Yaseen stated that Holihan owes him a lot more than $1,800, which he attempted to gather from her on Aug. 25 — your day she shut up shop.

“She provided me with credit cards and asked me personally to charge it,” he stated. “It didn’t proceed through.”

He included that when you look at the week that is last has grown to become alert to “a amount of unscrupulous decisions” produced by Holihan that involve other bridal industry companies. He stated that Holihan presumably offered one company’s test gowns from the rack in place of going back them into the merchant.

“I am certainly one of her smaller debts,” Yaseen stated.
