Refunds for clients of defunct homebuilder

Did you pay a deposit to Equity Homes and then get neither the home built nor your money back? The state attorney general's office now has $460,000 from the homebuilder's bonding company in order to make refunds to consumers.

Virginia-based Equity, which was building in Montgomery and Prince George's counties, closed in 2008.

Contact the Consumer Protection Division at 410-576-6569 by Sept. 10 if you believe you're due a refund and have not already talked with officials there.
