So the bankruptcy petition was filed. Received a proof of claim form in the mail. When you receive it, two things: (1) file your proof of claim by the Nov 2018 deadline and (2) contact the trustee (listed on the paperwork sent to us) and urge her to challenge the discharge.

Thanks for the update!

What I find interesting is that there are a lot of postings by us parents that have lost money because of this situation, but I see nothing from coaches that lost a short summer job. This seems to be an important fact when evaluating whether the Jacobsons at all planned to open the camp. Those...

As an aside, it's a corporation, not an LLC. To assist those searching, I believe it's official corporate name is U.S. Gymnastics Training Centers, Inc.

I get it. I've been involved in several lawsuits on behalf of clients where the opposing party files bankruptcy. And I also know that even if I do establish fraud against the individuals (fyi, LLC structure limits individual liability for debts of LLC, not intentional misrepresentations made...

No, if you're a Mass. resident, you can bring an action in the county in which you live.

There is some recourse - if the court determines that the debt is non-dischargeable (e.g., the result of fraud) it doesn't go away. Everyone that registered and paid will get creditor notices... please pay attention to dates/deadlines for your various filings and make sure to contact the...

Because independently $1450 (or 2x that if you paid for both weeks) isn't enough to go out and hire an attorney, I think our best bet is collectively to continue to press the state attorney general's offices in Mass. and Florida (you can also contact the NY office if you want to add to the list...

This is great. I'm in Mass too, but hope that she's able to get in touch with someone.

It's absurd that they're telling parents to send proof of payment. They cashed the check. And does this mean that parents that haven't been proactive get shut out? How is that?

I e-mailed her. It's an AOL address. My guess is that she doesn't check it.

I've called and e-mailed the attorney, Donna Bumgardner, but have not received a response. Looks like she has taken the baton from Michael and Susan Jacobson and is ignoring concerned parents. We'll never make the foolish mistake of paying any camp with a bank check again (but hopefully said...

I see your perspective, but when parents have given these people hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold, and then camp is canceled and the money is not immediately refunded and probably spent, it's theft. If the owners don't have the financing in place to cover the upfront costs of running a...

Nope. Looks like theft. Also, many, like me, paid by bank check so there's no recourse. Just got an e-mail from them: Dear Parents, We apologize for the delay in response regarding refunds. We have been forced by this situation to seek the assistance of an attorney. At this point all...

I've done the same. What's odd is that Susan Jacobson answered the phone on the day I learned about the cancellation (through someone else), but now they refuse to respond to e-mails or phone calls. It's absurd.

My daughter was also supposed to go to this camp. On the Wednesday before a Sunday drop off, we received a vague e-mail about how camp had to be canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances." I called the owner, Susan, that day and she answered. She gave another vague response about why camp was...
