School Owner Sued

Indiana -- Customers claim a martial arts school owner failed to give them refunds after the business closed, and now the owner is facing a civil lawsuit.

The State Attorney General has brought the action forward to the owner of the martial arts business, which had studios in Hamilton and Boone counties, according to indystar.com.

19 former customers are reportedly listed in the lawsuit and the owner is said to have used long-term contracts, ranging from $2,900 to $5,760, with them. Furthermore, many customers paid up to $2,210 in additional program fees.

According to reports, this is not the first time the studio owner has been accused of misleading customers. In 2006, the State Attorney General filed a lawsuit, and the owner agreed to refund $20,000 to Mishawaka customers.
