Unlicensed Contractor Scams Us ($130K): Can We Get Our Funds Back?
We have a situation where a “contractor” presented himself as licensed, bonded, etc. (We have an insurance claim)
He has taken over 130K of funds and states work to this amount has been done. This is a blatent lie. We also found out that he never pulled the correct permits and is not licensed. Our home is in shambles, I am 7 months pregnant and the city is doing inspections on the home today. (we just found out he did illegal electrical work).
We HAVE filed a complaint with the Attorney General regarding consumer fraud but believe there was criminal fraud done as well as items pertaining to the IL Construction / Homeowners act.
We do not know what type of attorney we should speak to in order to attempt to gain back the funds so that we can get our house up to code, safe and completed. We were looking @ Construction Attorneys as well as Consumer Fraud attorneys and didnt know which would be more beneficial.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Obviously this is just a small summary of our ordeal!) …..Thank you
