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.

Kat

I do need to note one discrepancy I see, though. According to Furaffinity's info on the head, it says the posting and your comment was 1 month ago. Which could border on upwards of 2, with how the timestamp works.

That seems like it was the last contact on this fursuit.

Kat (my mate) and I have talked to her a total of about 5 times since the middle of Feb (almost 4 months). In Feb she told us she'd sent it by FWA. No contact until beginning of March, during which she said she tried to send it but Fed-Ex just put the box in a corner and never sent it or something. She then said she'd send it in a couple days and would call us letting us know. No response, the con went by, and it wasn't until the middle of April (a month and a half later) that she actually contacted us.

She kept in good contact for about two days, continuously saying she was about to send it. Then she randomly posted the picture of the head (2 weeks after she said she would have it sent out) and that was April 22nd. And no, I don't think that posting a picture without uttering a word to us about it EVER (we have not been able to establish contact since then, even after we've already said SEND IT. And we've tried) counts as "contact". It seems more like the picture was posted to shut us up or buy more time.

So while it hasn't been a whole 4 months of no contact, it's been 4 months of tedious and repetitive attempts at getting in contact, to which she's only really been in touch for about 2 whole days right in the middle, to break the drought. And now that we told her we just want the money back, it feels like she's trying to avoid us from now on because she doesn't want to refund us. And we just don't know what to do at this point.
