(KNZA)--A Missouri asphalt and paving company has been ordered to pay nearly $25,000 in restitution for door-to-door sales violations in Doniphan County.
In a consent judgment entered last week in Doniphan County District Court, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Judge John Weingart ordered I.G. Construction to repay a total of $24,500 to three individuals.
In addition, the company was ordered to pay $6,000 in civil penalties for violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.
Schmidt said the court found the company was engaging in door-to-door sales but failing to provide consumers with notice of their three-day right to cancel and depositing payments from the three consumers without allowing requisite time for cancellation to pass in accordance with Kansas law.
As a part of the judgment, the company also agreed to comply with all Kansas consumer protection laws in the future.
Schmidt warns consumers to be especially cautious of door-to-door home repair sales that claim to offer a good deal.
“Consumers should be on the lookout for fly-by-night operations looking to make a quick buck,” Schmidt said. “Kansans who are in need of driveway repairs should seek local, reputable contractors and get multiple written estimates before having any work done.”
