Jason Duggar’s Legal Woes Continues After Being Accused of Fraud.

Jason Duggar

Lawsuit

A recently filed lawsuit against former ’19 Kids and Counting’ star claims he lied about having contractor’s license. The lawsuit accuses a former reality TV star Jason Duggar of pretending to have a contractor's license and failing to complete work on a home for a Benton County man.

Fayetteville attorney Andrew Myers initiated a lawsuit on Monday in Benton County Circuit Court against Madison Holding and Jason Duggar, who is one of the sons of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. The Duggar family gained prominence through the television series "19 Kids and Counting" and "Counting On." The complaint alleges that Mark Thompson entered into a contract to acquire a residence in Bella Vista from Madison Holding, with Duggar serving as the contractor.

Contractor's License

It is asserted in the lawsuit that Duggar claimed to possess a contractor's license; however, the Arkansas Contractor's Licensing Board reportedly does not have any record of such a license. The complaint further contends that Duggar may not be operating under a legitimate contractor's license. Both Duggar and Madison are accused of fraud, negligence, breach of contract, and breach of warranties in the lawsuit. According to the complaint, the contract stipulated that 22 items were to be repaired within a 30-day timeframe, yet after 11 months, many of these repairs remain incomplete.

The legal action alleges that Duggar failed to finish the work in the master bathroom and a bedroom, and that the installation of sod remains incomplete. Additionally, the complaint asserts that the crown molding in the upper level of the residence requires repair, along with various roofing issues that need resolution.

Duggar acknowledged the roofing problems

In April or May and indicated that they would be addressed, as stated in the complaint. Nevertheless, in late May, Duggar proposed that Thompson cover the costs for another party to complete the necessary repairs rather than proceeding with the ongoing work, according to the complaint.

Fulfilled Obligations

The lawsuit contends that Thompson fulfilled his obligations under the contract, which included closing on and paying for his home, while Madison and Duggar have not met their contractual responsibilities by failing to complete the required repairs. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages to be determined at trial, which encompasses the costs associated with the repairs and Thompson's attorney fees and expenses.

Today, K1 Discovery, 19 Kids and Counting, and Counting On.

The case is assigned to Benton County Judge Christine Horwart.
