Once I thought that was straight, they began to add amounts to the loan. They continued to try and repossess the vehicle.

Anthony charges $350 for any and all tax returns which is extremely high cost. He did my tax return…read moreover email since I couldn't meet him in person because he bought out my former CPA's business and he's over an hour away from me. I called him and asked him to also do my boyfriend's tax return and we have a son together so we wanted to know what scenarios would be best for us which is obviously a normal question to ask your tax preparer. He forgot to file anmendment for last year's return when he said he would, when my PMI was left off a form intentionally by my bank because they weren't sure whether tax laws allowed people to deduct PMI then sent it after i already filed my taxes. Anthony told me in writing he'd amend it and then forgot as he always "forgets" since he is very unorganized and obviously too busy to spend the appropriate time with each customer. He said "your tax return has obviously been filed after your initial review. If there are errors I will of course correct the returns." He said of course but didn't file my amendment for last year! Then he goes on to say "If you had all theses questions which need answers you should have set up an appt (or call) so we could have discussed before any return was filed." I did call him and email him to ask him specifically if he could run these scenarios and he told me he'd do my boyfriend's tax return and obviously just said yes to appease me and get the new business. He goes on to say "It is difficult to have these email barrages and try to keep track of all the questions and answers, especially projections of filing a joint married return when you are not married. Arrange a time to call and I will gladly answer your questions but I will not continue the email confusion. You should know that our minimum fee is now $350 for any return and it is only because of your relationship to John that your and RJ fee is low. It is not our job to continue to run alternatives scenarios in the normal process of doing a return." It's not a tax preparers job to run different scenarios!? If you're thinking of using Anthony to do your tax returns, RUN! He's overpriced and not customer focused or friendly and dumps his work on his son Nick who also dropped the ball and filed our taxes two weeks after we sent them. My boyfriend used to pay his CPA less than $100 and sat down for half hour to do his return and it was done that day. I convinced him to use Anthony because he promised he'd run these scenarios but he lied to get the business and charged him $200 and me $250 and now i gotta pay this guy $450 of my hard earned money when he didn't do the job he promised. Finally he ends his email reply (after months of asking the same questions with literally no response until now) "We of course try to provide quality service but sometimes things do not go smoothly and I apologize for that." This guy is all over the place and I wouldn't trust him with something as important as your tax return. Also his secretary mailed my tax return back to me with full social security written on it and I never got it. It was "lost" in the mail and I've had attempts at my identity being stolen since. Just an overall terrible experience and I'm sorry I ever had him do any of my returns and hope to prevent these same issues from happening to anyone else!

I've been dealing with this office for a few years. They're usually good, being that I don't really…read morecall or ask for much, but if I could give them 0 stars right now I would. I have 6 different policies with this office. I called them to add a new homeowner's policy back in August. I got a quote which we spoke about for 2 days strait and adjusted limits and so on and I gave the rep on the phone a credit card to process the premium for 6 months. I explained that there is no escrow for the insurance and that I would be paying out of pocket. Everything was accepted and he emailed me the quote from underwriting. I called regarding a different matter a couple of days ago and then asked about paying the upcoming payment for my homeowner's policy only to find out that they never processed the premium payment and that the policy was not started. She originally said the bank didn't send the payment, I said there was no escrow and that I personally gave a card to use. I do not check my statements because I have a ton of transactions on them but I spoke to the rep at that office a few times over a two-day period and he said that everything was taken care of. The owner of the office couldn't do anything except tell me that she "understands how I feel" and when I pushed for a resolution she said she would contact underwriting and the answer is that there is nothing that they can do. I don't blame underwriting. I blame the incompetency out of this office. Not only am I without insurance for the past 6 months, and that this will definitely cause an issue for me in the future, but her office never started a policy that they would've also made a commission on. This is absolutely unacceptable!
