Business restructuring company in Osaka is instructed to stop work

The Consumer Affairs Agency ordered Osaka City's housing renovation company to suspend operations such as solicitations and contracts for 12 months as it repeatedly repeated solicitation of expensive construction work that was not necessary for those who requested housing inspections. It was.

The office maintenance order was received by the “Sakura Maintenance Studio”, a home improvement company in Osaka City.

According to the Consumer Affairs Agency, when repairing water pipes, this company actually only needs to replace parts, but “a considerable amount of water is leaking” or “the foundation becomes brittle even if it absorbs moisture. "It becomes a termite's nest," and so on.

In another house, there was a case where the construction of attaching insulation more than necessary to the attic was repeated many times.

For this reason, the Consumer Affairs Agency has ordered the company to suspend operations such as solicitations and contracts for 12 months because these actions violate the Specified Commercial Transaction Law.

According to the Consumer Affairs Agency, there were over 270 consultations about this company at consumer life centers nationwide, and some of them had contracts over 50 million yen in about a year. That is.

“Sakura Maintenance Kobo” told NHK, “We haven't received the document yet, so we would like to discuss with the lawyer if we receive the order document in the future.”
