Facebook helps designers get into debt

The first to publish the situation was jewelry designer Daria Velichenko, who had been waiting for a response from the Podium Market for four months. Anastasia Chernobaeva, owner of the Che brand, responded to her. The girls found themselves in an identical situation: Podium Market did not pay the brands money for the goods sold for a long time. Velichenko united in a closed community several other designers who found themselves in a similar situation, among them were the brands Lu Kids, Forma, Lilangel and Forma Sport.
The journalists of the Daily Poster found out about the current situation and contacted the Podium Market PR service with a request. After that, Daria Velichenko was transferred the entire amount of the debt.
Ilona Kuzmina, Commercial Director of the Podium Market chain of stores, explained the Daily poster.and the current situation: "As part of the work on commission agreements, we have a deferred payment system. With each supplier, we separately agree on the terms of cooperation and payment terms. We are in constant contact with all our partners and all obligations to them will be fulfilled in full. There is no reason to worry."
Currently, various media outlets have become interested in non-payments to designers of the required amounts, which publish comments by designers in which the network is accused of a fraudulent scheme of work and promise to go to court.
