    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct::
    Commonwealth of PA v. Willowdale Creative, LLC
    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 August 11, 2022, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection (BCP) announced the filing of a lawsuit against Huntsman Farms, LLC, Willowdale Creative Group, LLC, and its owner for allegedly violating the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law.  Specifically, the suit alleges these parties failed to deliver products or services as promised for which consumers contracted and paid; failed to directly refund consumers who purchased products; failed to properly and timely respond to refund requests made by consumers; delivered products that were defective, incomplete or installed in a shoddy manner; and were unresponsive to consumers repeated attempts to contact them. 

    The complaint seeks a permanent injunction against the defendants from continuing to engage in any deceptive or illegal business practices, civil penalties, full restitution, disgorgement, and costs of the investigation. The BCP also advises consumers who have been affected by these companies to contact the attorney general's office at 800-441-2555 or www.attorneygeneral.gov.
    Alert:
    In 2021, the BBB initiated an investigation on the business after receiving an increase in complaints from consumers related to the firm's business practices. 

    Specifically, the complaints alleged the company charged consumers for products that were never delivered, failed to provide refunds/credits when appropriate, and failed to address the concerns of consumers who contacted its customer service department after placing an order. The firm failed to respond to the BBB’s request to address the underlying issues and correct its practices to eliminate the influx of complaints. The BBB encourages consumers to review the customer complaints provided in this BBB Business Profile.

    Additionally, on August 6, 2021, as part of the BBB's investigation, the BBB requested information from the company regarding its contact information, terms & conditions, refund, exchange, and delivery policies, licensing documents, and information on its owners. The company failed to respond to the BBB inquiry and did not submit the aforementioned information as requested.

    Consumers are advised to contact their credit card company to dispute any charges for non-receipt of ordered products, and their local government Consumer Protection Office.

    Complaint Type:
    Product Issues
    Status:
    BBB unable to locate business
    In May of 2021, I saw a Memorial Day sale ad for an outdoor playset on ********* Clicking the link took me to Willowdale Group Creative's website where I chose to purchase the Beach Front Play Set at a massive discount (confirmation email attached). I did see that the item would be shipping internationally and it wasn't expected to ship until August 2021 so I was expecting to receiving it late summer. When I hadn't received it by August, I located the confirmation email and tried to check the status of the order. Unfortunately I continued to receive error/firewall messages. I finally reached someone by messaging their ******** page and they said that it was in transit and likely taking longer due to the pandemic and the fact that it was shipping from China. When I still hadn't heard anything or received the item by October, I contacted my bank (***** *****) and disputed the charge. Unfortunately, they notified me that too much time had passed between ordering the item and submitting the claim, and it was denied. I reached out to Willowdale one more time (responding to the confirmation email) giving them a last chance to respond before my filing this claim with BBB. I also cc'd the marketing individual who was noted in my original confirmation email. Their response is attached; they were just a marketing firm hired by an individual to help with advertising website and they have nothing to do with the actual company. They have also been unable to contact the individual responsible and are currently seeking compensation from a legal standpoint. At this point, all I want is a refund of my money. Please advise.
