Hi, I signed a contract with a local roofing company in 2021, and the contract specified 16 work items. The roofing company sent me the certificate of final complete, which certified that all 16 listed items were completed per code requirement, and the contract end date is September 3, 2021, the remaining balance is due by October 3, 2021. I did a partial inspection with help of a Illinois License Roof Company, the inspection showed that at least 4 items were uncompleted. The contractor attorney sued me in County Circuit Court for the remaining balance. I am planning to do followings; 1. File counterclaim to get deposit and additional costs ( legal fee, inspection fee, court filing fee) back from the contractor. 2. The reason for Item above is The contractor violated (815 ILCS 505/) Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. (815 ILCS 505/2Q) (c) A person engaged in the business of home repair, as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Home Repair Fraud Act, who fails or refuses to commence or complete work under a contract or an agreement for home repair, shall return the down payment and any additional payments made by the consumer within 10 days after a written demand sent to him by certified mail by the consumer or the consumer's legal representative or by a law enforcement or consumer agency acting on behalf of the consumer. What comments do you have for my plan? Thanks for your help.
