, Lawsuits:
Tax representation firm JK Harris & Co. has suspended operations, sent its employees home and is reported to be preparing to liquidate its assets.
The firm, the subject of hundreds of complaints to ConsumerAffairs.com over the years, has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings since October but has reportedly been unable to raise enough funding to continue operations.
“This is truly the most devastating event I have been forced to deal with in my 58 years on this earth,” CEO John K. Harris said in an email to employees as he apparently prepared to file for a Chapter 7 liquidation.
The firm won’t be mourned by many of the consumers who turned to it in their time of need.

Oh, no! Who are we going to watch at 2:30 in the morning when we have insomnia and we’re flipping through the cable channels?
