Small claims court or prosecutor?
Long story short, I filed a complaint with the BBB of Chicago about a "loss mitigation" company that defrauded me out of $1500. The complaint went unanswered and the BBB recommended I should contact Cook Co. small claims.
The question I have is a two-part one. First, I live in another state and travelling to IL to pursue this is going to be difficult at best. Can I file this claim in my own county's small claims court, seeing that I was a resident here when I contracted with the Chicago company? And secondly, should I first pursue this through either the IL or OH (my home state) attorney general's office instead? I believe what this company did was knowingly and willfully criminal in defrauding me.
I need some info on the next step in this process and any help would be greatly appreciated!

You may not have to go to another state to file your complaint. It depends, and it takes some real lawyer work here but if that company does enough business in your area (some other requirements need to be met) then your state may have jurisdiction over them.
Even if you do file a civil complaint, you should still contact their state's attorney general. You can do both. A criminal prosecution doesn't effect your civil law suit.

You have to go to IL for court, but try to do as much of it as possible over the phone or through the mail.
