View all 138 complaintsLiberty Tax Service - fraud/deceit/theft
I worked as a tax preparer for Liberty Tax Service at the Sumner Ave store from January - April of 2008. At the end of the tax season Maribel Rodriguez purchased the Springfield and a Chicopee Franchise Territory.
Ms. Rodriguez has only one tax season for experience and needed additional help to open a second store in the Chicopee MA location. She presented me with an "opportunity" to become a partner owner of the Chicopee MA store located at 425 East Street.
Ms. Rodriguez drew up a generic Partnership Contract stating that I would be entitled to 50% of the profits. I invested approximately $5, 000.00 and several months of my time.
I worked without getting paid for several months and than 1 week before our first customer walked in the door she locked me out and refuses to pay me the money I "invested".
Ms. Rodriguez deceitfully, fraudulantly and illegally extorted money from me for the purpose of her own personal gain and obtained free labor at my expense. She refuses to return my investment and pay me for my time. She refuses to take my or my attorney phone calls.
I contacted Liberty Tax Corporate Office and was advised that they would not help me concerning this matter.
Is Ms. Rodriguez and/or Liberty Tax Service someone you can trust? I think not.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
BTW, Maribel, I'm not going to accept your friend request on Facebook. You think I'm crazy?
Anyone needs proof of Maribel's illegal activity, let me know. Have copies of everything. Emails, threats, promises, paperwork, illegal doings with the IRS, etc... Maribel, you want to see it? lol!
Maribel is a liar. She doesn't pay her employees as agreed, and she has this problem wherever she goes. She owes my Wife a few thousand in unpaid wages and bonuses. She never paid.
hi. Again, i'm Ms Sue. What is it with you? don't you have some business of your own to occupy your time? i'm really tired of you sticking your nose in mine. why don't you speak to me in person instead of spreading rumor and innuendo re: something about which you know absolutely nothing. if you want to talk personally please feel free to call me at work [protected] or on my cell phone [protected]. otherwise, stay out of my life!
I think Sue is getting something extra from her..lol...or its not sue at all..nobody waits for their money more than a reasonable period of time, and first person to say they do are liars..lol..truth is what it is..have a nice day:)
hi, i'm Sue and i'd like to set the record straight. i have other sources of income and was not dependent on this job to pay my bills. i VOLUNTEERED to defer my pay for a year so that others could be reimbursed since many others were in more desperate financial straits than me. It was purely MY choice and over Maribel's strenuous objections. i have since been paid EVERYTHING owed to me. Yes, i still work here. i have the utmost respect for Maribel and can vouch for her personal and business integrity. it's a shame a few people tried to cheat her out of so many (outrageous) hours of pay and then blame HER when it didn't work out. i thoroughly enjoy working for her and hope to stay in this job for many years. please feel free to contact me here at any time.
If Sue still works there ;)
Also, I know she asked other employees to wait until this tax season to get paid since she couldn't pay them last season. Ask Sue...
I can post attachments of proof, if needed for anything I mention.
Potential Zee is an employee, IMO
Nice Try Though
