Leather Attractions is a RIP OFF!!!

In February of 2009, I ordered a pair of leather pants to wear at a special occasion in early March (a concert). A full month went by and no pants were delivered. Then, I receive an email

from someone at the company named Edd Ally asking for more information about sizing the pants to fit and how they'd been trying to send me email but they haven't gone through. I responded immediately asking that my order be canceled and my money refunded as the concert had come and gone already and I no longer needed the pants. Upon doing this, their communication with me completely ceased. No email, no phone calls, no nothing! They had charged my credit card $157 and I had nothing to show for it. I tried repeatedly for months to contact them via email, telephone and postal mail with no response whatsoever! Their phone number

rings a couple times and then goes to a voice mail system that is always full and won't accept any more messages! I filed a complaint with the Chicago Area BBB who also failed to receive a response and closed the case as unresponsive. I filed a complaint with my credit card company for a "charge back" and the result was that it was denied due to the company not responding. The BBB has numerous complaints listed for this company and has them rated as an "F". I wish I'd known that before I attempted to do business with them. These guys are total rip offs! Do not make the same mistake I did! Keep your hard earned money in your pocket. I have nothing to show for this except being out $157 and allot of aggravation! Buyer beware!!! DO NOT do business with LeatherAttractions.com

The last person's comment is total BS! Their comments are the ones that are fishy! I made the complaint and I stick by it. I tried in vein to communicate with them in every way possible, by phone, by mail, by email and nothing! No response! Who operates a business without a voice telephone? Hogwash! The second commenter said there was no business storefront located at that address. That speaks volumes right there. Don't do business with these jokers! You'll be sorry! Google this, you will find more complaints besides mine!

I cannot say whether this company is a rip-off but they claim to have a showroom and when I drove to the address online, 8820 Skokie Blvd. Skokie, IL. There is no such address. It doesn't exist.

That is a bad sign. Deceptive to say the least.

I have done business with them since 2006...they were honest and efficient. But, made to order takes time. Our jackets, very difficult to size, were fabulous. I checked with the BBB before using them...no complaints..I just checked again after reading your message, which was a surprise, as I am getting ready to order a coat...they have one complaint from 2009..I spoke to them on the phone readily..but they do not have a call number, only a fax..they will call you, however, if you email them your phone number..I suspect you were calling the fax number...they have a right not to refund your money after a certain amount of time//you didn't hear from them as you were not using proper channels to do so. Did you write to them or fax them? Also interesting you should say your credit card would not refund because of no response..that is highly unusual...usually credit cards do just the opposite or go to arbitration.if the BBB has many complaints..I think you are angry because you screwed up. Your story is a little fishy.
