What Can I Do if a Customer Who Owes My Business Money Filed for Bankruptcy?
Our lawyers also work with many businesses that are creditors in bankruptcy cases. We help them to maximize their chances of recovering property or getting claims paid from debtors. If a customer files bankruptcy and owes your business money, then your business becomes a creditor in the customer’s bankruptcy. Improperly handling these creditor issues can be costly to any business and may also push your business into its own financial mess.
Several issues can arise for creditors in bankruptcy, such as:
- Needing to file a proper proof of claim
- Resolving the bankruptcy trustee’s objections to your proof of claim
- Objecting to a discharge of certain debts
- Protecting your business’ rights to continued payments, assets and collateral
- Monitoring the status of any contracts or leases your business had with the debtor
- Defending against preference and fraudulent transfer lawsuits filed by the bankruptcy trustee
- Objecting to a Chapter 11 plan that does not treat the creditors equitably and according to the Bankruptcy Code
