My question is the opposite. We are one who is one the loosing end. We ordered furniture from a company in North Carolina. They are filing for bankruptcy. (We were notified in January 2007.) They owe us $6508.00 in furniture and/or money back from damaged and defective furniture. This furniture was ordered over a year ago (Nov. 2005). We have been haggling back and forth with the company since March of 2006 until January 2007 when we were informed of the bankruptcy filing. Is there any hope for us? Do we have a chance of getting our funds back? What about us innocent customers who were led to believe that items were going to be delivered and/or replaced? Any suggestions?

ANSWER.

Small claims court may give you a ruling in your favour up to $5k. only the hard part is collecting. A court judgement is just that a judgement not an absolutel rit. The Bankruptcy Laws tend to supercede your rights as claiment. One suggestion would be to make sure that the company in question did absolutely go Chapter 11 or did they just say they were going to?
