- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:State of Ohio v JUCO LLC, and Jimmie L. Wells Jr. individually and dba Five Star Painting and dba Fine Line Imaging 22CV003511
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government’s allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On May 24, 2022, the Ohio Attorney General's Office filed a civil lawsuit in Franklin County Common Pleas Court against defendants JUCO, LLC and Jimmie L. Wells, Jr. individually, and doing business as Five Star Painting and Fine Line Imaging, and the state maintains that Wells did business under the trade names Fine Line Imaging and JUCO, a limited liability company (LLC), and states that Wells also did business under the name of Five Star Painting, and, while there is a Five Star Painting registered to someone else with the Ohio Secretary of State, Wells had no relation to the registered company.
The state alleges that Wells sold home-improvement goods and services to consumers in several Ohio counties, accepted deposits but, in some cases, failed to deliver or make a full refund, and that when Wells did perform work, it was shoddy and he failed to correct it, and that he failed to inform consumers of their right to cancel their transactions, in violation of the Consumer Sales Practices Act and the Home Solicitation Sales Act.
The state is asking that the court to order the defendants to pay damages to all consumers injured, impose a civil penalty of up to $25,000 for each violation, and prohibit the defendants from engaging in consumer transactions in Ohio until they satisfy any monetary obligations ordered to paid in the matter.
The matter is pending, according to the information we have as of May 27, 2022.
