Really sorry to hear about that. Be it 7500 or 26000, that would be a alot of money to me. I agree- Chapter 13 is is interesting & leads me to believe they have assets. So what they are doing is using your money for working capital most likely & they are buried in overhead/debt... at this point, they probably have thier creditors & vendors cutting them off too if they are using consumer funds to keep the buisness alive. It is surprising that they have not converted the 13 to a Chapter 7 yet. Alot of vendors & creditors will make a comany such as a corp or LLC sign a "Personal Guarantee". If they have signed this in the past, that means that likely obligated to those vendors/creditors first... even thier personal mortgage & other assets have a lien priority. What is to protect the consumer??? They should be first... I hope you guys get every dime back... Good luck!!
