I go to the barber college on Capital near Spring Forest for excellent $5 haircuts.
Next to their strip are 2 closed furniture stores that probably took a lot of money for furniture they never supplied.
One got in the news for ripping a single mother of 6 of over $1K.
Another just closed after blanketing the area with illegal signs trying to stimulate sales. Perhaps my report to the city hit he owner with a massive fine.
Be careful. Never use any payment other than a CREDIT (not debit) card and be sure you will receive your purchases before the dispute period expires.
Several biggies have dropped off such as Heilig-Meyers and Home Quarters.
In bankruptcy, customer deposits are at the bottom of the distribution order.

I get your point, but how can you be so sure the latest store ripped people off? Article in the paper? Just a feeling? What was it called, anyway? I do know about the first one. Wasn't it Furniture Spot?

If you are paying for ANYTHING high-ticket, use a credit card.
Make sure you get what you ordered within the time period promised.
If they don't, then file a Back-Charge claim with your CC bank.
You are their customer, not the store.
Unless bankrupts process has already started, you'll get your money back very quickly.

Yes.
The store just filing Chapter 7 had lots of specially made and special ordered items for sale. I went in there once to look but walked out when the owner told how long before delivery. Way more than dispute period.
Based on the owner's abuse of city sign laws, I'd bet there will be a large loss to creditors in the Chapter 7 case.
The trustee's name is on the door for anyone wanting info, which is a public record.
Using a credit card branded debit card will provide the same protection as a credit card - if you select the credit option instead of debit card. What's why your debit card has visa or master card emblem on it.

Whether or not they "ripped people off" is immaterial to the argument. They took payment for delivery, and went bankrupt. Customers are left having paid and not getting their goods.

This is not strictly true. There are laws that govern credit card losses.
Not so for debit cards. Most (I assume ALL of the ones from big-name banks), have policies that are similar to the laws, but one big difference is that a CC loss is limited to $50, ever.
If you're DC is misused, the average time to get all your money back is 2-3 months.
We just bought some very nice furniture at a great price from Furnitureland South. I highly recommend the drive out there and I don't think you have to worry about them going under just yet. The delivery of the furniture was also flawless, they wrapped all the pieces really well so nothing was damaged or scratched in any way. I also received 20k rewards points on my Amex card as one of their latest bonus offers. Total win win all around.
