A: There are many issues present in the facts provided, and you should absolutely consult with an attorney individually so you can obtain a comprehensive assessment of your case. It is apparent that the company is not taking you seriously, and likely will not until you obtain legal representation. Further, their are various statutes in Illinois that may provide you with additional remedies, and/or full reimbursement of costs and attorney's fees. I would highly recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation, including any and all correspondences with the company, and consult with an attorney individually as soon as possible. Many of us offer free consultations, so it will not cost you anything to obtain a professional's opinion that is tailored to the specific facts of your case.
