DETROIT – For General Motors Corp., the task at hand is so difficult that experts say a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing is all but inevitable.
To remake itself outside of court, GM must persuade bondholders to swap billion in debt for 10 percent of its risky stock. On top of that, the automaker must work out deals with its union, announce factory closures, cut or sell brands and force hundreds of dealers out of business — all in three weeks.
I just bought a 3-year Bally’s gym membership in October 2008 for 0 cash, so there are NO monthly payments. I’ve been using the club regularly and enjoying my membership, but I just found out Bally’s filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2008 and put themselves up for sale. If they don’t find a buyer, they might close several locations or go out of business completely. I see in my contract I can get a refund for any reason within 6 months of buying my membership. I don’t really want to cancel my membership, but I don’t want to lose my money either. Advice?

Chapter 11 is a chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which permits reorganization under the bankruptcy laws of the United States. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is available to any business, whether organized as a corporation or sole proprietorship, and to individuals, although it is most prominently used by corporate entities. In contrast, Chapter 7 governs the process of a liquidation bankruptcy, while Chapter 13 provides a reorganization process for the majority of private individuals with unsecured debts of less than 6,900.00 and secured debts of less than ,010,650.00 as of April 1, 2007.

Amp’d mobile is going out of business on a chapter 11 bankruptcy and I got a bill I feel is wrong and I was wondering if I still owe them that money.
By filing personal bankruptcy (chapter 7) including business credit card debts with personal guarentees; do I also have to file for business chapter 11 bankruptcy because of these same credit cards or will the pesonal filing take care of them without involving my business?
