The money was for home improvement, not taxes and insurance.

I would start by contacting the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (I will give you the link here as well) and file a claim. They can direct you as well to any other agency that can help. Have they filed for bankruptcy? You may be a creditor so watch out for those notices. Good luck.
