Sure. And commonly done...in fact the intent of the restructure and way to pay off those that funded it, is by selling the Co. Common sceanario: Co files C-11. Creditors - generally banks and bondholders, get the stock in the Co for allowing the Co to not pay as they had agreed. Original stockholders of losing Co are out... New Co operates with it's new strong stockholders and access to capital...provves it's worthy...and some other party buys it...hopefully for enough that the old lenders, now stockholders, get enough to pay off or lessent the amount the Co failed to pay back.
If they did chapters 1 through 10.
Gone unless someone buys his business and assumes debts and obligations.
Yup. Though its usually done by a company that buys debts and then files suit. But yes, absolutely.
One files a chapter 13 to claim bankruptcy. A chapter 13 allows a person who is severely in debt to be able to pay off their debts over a period of years without resulting in foreclosure or seizure of property.
Yes, they are required to pay back their debts, but sometimes its not as much as the original amount.
It depends on the chapter they filed and the financial state of the company, most likey not, that is why the filed for bankruptcy, they have no funds.
Not unless you were terminated as a result. Corporations in Chapter 11 often continue operating, and employees are not always terminated, though down-sizing is often part of the proposed plan.
The new company acquires the files. When you buy a company, you also buy everything that is owned by that company, which includes files.
When a business files for bankruptcy it basically means it can not repay the debts it owes to creditors. Generally a trustee will sell remaining assets and pay off creditors. The exact rules of what happens depends on what type of bankrupcty that is filed. In US for example there are Chapter 7, Chapter 13 etc.
if you filed chapter 13 and it was discharged in 2005 can you file chapter 7 in 2009
If your a customer and your owed money, it is not uncommon for all those types of debts to be paid in full. A Chap. 11, a reorganization, becomes much more of a business refinancing....with it being to everyones benefit to maintain the good faith of the customers. Certainly there are exceptions, and it may take a while, but generally, customers don't lose out.
File away; worker's comp cases may be the kind of debt the company must pay regardless of their chapter 11 status. Ask your attorney handling your case.
