Does anyone have any experience with Mr. Champion?

He's on the right track.

A testimonial I found from someone named CW.
http://www.losthorizons.com/Forum/_disc5/00000310.htm

"I would not recommend Dave Champion to anyone. He'll take your
money but will not deliver the goods. Beleive me, I know first hand.
Says he's sooo busy he just can't find the time to earn the cash
money I sent him ($100) for a letter to an entity regarding re-issuing
1099-Misc correctly. It also cost me $150 for a one hour phone consultation fee of
which 30 minutes was used, but I'm not griping about that except it was
a total waste of time and money. I'm ashamed to even admit this.
I do have emails confirming his receipt of my money and his BS afterwards.
Dave Champion is strictly on an Ego trip and is full of it far as I'm concerned!"

Thanks for the info on Dave Champion. I had been exchanging emails with him concerning which employers he has successfully stopped withholding. Failing at getting an employer to stop withholding is one thing, but not providing a service as promised is another.

SF, my guess is that you paid Dave Champion some pretty big money to do things for you. He has been known to only respond to the "big money" clients, but he will take the money from all of us "little guys and then avoid us. Don't count on him in a pinch.

I always cringe when people mention Dave Champion as a possible "help". My experience with him is exactly what CW descibes to the letter. He is entirely out for himself. I also paid him money which he acknowledged receiving and then I never heard from him again. Funny, he returned my phone call and email when I was wanting to schedule a call ($150/hour-he also rounds partial hours up) and sign all the documents for him to do a letter for me but as soon as he got my money I never was able to get ahold of him again. That's been over 2 years ago. He needs to earn the reputation he deserves.

I wish that more people would comment on service providers that they have had experience with... that is what this section is for.

If we can help folks avoid putting out property (notice I didn't say "money") and getting nothing in return... then we have accomplished a great deal.

That was me who posted this comment. I had been lurking around Pete Hendrickson's forum trying to get a feel for his "CTC" process and when the subject of withholding came up, I mentioned Dave Champion who allegedly deals with employer withholding issues. I had exchanged a few emails with Dave asking him about his degree of success concerning getting employers to stop withholding.

He basically told me that as the size of the company goes down, the chances of stopping the withholding go up. I then asked him about some specific companies that I could potentially work for in my particular field, but he didn't elaborate any further.

I did ask him about ADP, since they seem to be processing a lot of companies' payrolls these days (I used to work for a company that used ADP), and he said at first they will claim they can't or won't stop withholding, but will do so when you confront them with the law. So if anyone on this forum is currently working for a company that uses ADP, you may be in luck.
