NEWARK – A Kenilworth-based moving and warehousing company that continued to operate after it failed to renew its annual license and also failed to revise its business practices as required under a 2005 Consent Order with the state has been shut down under a Final Order of Discipline.

The Division of Consumer Affairs, which licenses moving and warehousing companies through its Regulated Business Section, found that Just in Time Moving & Delivery Service Inc. and its owner, Haliru M. Gusau, made misrepresentations and failed to comply with registration requirements.

Twenty-eight consumers have retrieved goods stored by Just in Time at 135 North Michigan Avenue, Kenilworth, New Jersey. A Superior Court Judge has ordered that any consumer goods not removed from the warehouse by May 18, 2007 will be deemed abandoned and disposed of appropriately.

"We have returned merchandise to the rightful owners that we could identify using the incomplete records the company had," said Stephen B. Nolan, Acting Consumer Affairs Director. "I urge anyone who hired Just In Time Moving & Delivery Service and has not yet received their property back to contact the Division immediately."

All consumer goods not claimed by May 18, 2007 will be subject to disposal. Consumers must contact the Regulated Business Section by calling Assistant Director Veronica Hursthouse at 973-504-6336 to claim goods stored at Just In Time’s Kenilworth Warehouse. Consumers should present any contracts, invoices or other documentation to help identify their items.

Deputy Attorney General Geoffrey R. Gersten represented the state in this matter.
