bulldog you might want to speak with an attorney or something..a chapter #13 is for individuals that have assests such as a house etc...otherwise they file a chapter #7....i am not a lawyer but i am almost 100% sure that their business would not be protected under the federal bankrupty protection with a #13 filing....they would have needed to file a chapter 11 which is designed for businesses....if you can get their full name or by chance social security # you can call this bankruptcy hotline and punch in the information and it will provide a search and tell you what chapter they have filed the case# , attorney they have used and the trustee (1-800-669-8767)..at a minimum you will need to file a proof pf claim to your position....a name will work on this search but takes a little longer..a social is quicker but i know you might not have this info..
i live about 1 hour from Neeses SC....i cannot confront these people for you but if you need any leg work done with information etc..i would be more than happy to help you out..
If by some chance you get your money back and want a very good dragster chassis builder then you need to call ED HORTON which is located about 1 hour from the place you hired to get the job done...i know this is sour grapes to you now but i wanted you to know this just in case you do re-coup some money and want the job done right..
if i can help you in any way please give me a P.M. and i will share my phone number with you etc....
also reference to a law suit..here in S.C. you can sue in small claims court up to $5,000 dollars...higher than this and it goes to state court which would most likley invlove you retaining an attorney here in S.C...which i could help refer you in the right direction here if need be.
ps..i looked at their web-site and i can see why you trsuted them...the website looked really good..
again i really feel for you 26k is no joke to lose..if you or your attorney need anything from me here in S.C. such as leg work on anything that is only available in S.C.....please let me know
thanks- Brian
