Jackson Hewitt To Refund Fees For Serve Card Users


Jackson Hewitt To Refund Fees For Serve Card Users
The Issue
Jackson Hewitt is KNOWN for preying on those who are financially insecure all in the name of making a quick buck. They are also known for extremely high tax preparation fees (my fees totaled around $800 this year.)
We have been begging Jackson Hewitt, through social media, corporate and any means possible to give us SOME clarity about the Stimulus funds. Lies and false hope were all we were given.
"HAPPY EASTER!" proclaims their social media as thousands and thousands of customers plea "please just tell us something!"
JH tax preppers say "we don't know anything" while we hear CRICKETS from corporate.
Serve says "oh, yeah, we heard some stuff about a stimulus, go ahead and order a new card?"
and Republic Bank clearly doesn't want to touch us with a ten-foot pole (unless the government would allow them to deduct a $49.99 fee from our stimulus money.)
THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY OF THE BACKS OF OUR SUFFERING AND WE CAN NO LONGER ALLOW THIS.
They are all in each others pockets, working hard 4 months every year to lead us to slaughter, and it gets worse year after year after year.
According to a report by the National Consumer Law Center, "consumers paid an estimated $738 million in RAL fees in 2008 to get quick cash for their refunds – essentially borrowing their own money, sometimes at extremely high interest rates."
These predatory loans target people who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit: the working poor, in other words. <----THIS IS A KNOW FACT!!!
If there is EVER a time to come together- it's now.
Jackson Hewitt, make it right. REFUND the fees paid for the 2019 year for those of us who were given the serve card (for Republic to automatically deduct our fees/loans.)
In 2020, we want big businesses to know that we SEE YOU and we are HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE.
