Client Reviews of Gary Schenk

I was recommended to this submit a complaint to the DCA about our tax accountant by an attorney from Mattleman, Weinroth and Miller in Cherry Hill NJ. We discovered that he is not a registered or CP accountant. I could not locate his PTIN credentials on the IRS website either. I wish to report unprofessional behavior and fraudulent billing practices by our former accountant (tax preparer), Gary Schenk of Mitchell's Booking Services in Mt. Laurel, NJ. My husband was a client of Gary Schenk for many years. Recently, Mr. Schenk had a dispute with my ex-husband with whom I share an adult daughter. In an attempt to gain payment from my EX husband for services they may or may not have agreed to (I have no financial information at all about my ex), Gary has lashed out against my daughter with ever-growing requests for payment for services never rendered. The range from $200 to $1000. There is no contract. There was no paperwork provided or agreement with Gary Schenk to be her 2024 tax preparer. Gary Schenk is threatening her with court for payment of bills for services that were never rendered or requested. He is also claiming that she defrauded the city of Philadelphia for unpaid city taxes. My daughter moved from New Jersey to Philadelphia in late April 2024. Her address is correct with her employer and her 2024 taxes have not yet been filed; therefore, no fraud has occurred. My husband elected to discontinue our client/accounting relationship with Gary Schenk upon learning of Gary's intentional harassment and bullying of our daughter. We were not comfortable with his behavior and no longer trusted him to act in our best interest. Mr. Schenk grew very angry and has now billed us for a $400 fee for informing him of our intention to sever our client relationship and change tax preparers for 2024 unless we continue to use his services. Furthermore, he is now threatening to sue me for $400 in small claims court for reasons that don't make sense. I have no professional relationship with Gary Schenk, no interest in using his services or having anything to do with him in any way and have never asked him to do anything. I have no idea what this $400 would be for, or how he imagines I owe him anything at all. Gary Schenk is now threatening my husband with $400 or more (the amounts keep changing) and court, for services he claimed he provided - which he did not. I have audio recordings of his threats to tie us up in court and drag it out as long as possible - as retribution for some slight - real or imagined - and try to intimidate my husband, my daughter and myself into paying him. I also have text messages, registered letters and USPS letters to my husband and my daughter. Both of whom are pursuing legal action if at all possible I believe Mr. Gary Schenk to be unstable, unreliable and untrustworthy.
