The compensatory damages that the plaintiffs are entitled to recover from Cohen and Camiel under M.G.L.c. 93A are the plaintiffs’ actual foreseeable losses that were caused by Cohen’s and Camiel’s unfair or deceptive acts or practices. See International Fidelity Ins. Co. v. Wilson, 387 Mass. at 850. This Court finds that Cohen and Camiel are jointly and severally liable to the plaintiffs in the amount of $1,745.88 in compensatory damages plus reasonable attorneys’ fees3 and costs. See id. at 858-59 (where several defendants have participated through their own individual acts in a single wrong, liability for compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs is joint and several). The $1,745.88 compensatory damage figure is the same as that determined for Cohen’s and Camiel’s compensatory damages liability under Count III: Deceit. The reasoning is identical. Since the plaintiffs chose to press on with their business at the Premises after September 1, 1987, the plaintiffs have failed to established by a preponderance of the evidence that there is a causal connection between Cohen’s and Camiel’s on-going actions and any com*525pensatory damages in excess of the detailed $1,745.88.
