Lindsay Lohan is facing a lawsuit from the owners of a fashion store, who allege that the actress hasn't paid her bills and owes them thousands of dollars.
David Malvaney and Rodney Burns, owners of Church Boutique, filed papers against Lohan on Wednesday claiming she never paid for clothes, jewellery and accessories that she bought from their store.
The two claim Lohan has only paid $180 from a total amount of $17,060 which she has built up in shopping sprees between November 2009 and February this year.
However, the store owners now insist they wouldn't have let Lohan take the items if they would have known she had "no intention" of paying, reports contactmusic.com.
The documents read: "Plaintiff's reliance on Lohan's representations (that her business manager would take care of it) were justified due to Lohan's well-known status as a movie actress with substantial income.
"Filing suit was the last thing we wanted to do, but after six months of not being paid, my clients were left with no choice. They started this business from scratch, and that they have been successful in attracting an elite clientele does not mean they should be abused."
Malvaney and Burns have accused Lohan of committing premeditated fraud and are seeking to recoup the balance, plus interest and punitive damages.
