The owners of a company said they were baited by the agency and pleaded ignorance when told they did not have a proper license.
– May generally kicks off moving season in the Midwest. State regulators recently conducted a bust to crack down on illegal movers.
When drivers arrived, the only item they picked up was a citation with a $750 fine. The bust was for not having what's called a household goods license. "Anytime you're gonna move someone for compensation within the State of Illinois, you need to register and you need to get licensed," said Matt Hart, executive director of the Illinois Mover's and Warehouseman's Association.. Hart said getting a household goods license requires proof of insurance."If someone is injured on your property during a move and there's no insurance, that could potentially come back on the consumer," she said.
