Florida AG sues Broward recovery company - South Florida Business Journal:
..... Florida’s attorney general has sued a Broward County company that charged customers money upfront to help them recovery money from a timeshare resale company, but failed to deliver promised services.
JB’s Omega Tours Corp., which does business as Recovery Resources, and owner Joshua Baillie are named in the lawsuit.
It is alleged that Baillie contacted previous customers of Vacation Property Trader, a company by Bill McCollum’s office investigated in January 2009 for potentially unfair business practices. In May, VPTI entered into an agreement with McCollum’s office to resolve complaints.
According to the lawsuit, filed Thursday, Recovery Resources claimed to be working with the attorney general’s office to help in recovery efforts.
Consumers reported that, after they made payments to Baillie, they were unable to contact the company and never received their money back.
McCollum’s office has been granted an injunction against Recovery Resources, preventing it from representing itself as having an association with his office.
The lawsuit also asks that consumers received restitution and that a permanent injunction preventing Recovery Resources and Baillie from continuing to do business.
According to state records, JB’s Omega Tours was incorporated in June. Its address is listed as Pompano Beach. Efforts to reach the company were not immediately successful.......................
