Attorney General Weighing Options Against Allcare Dental
WEST VIRGINIA....
West Virginia officials are considering options for dealing with consumer complaints about Allcare Dental and Dentures, a national dental chain that closed abruptly this week, citing financial problems. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Stonestreet says the attorney general's office hasn't decided what legal steps it will take against New York-based Allcare, but the state received about 40 complaints about Allcare before the shutdown and is bracing for more calls because of the closure. For now, Stonestreet says the agency is encouraging customers to attempt to retrieve records, and, if they paid by credit card, to dispute charges. He says the chief concern is people who've paid for work that hasn't been completed or even started.
