I recently found these posts on wedding websites. Its interesting that Michelle and Steve Studebaker are up to their old tricks, ripping off brides and leaving them with tarnished memories of their wedding day. Good luck to anyone who tries to take these con artists down. For the record, I, Nicholle McClelland followed all the rules and guidelines set forward by ebay, Visa, PayPal, the BBB, and state and federal authorities. I returned the dress to the Michelle and Steve Studebaker via Visa Card as requested by PayPal and Visa. The Studebaker's portrayal of the events surrounding the dress were false. As you can tell from various posts below the circumstances in my case seem to be Michelle and Steve Studebaker's-of Studebaker Enterprises--modus operandi. posts found on partypop.com. PLEASE ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME GET IN TOUCH WITH MICHELLE OR ANYONE FROM IGOWNS.COM - I PAID FOR MY DRESS WITH MY CHECKCARD ~4 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE WEBSITE IS GONE EMAIL WONT GO THROUGH AND NO SIGN OF MY DRESSS I AM VERY WORRIED PLEASE HELP ME [email protected] posted 11/04/04 by allie +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Re: MICHELLE STUDEBAKER "IGOWNS" LIE Being new to this board I am not sure who she is but if this is the same Michelle that I found she was in court today in Idaho. 01:30 PM Steven Matthew Studebaker vs. Donalyn Michelle Studebaker Motion for Temporary Orders CV-2003-0007943 Plaintiff Attorney: Doty, Julie L Defense Attorney: Nixon, Jed K. Maybe this will help you ladies. Best of Luck Visit our page for more info: Lake Bridals posted 05/31/05 by Wendy +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Re: MICHELLE STUDEBAKER "IGOWNS" LI OMG!! Thank God I found you!!! I got married last year and bought a dress from her and 3 weeks before my wedding my dress was still not here and she refused to return my calls or my e-mails... I ended up calling my bank and they gave me back my money, so thankfully I was able to get my money back... I bought another dress and then she called my house when I was on my honeymoon asking when I would like to have my dress delivered... I assume they contacted her from my bank and she called then... I did not take any legal approach because I decided to leave it alone... I was having anxiety attacks and all when I saw that my dress was not here and that I was getting married in less than 3 weeks... I cannot believe I found this after a year... I agree with the last girl who wrote we have to give this thief what she deserves. How dare she continue to work with brides after she almost ruined so many of our wedding days..... posted 06/14/05 by Punky +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Re: MICHELLE STUDEBAKER "IGOWNS" LIE Thank you all so much for writing in. I was unable to get my money back because I wrote her a personal check. Even though it is almost a year later I still really want to pursue this, not nly for what she put me through, but for the $900 she owes me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will let you know any info I get, please keep doing the same. I can't let her do this to anyone else. Thanks!! posted 06/14/05 by Ryan

Excuse me, ma'am, but your comments are in relation to a situation that occured over 3 years ago. This company has been in the control of another firm for over 2 years. Posting the personal contact information of individuals is a breach of the Federal Privacy Act. For this reason, YOUR personal contact information was not posted. In regard to a "Federal Investigation" or "Attorney General's Investigation", there is not and never has been any such action taken. When looking into the records surrounding this case, one can see clearly that the item in question was never returned. According to Visa/Mastercard regulations, items for which you have received a refund must be returned to the original seller within a reasonable time frame from the original date of purchase. No such record of return exists. Furthermore, in regard to your comments about Ebay, PayPal, and the Attorney General Supporting your case, you are sadly mistaken. In the Terms of Service set forth by both Ebay Inc and PayPal, they clearly state that they do not take sides in buyer/seller disputes. There is no supporting documentation regarding the Attorney General in this case as well.

I stand by my conviction that Studebaker Enterprises (Steve and Michelle Studebaker, 1706 Gilbert Ave, Coeur d' Alene, ID 83815, 208-676-9163, [email protected], [email protected]) fraudulently entered into a contract with me concerning a faulty wedding dress that did not arrive as it was advertised. Colorado's Attorney General, Idaho's Attorney General, Visa, Ebay and PayPal all support my conviction and have investigated Studebaker Enterprises for breach of contract and violation of Consumer Protection Acts, among other business, legal and ethical violations. Ebay and PayPal have cancelled Studebaker Enterprises accounts directly due to bad business behavior and dishonesty. Unfortunately, the behavior continues to this day, and Studebaker Enterprises comments on Ripoffreport.com are categorically incorrect and constitute libel and defamation of character. Please remove them immediately.
