Cellphone Contract ; Do i have a chance of getting my money back or I shouldn't waste my time on this. Please advise.

Asked by a user in Beverly Hills, CA - over 3 years ago.

Asked by a user in Porter, TX - over 3 years ago.

Your question is really hard to follow. From what I can tell, however, it is not your employer the cabinet company filing Chapter 13, but rather a builder which is one of its customers. This makes sense since companies, such as your employer, are not allowed to file Chapter 13. Chapter 13 is reserved for individuals and individuals who own companies as sole proprietors only. Anyway, you don't have any relationship with the builder so you have no rights in the builder's Chapter 13. Your...
