Aeroworks Sued by Illinois
A St. Marys firm that advises people on how to avoid mortgage foreclosure is being sued by the state of Illinois.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan contends Aeroworks LLC promised to keep people in their homes but instead took their money without any results.
She says Aeroworks sent out more than 1,000 mailings a week to homeowners offering help in keeping their homes and urging them to avoid dishonest scams, adding that the company charged homeowners more than $1,000 for counseling and home rescue services that were rarely successful.
Madigan says she wants Aeroworks to be shut down and fined. The lawsuit also seeks a civil penalty of $50,000 for every violation, and a $10,000 penalty for each violation committed against a person 65 years or older.
Aeroworks officials say the lawsuit has no merit.
