Momax Builders Ripoff The only thing competent about this builder is lying cheating and stealing Northbrook Illinois

I signed a contract and handed over a check to Luke Rosalind from Momax for 40% of the cost of the contract. I do believe at the time I signed the check and gave it to Luke, he knew the company was in trouble.

Like all of the people who have filled out a report on Momax, I was made promises that the job would start "next week". Next week went on into a month, 2 months, 3 months ... it now has been 6 months.

I was told by an "employee" of the company that Fred hasn't been paying his people, that the cabinets for my kitchen were "in" and had been "in" for months. The problem was that Fred didn't have enough money to get them out of some warehouse. I went through the process of sending a certified letter to have Fred refund my money. After 2 weeks of that, I went to a lawyer.

I filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office and received a letter from the stating that they felt this was a Better Business Bureau issue and they weren't going to proceed.

I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and said that I wanted to start arbitration. I received a letter last week stating that they sent a letter to the company and was awaiting his response.

My lawyer said "It sounds like this guy doesn't have any money to refund your money. Why throw good money after bad? You could get a judgement against him, but if the money isn't there, what will you gain?"

I am not sure where to go now.
