KENTON — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced a lawsuit Wednesday against a Lakeview home improvement contractor accused of failing to deliver promised services to consumers in several northwest Ohio counties.
The lawsuit accuses Kelly E. Lange, individually and doing business as KL Topsoil Property Maintenance, of multiple violations of Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act.
According to the lawsuit, Lange advertised on Craigslist and through a local circular, “The County Classifieds,” offering various home improvement goods or services, including property clean-up, household moving and hauling, and demolition of houses and barns.
At least five consumers filed complaints with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and Better Business Bureau reporting an average loss of $1,100.
Consumers from Hardin, Auglaize, Wyandot and Allen counties have filed complaints, though additional consumers may be affected.
A copy of the lawsuit is available on the Ohio Attorney General’s website.
