The coronavirus pandemic has created a disaster for many small business establishments. They were not able to survive the quarantine lockdowns and are being forced into bankruptcy court. This creates a problem for those who have claims against any of those companies. These can include consumer protection and violation of warranties. Group legal plans need to help those with legitimate grievances against companies, even if those businesses are in bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Law
Everyone thinks that Chapter 11 is the only type of bankruptcy filing. It is not. Chapter 7 is the part of bankruptcy law that a business will ordinarily file under. It permits a company to liquidate its assets to pay as much debt as possible. Chapter 11 will enable a firm to reorganize to continue operations. A consumer needs to know under which chapter a company filed for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy law protects the company from legal proceedings, which move forward only if the court permits it. Someone who has a valid consumer complaint against the company is considered a creditor in bankruptcy and has a right to payment. The business filing for bankruptcy must identify all its creditors. If it does not identify a consumer as a creditor, the consumer can still file a notice of claim with the court.
A challenge for any consumer is not only the low priority he or she has for repayment, but it is also the paperwork involved. There is a lot of it, and it is confusing at times. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a group legal plan benefit that includes help with consumer protection issues.
