Ind. Gov't. - Database of Attorney General's consumer protection filings

The ILB has seen several items about this new database, but no direct links. Here is the intro:

Welcome to the online, searchable database of the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. We have created this tool to enhance citizens’ ability to further research legal actions the Attorney General’s Office has initiated against violators of Indiana’s consumer protection laws. For the first time, this office is making available an online, searchable database that contains the Attorney General’s legal actions filed in Indiana Courts and decisions from courts on those cases.

Until now, this public information was only available through requests made to the Consumer Protection Division or by contacting each court individually where cases have been filed. IndianaConsumer.com allows instant access to public filings and court orders that will assist you in making informed decisions about companies you may consider doing business with. We hope that you find this site useful.

Here is the database. You may either search by business name or county, or you may call up a list of ALL filings. The actual complaints, consent judgments, default judgments, etc. are also viewable.
