Hang on to that receipt, a recession has some customers fighting for a refund!
Simply Shutters in Theodore claims to have closed its doors because of the economy.
The store voicemail also says they plan to file for bankruptcy. The Better Business Bureau says so far two customers have lost around $4,000 worth of unfinished cabinet work.
The B.B.B. says around 60 businesses across Mobile County have gone bankrupt in the past six months.
Tina Waller says consumers should consider using credit rather than cash for their purchases.
"Most of the time that will give you some protection just because you have a recourse with your credit card company. If there's a charge on your credit card company and you do not receive their merchandise you could typically get your money back,"Said Waller.
The B.B.B. says you can always file a complaint with them. You can call the Mobile office at 251-433-5494.

Please let your viewers know that Simply Shutters was bought out seven years ago and that the founders of the company are not responsible for the current situation. We still live in the area and want folks to know the company changed hands.

Thank you,
