Rhode Island Consumer Protection News

State Shuts Down Unlicensed Moving And Warehousing Company

A Kenilworth-based moving and warehousing company that continued to operate after it failed to renew its annual license and also failed to revise its business practices as required under a 2005 Consent Order with the state has been shut down under a Final Order of Discipline.

The Division of Consumer Affairs, which licenses moving and warehousing companies through its Regulated Business Section, found that Just in Time Moving & Delivery Service Inc. and its owner, Haliru M. Gusau, made misrepresentations and failed to comply with registration requirements.

Twenty-eight consumers have retrieved goods stored by Just in Time at 135 North Michigan Avenue, Kenilworth, New Jersey. A Superior Court Judge has ordered that any consumer goods not removed from the warehouse by May 18, 2007 will be deemed abandoned and disposed of appropriately. Read more at state.nj.us.
