The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office has filed a lawsuit in opposition to a Cambria County contractor, alleging the organisation was paid more than $10,000, but simplest completed half of the work it promised on the roof of a purchaser’s home.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced Thursday that his Bureau of Consumer Protection filed 35 prison actions in 17 counties statewide concerning home improvement contractors as a part of a statewide domestic improvement initiative that started in October and targeted contractors’ compliance with the state’s Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (HICPA).
Home development contractors are required to register with the Bureau of Consumer Protection biannually under HICPA.
Shapiro stated that a Cambria County purchaser became scammed after stepping into a
$6,seven-hundred contract with Gillin Construction to repair their roof in September 2018, and paid a $4,000 down fee to start the work.
Aaron Gillin, doing business as Gillin Construction, is accused of leaving the house unfinished after ripping the shingles off the roof.
The patron told the legal profession, Fashionable’s workplace, Gillin again to invite for extra money, however, now not working on the roof. Leaking from the incomplete roof induced $,500,500 of damage within the home, Shapiro’s launch says.
