Chomicki's neighbour angry he hasn't repaid $12K loan despite court ruling

Lloydminister business woman Elizabeth D'Lugos says she's frustrated that more than a decade after she gave Bill Chomicki a loan for his proposed naturopathic health clinic, he has failed to repay anything. 

Chomicki lives right across the street from D'Lugos. She said when she heard about his clinic she was intrigued because she believes in a natural approach to health. 

The bakery owner agreed to loan him $12,000 on the promise that he'd repay with interest within days, but she says he hasn't repaid anything. She said that really hurts.

"We lost that money. We're never going to see it again," D'Lugos said.

D'Lugos worries about other alleged victims

At least 15 people have filed police complaints about Chomicki and several more have pursued him in civil court. Many of them have similar stories. 

"It has to be stopped. I don't care what anyone else is going to say about me because I really don't care. I was stupid. I made a mistake," D'Lugos said. 

D'Lugos has a default judgement against Chomicki and a lien registered against the home where Chomicki lives with his wife. 

She admitted lending the money to Chomicki was a risky move. But she said given all of the other complaints, it's clear Chomicki is up to no good. 

"When you do that at the fifth time and the tenth time and you're still borrowing money and still getting money out of people, then how do you call that?" D'Lugos questioned. 

"That's definitely a scam."

She said she reported the situation to RCMP and was told it was a civil matter, which makes no sense to her.

"Why the lawyers, the judges, the police -- why (aren't they) helping us? Why don't they stop this person scamming more people out there."
