if a judgement is made in your favor (and why wouldn't it be?), then if they don't pay, you could put a lien on property of theirs that can be sold to pay you back. (Office equipment, PCs, servers, printers, copiers, etc.) Real estate, too, if they own they property they work out of.

Actually, some real estate is protected under bankruptcy laws. nm - Old Pro

If they're not incorporated, maybe it's possible - to sue the owner personally?

Nab his boat, his Lexus, or his Persian rugs, perhaps.

If you have documented proof that they owe you... - alias

and if they truly filed for bankruptcy, try to find out who the attorney was who handles the bankruptcy and make sure you are on their list of creditors owed. That way you and her other creditors listed on the bankruptcy should be paid first. Otherwise, file a judgment against them and with documented proof of what they owe, your judgment should be amongst the others filing suit against them. good luck!

You need to find out where the bankruptcy was filed. You will then need to petition as a creditor and get in line for all of the other creditors for some kind of a settlement, probably 10 cents on the dollar if you are lucky. You need to do this in a timely manner. Write a letter to the Bankruptcy Referee, enclosing copies of all invoices, agreements, etc. Although I wish you good luck, I wouldn't hold my breath.

thanks - schnauzermom

Thanks for all the advice. I am going to get all my ducks in a row so to speak and get rolling with an attorney probably by Monday.

From what I am hearing about the financial difficulties and downsizing of many MTSOs, I suspect that their SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) are going to bankrupt them. Will we go back to ICs working directly for the doctors/facility? Isn't it a matter of downloading a free platform or utilizing a server for MTs that encrypts? Here is where the MTSO are losing money: Clients not informed of horrid sound quality, taking the MTs a lot of extra time to decipher. Doctors are not trai ...
