A Model Problem
Thursday, September 7th, 2006Indianapolis is witnessing a model problem of sorts, or rather a modeling business problem with dozens of models claiming that an Indianapolis modeling business failed to pay them for work that they did. The business owner Heather Dill filed for bankruptcy in June. Now a bankruptcy court is trying to determine what assets it can claim from Heather.
Perfect 10 Models Inc, the modeling business in question, hired these models to promote products at events like trade shows. The models’ contracts said they would be paid within 90 days. However, according to the models, no payment came. And to make matters worse, Heather delayed payments by making excuses and according to some models, even lying that their paychecks were in the mail. As of now, Dill seems to want to work out a payment plan with the models. Theindychannel.com reports:
The court said it learned Dill deposited $24,000 in her own bank account the day after she filed for bankruptcy. The court is reviewing Dill’s financial statements to see what assets it can seize from her, Sanchez reported.
