Get a product back from a company that went bankrupt
I had bought a laptop from internetishop
Corporate Location:
2198 Pomona Blvd., Pomona, CA 91768 on the 28th of May 2004.
I had to send this item back to internetishop for repairs on the 20th of Aug. 2004. This product has been in there hands ever since then and I can not contact them to find out where it is or even if they still have it. All there phone numbers are disconnected and web site is down.I had contacted the BBB and the California Attorney General as of the 21st of September to make Complaints and begin an investigation about there practices. All I ask is that I get what belongs to me and that is my laptop.I had just found their bankrupt files online. Is there any thing I could do/

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.
We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.
If you send a lawyer or law firm email, your email will not create an attorney-client relationship and will not necessarily be treated as privileged or confidential. You should not send sensitive or confidential information via email. The lawyer or law firm to whom you are writing may not choose to accept you as a client. Moreover, as the Internet is not necessarily a secure environment it is possible that your email sent via the Internet might be intercepted and read by third parties.
Re: Get a product back from a company that went bankrupt
What method of payment did you use when you first purchased the computer? If you used a credit card I would contact the credit card company and try to dispute the original charge. Tell them that you never received a properly working computer.
Then I would file what is called a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy court. The Proof of Claim form can be found on the courts website where the bankruptcy has been filed. Filing this form may or may not help you but at least there will be a record of your claim in the Bankruptcy file.
I would also continue to contact the CA Attorney Generals office to see what help they can provide you.
