Illinois AG Sues Home Repair Contractors for Fraud

Two Chicago-area home repair contractors who promised lifetime guarantees are being sued for misleading customers.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court against Frank Edelmann and Lee Sobczak, both of La Grange Park.

The lawsuit alleges the defendants didn’t honor the lifetime guarantees promised in their advertising.

The defendants operated Concrete Charlie Inc., Concrete Repair Center Inc. and Ostarr Corporation of America.

The lawsuit seeks restitution for customers, fines and cancellation of pending contracts.

Madigan wants the court to prohibit the defendants from working in the home repair trade in Illinois.

Phone messages left for the defendants were not immediately returned.
