NY AG Sues Attyx (SUNco) for $275 Million — Forged Signatures, Hidden Fees (2026)

Claver Campbell is 76 years old. She lives in Jamaica, Queens. She answered a Facebook ad promising a deal for older homeowners — a free roof replacement and solar panels covered by "government programs." A sales rep from a company called SUNco (which sometimes called itself Attyx) showed up at her door with a tablet.

She later canceled. The rep called back. "Why did you do such a stupid thing?" she says he told her. She was pressured into reinstating the contract. When the closing paperwork arrived, her jaw dropped.

The amount was triple what she expected. She was on the hook for more than $160,000.

On March 17, 2026, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a $275 million lawsuit against Attyx (formerly SUNco), its two CEOs Grant Young and Benson Payne, and its lending partners Solar Mosaic and WebBank. The complaint alleges the companies targeted elderly and low-income New Yorkers with false promises of "free" solar, used electronic tablets to bypass consumer review of documents, embedded hidden loan surcharges inside inflated "system costs" — and, in some cases, simply forged consumers' e-signatures on the agreements.

If you signed a contract with Attyx, SUNco, or LGCY Power (the name Attyx used after New York revoked its license in late 2025), you are reading about your own contract in the news. And forged e-signatures are not a gray area. They are a contract killer.

Stick with me. I'll walk you through exactly what the NY AG alleges, why this case is different from every other solar enforcement action, how the forged-signature angle changes the legal math, and — toward the bottom — the two outcomes we typically get for Attyx and SUNco customers. This is one of the strongest solar cases currently being litigated in the United States.

What the NY AG Actually Filed on March 17, 2026

The complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The defendants are:

• Attyx, LLC (formerly SUNco Capital)
• Grant Young and Benson Payne — Attyx co-CEOs, named individually
• Solar Mosaic LLC — a major solar loan servicer (already named as the largest unsecured creditor in Freedom Forever's April 15, 2026 bankruptcy)
• WebBank — the lending partner that actually issued the loans

The AG is seeking:

• A permanent injunction barring Attyx from the solar and home improvement industries in New York
• Full restitution for affected consumers
• Cancellation of all existing fraudulent loan agreements
• Significant civil penalties
• Total damages estimated at $275 million

More than 200 customer complaints are already on file with the OAG. Attyx and its predecessor SUNco installed more than 4,500 solar systems in the New York City area.

The Four Allegations That Make This Case Different

Allegation #1: Forged E-Signatures

Most solar misrepresentation cases are about what was said versus what was signed. This one goes further. The complaint alleges Attyx sales staff "simply forged consumers' e-signatures on the agreements" in some cases. Legal Aid Society attorneys investigating independently reached the same conclusion: one client's e-signature "appeared on documents she did not recognize."

Forged signatures are not a consumer protection gray area. They are contract void ab initio — meaning the contract never legally existed in the first place. You cannot be bound by a contract you did not sign. If your e-signature was forged on any Attyx or SUNco document, the contract is likely unenforceable from day one.

Allegation #2: Documents Never Given to Consumers

The complaint alleges that Attyx "repeatedly obtained consumers' electronic signatures… without first providing the consumer with copies of the agreements they were signing." Tablets were used specifically to prevent review. If you never received a copy of your signed contract — or received one that looked different from what you thought you were signing — that is a documented pattern in the AG case.

Allegation #3: Hidden Loan Surcharges

Attyx's lending partners, Solar Mosaic and WebBank, allegedly embedded substantial loan surcharges inside the stated "system costs" rather than disclosing them as finance charges. The practical effect: the stated loan APR looked reasonable, but the true cost of credit was dramatically higher than disclosed. This is a Truth in Lending Act (TILA) violation in addition to a New York GBL §349 violation.

Allegation #4: Regulatory Evasion

The NY Public Service Commission revoked Attyx's operating license in late 2025. The company kept operating anyway — rebranded as LGCY Power to continue soliciting New York homeowners and funneling them to Solar Mosaic and WebBank. Operating without a license, while the regulator has explicitly barred you, is as clean a regulatory violation as it gets.

Why Forged Signatures Change Everything for Your Case

If you signed a Sunrun, Freedom Forever, or other solar contract and the salesperson misrepresented the deal, you have a misrepresentation claim. That is a fight worth having — and we do.

If your e-signature was forged, you do not have a misrepresentation claim. You have a contract does not exist claim. The difference is enormous:

• Misrepresentation: you argue the contract was signed based on false statements
• Forgery: you argue there is no contract because you did not sign it

When a contract does not exist, the remedies are cleaner and more total. Full cancellation. Full restitution. The lender cannot enforce a loan secured by a non-existent agreement. The solar company cannot pursue payment on a document you never signed.

This is why the NY AG case is so powerful: the AG's discovery process is going to produce evidence of forgery patterns that applies to every Attyx and SUNco customer, not just the specific plaintiffs. When that evidence becomes public record, every single Attyx/SUNco contract holder benefits from it.

The Solar Mosaic and WebBank Angle — Why Your Lender Is On the Hook

The AG did not just sue Attyx. They sued Solar Mosaic and WebBank as co-defendants. This is a critical legal move because it establishes that the lenders are liable alongside the installer for the fraudulent scheme.

The FTC Holder Rule already makes the lender subject to the same claims you have against the seller. The NY AG's direct naming of the lenders as defendants makes that link even more powerful. Practically, this means:

• Your Solar Mosaic or WebBank loan can be canceled or voided alongside the Attyx contract
• You are not obligated to keep paying a loan secured by a potentially forged agreement
• The lenders are under direct regulatory pressure to settle quickly rather than fight individual claims

What You Can Do Right Now

1. Document what you have. Every piece of paper from the sale. Every email. Every text. Any copy of the tablet screen you may have photographed. If you have nothing because Attyx never gave you copies, that is also evidence — the AG complaint specifically calls out that pattern.

2. Look carefully at the signatures on your contract. If anything looks off — a signature style that does not match yours, initials in places you do not remember initialing, handwriting variations that do not fit your actual writing — preserve it. Take photos. This is the strongest possible evidence.

3. File a complaint with the NY OAG. If you are a New York resident, this is non-negotiable. Your complaint joins the active $275M case. Go to ag.ny.gov/complaints.

4. Do not contact Attyx, Solar Mosaic, or WebBank. These are named defendants in active litigation. Any contact becomes discoverable. Do not negotiate, do not accept settlement offers, do not sign modifications until a specialist has reviewed your situation.

5. Get a free case review.

Here Is What Actually Happens When We Take Your Case

We are not a referral mill. We review every case before we take it. If you meet the criteria — and most homeowners reading an article like this one do — here is what typically happens:

Outcome #1: Your contract gets completely canceled. You keep the system.

Read that again. That $30,000 loan, that $80,000 loan, that $150,000 loan — gone. Wiped. And the equipment on your roof? You keep it. It is yours. Hire a local electrician or solar tech to clean it up and tie it in properly, and you have got a functioning solar system for the cost of a service call.

Not a typo. That is the best-case outcome, and it is what we push for on every case we accept.

Outcome #2: Your loan gets massively reduced. Typically 40% to 60%.

Every case is different, but the pattern is consistent:

• A $150,000 loan knocked down to around $75,000
• A $70,000 loan cut to $35,000
• A $175,000 loan restructured to something you can actually live with

If we cannot completely kill the contract, we fight like hell to get the principal slashed — and we have a track record of doing it.

If we take your case and cannot deliver either outcome?

You get 40% of your fee back after we have exhausted every angle. That is our guarantee, in writing. Nobody else in this space puts that on paper. We do — because we only take cases we believe in.

The Bottom Line

The NY AG's $275M case against Attyx is the most aggressive solar fraud enforcement action in U.S. history. The combination of forged signature allegations, elderly-targeting patterns, hidden loan surcharges, and regulatory evasion via rebranding means the defendants are facing existential legal exposure. They will either settle on terms that include mass cancellation of individual contracts, or face a trial verdict that could be worse.

Either way, you win by moving now. Homeowners who file complaints and case reviews during an active AG investigation consistently get better individual outcomes than those who wait for the case to resolve. The AG's evidence is your evidence. The $275M number anchors every future settlement discussion in your favor.

If your Attyx, SUNco, or LGCY Power contract has been haunting you, this is the moment.
