Hudson's Family Dive Center files bankruptcy

[bigfil]

im out $160 as a result
i paid for swimming lessons that my kids are not going to get
is there anything i can do to get my money back?

calling the bbb is a moot thing at this point

edit: corrected thanks

moot, not mute


you can file with the bankruptcy court as a creditor or something. someone that they owe something to

but you will probably be near the bottom of the list of creditors, so you are unlikely to get anything

bummer dude

Sadly no, you can only add yourself to the list of debtors. If you paid by charge you could try issuing a chargeback though.

This may actually be possible. If it was through a card company, consumer entries can be returned for upto 60 days if it was transfered via ACH. Even if the company went out of business and closed their account, their bank would end up having to eat the return item and add it to their owed debt.

The advice is the best way to go and ...
throw your kids in the river and let nature teach them?

Whats so confusing about the title? Some swim place filed for bankruptcy and he wants his money back. 1+1= he paid for something at the swimplace and now he is screwed.


Sorry I doubt you will see any money. Are they shutting down or just reorganizing?

I've talked to a few different people who have had relations with it. Hudsons dive shop was paying about $15k/mo rent for the facility because the landlords kept upping the rent. The guy that ran it was doing virtually all of the lessons and certifications to make ends meet. They're going through bankruptcy and will not reopen.

The guy that ran it is regarded as a great guy and an excellent diver. Just not that great of a buisnessman.

Edit:
It closed because he couldn't and therefore didn't pay the rent for a number of months.
