Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Signed a contract with Carl's furniture , they said you can't cancel contract, but she wouldn't put it through for 3 days. It was a leather couch. We put half the money down on a credit card. That same night I found out the store was in bankruptcy. I called the credit card company and sent a fax to the store that same night 07/04/2012 telling them I don't want to do business with them because of their bankruptcy status. Since the order wasn't put through could they hold us to the contract and not give us our money back?

This is a largely a completed contract. You cannot terminate a contract because of some tangential fact which you find out after signing it. Not wanting to do business with them because of their bankruptcy status is not a valid reason to refudiate. If they deliver, you will still owe the rest.
