I'm back again, with another unresolved update concerning Hollenheist Aka Cassie

[Note. At the bottom is links to the 2 past journals regarding this. And one link to the fursuit head. And link to her Fa page. ]

Yanno, I really wasn't expecting to have to use my account here so often. Sadly though this is the case.

A few months ago, I had made a journal about Hollenheist aka Cassie. I had hoped things would be resolved.

Well, I'm back again, with the same complaint as before.

HollenHeist aka Cassie has as far as I'm concerned broken her agreement with me once to often.
After being in brief contact with her, and hearing yet again excuse after excuse, I gave her one more chance.
And I did warn her that if she couldn't follow through, I would take the necessary steps needed to get my money back.

Well, as you see, I'm writing this here. Which means, I got nothing from her. So in short I paid for a fitting of leggings, and a bad dark photo of a fursuit head that honestly I'm not sure if it's anything like what we had discussed.

A certified letter had been sent off to her. We got no response. An email telling her that I just want my money back. And no response. A shout out on her page, no response. I get nothing but her voice mail. Now, please understand I've not been calling her, noting her, e-mailing her every day, every moment or anything like that. The last thing I wish to be is harassing.

However this lack of communication has left me believing one thing. And that is that she has stolen six hundred dollars from me. And that she has no idea on how to do any sort of bussiness transaction, even one that is as informal as this is.

So six dates of promised delivery has been missed, my last communication with her was about 4 months ago give or take. I'm at my wits end.

I've said this before and I'll repeat myself again.. I don't want trouble or drama...But what can I do?

Any advice? Can anyone give me any advice on what I should do at this point? How do I get results from someone who won't correspond with you, and who lives to far away?

I've been as patient as I can be. All I want now, is to get my money back and be done with this with as little pain to each other as possible.

Stuff does happen, yes, but stuff seems to happen far, far too much to trust her to follow through at this point. Stuff's happened for over a year that's quadrupled the production time? And when stuff happens, it's a simple phone call or e-mail to at least negotiate things. She's blowing you off, be it out of fear or just lack of courtesy.

If she's done some work on the thing I'd think partial compensation would work along with sending the items... but again, if she's not talking to you, what can you do?

And if you end up getting nothing at all out of this, as least it'll serve as a big, BIG red flag to everyone out there not to deal with her.

She'll have to decide which she wants: the money for incompete work, or a tarnished reputation.

To be honest? I don't think she Cares about her reputation. I mean...well what is it to her really? For the short term gratification, she got 600 dollars. Perhaps at this point she feels so far removed?

Hell she admitted to me that she knew our trust in her was shot. And still she continues. So..what does that say about her? Nothing that I'm willing to say on a public board.

I am angry yes. I'm frustrated. And I don't know what else can be done.

So, This is my warning to any one looking to get a fursuit done. Not By Her.

Oh...I do feel the need to add one lil thing. She has No problems going to places to make her monster suit thingies and getting Those done...o,O

ok..perhaps that was a bit much.

No, stuff like that needs to be said. If you can see that someone's doing things for themselves while they're not communicating, that's important. But the communication's been more recent than 4 months I think.
