Vermont Business Magazine Attorney General TJ Donovan has settled litigation alleging consumer protection act violations against Literati Creative Group, which published the wedding magazines Vermont Vows and Well Wed. Literati went out of business in early 2016. The Attorney General sought reimbursement for advertisers who purchased ads in magazines that were not published or were published much later than anticipated.
The owner of Literati lacked sufficient funds to provide reimbursement, but must reimburse $17,000 if she demonstrates ability to pay within the next five years. The owner is prohibited from starting a new publication for the next five years without posting a bond.
According to the Secretary of State's database, Krista Washburn is named as the president of Literati Creative Group Inc, located at 18 Morse Drive in Essex. The registration for the business has been "terminated."
