01 / THE VTB PAYMENT DISPUTE
Start with the court record.
VTB’s filed Notice of Claim associates Crown Honda with Anika Holdings Inc.. It allocates $2,520.00 of the $15,630.80 principal claim to that company. This is the amount claimed for that company, not a separate judgment award.
The supplied October 13, 2026 default order names six corporate defendants and records failure to file a Reply and proof of service. The supplied garnishing order records $16,265.82 including attachment costs. Service and recovery have not been independently verified.
The additional court-file collection includes Dreger v. Anika Holdings Inc.; a defence is recorded, but the ultimate outcome was not established from the docket reviewed. Selected Crown Honda customer accounts discuss a deposit refund, extended-warranty sales pressure and used-vehicle engine concerns. Known responses and outcomes remain alongside the accounts.
THE CORRESPONDENCE / GROUP PAYMENT DISPUTE
Thirty days’ notice.
An earlier payment cutoff.
02 / PAYMENT LIMITED TO AUGUST 17 · AUGUST 19, 2026
“Accordingly, we will conclude services effective August 17 and will pay for services rendered through that date.”
These excerpts concern notice and the proposed payment cutoff. In between, Dhiya offered to continue through September 7 if services continued as contemplated; VTB responded about restoring access and maintained its payment position. VTB disputes agreeing to shorten the notice period. The judgment names corporate defendants, not Dhiya personally.
