Personal Shopper Boise Idaho
American Facing Charges In Idaho Had Foreclosure Troubles In Idaho
An American group has been charged on 4th February 2010 at Haiti for abduction of children. The leader of the team, Laura Silsby is a businesswoman from Idaho who has behind her a complicated financial history. Employees had not been paid their wages, state liens had been placed on a bank account of one of her companies and lawsuits are pending in small claims court. She has also defaulted on a mortgage and was facing foreclosure troubles in Idaho. According to the office of Ada County Tax Assessor the house is located in an incomplete sub-division in Meridian – Boise suburb.
In November 2008 Silsby had used the address of this house to register a non-profit organization – New Life Children’s Refuge. She had bought it for $358,000 in 2008. Early last December her house was foreclosed upon and it is now lying vacant with a notice in the front yard about the impending foreclosure sale. One of her neighbours LaChelle Bohner said, “I get mail for her all the time.” The mail contained collection notices.
Silsby’s business named Personal Shopper offers online shopping facilities. It is now facing many legal charges. It has been mentioned as many as 14 times for unpaid wages. The reasons cited for this were “no money for payroll” and that it was “fully investor funded and investors have been hit hard by the economy.” The employees have come out winners in nine cases compelling Personal Shopper to cough up $31,000 as wages and an extra $4,000 as fines.
The Department of Labor of Idaho had in the start placed liens on the firm’s bank account to lay hands on the money. At this point the company wanted to know how much they owed and agreed to pay it said Bob Fick of the department. He also added that complaints about unpaid wages were not uncommon.
The government officials said that Personal Shopper cleared all the wage dues that the state had upheld. But another ex-employee, Robin Oliver, has filed a case against the firm in a civil court saying that the company owed her over $22,000. The trial is scheduled for 22nd February. Silsby’s attorney declined to comment on it.
Chris Holmes was one of those who had managed to get back his wages. He commented that it was not surprising that Silsby was facing trouble at Haiti. He said that Silsby always showed “lack of forethought” and kept on changing her business models to keep the investors happy – the investors who kept her firm alive.
