Illinois AG Sues Contractor For Allegedly Performing Shoddy Work

From the Illinois Attorney General's Office:

• [Illinois] Attorney General Lisa Madigan [yesterday] filed a lawsuit in Madison County Circuit Court alleging that an Alton contractor collected approximately $27,000 in down payments for home improvement work that he failed to perform or completed in a substandard manner. Madigan's suit, against Gary Delp of River Bend Building and Contracting ... in Alton, stems from complaints that five consumers made to the Attorney General's Consumer Fraud Bureau. The consumers alleged that Delp entered into verbal contracts to install sewer lines and other home improvements. According to the consumers' complaints, Delp collected down payments ranging from $2,500 to $2,900 and then allegedly failed to perform the work or conducted the work in a substandard manner.
