RememberSchiff Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Parents who sign up their daughters to sell Girl Scout cookies are on the hook to pay for them, according to recent lawsuits aimed to collect arrears. One set of parents named as defendants deny the claims of GSHPA and are fighting back in court. A GSHPA lawsuit filed Sept. 26, 2023 against George and Kristen Sweder of Avoca claims that in 2022 Kristen ordered 352 boxes of Girl Scout cookies totaling $1,760, by signing the agreement form. The lawsuit seeks to recoup $1,760 plus $522 in collection fees incurred by the GSHPA, for a total sought of $2,282. In a statement, GSHPA spokeswoman Cathy Hirko replied, “We understand the public’s interest in this matter, and we appreciate your inquiries. However, as this is an ongoing legal issue, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania will not provide comments or discuss details at this time. However, we can note that as a steward to our nonprofit organization, we sometimes need to take legal steps to recoup financial losses.” More about lawsuits at source (with audio): https://www.standardspeaker.com/girl-scouts-in-the-heart-of-pennsylvania-sues-parents-to-recoup-cash-never-turned-in/article_f772f4d4-4598-5099-8587-57b63d4b3e8b.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
