Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Are we simply out of luck on the money owed to us? - Our ex- landlord tried to not pay us the security deposit that he owed us. We took it to small claims court and won, and the court said that he has 21 days to pay us. It has been less than a week. Today, we got a letter in the mail saying that he is filing for bankruptcy. Are we simply not going to get our money owed? We really need it right now, and I hate to think that this jerk is going to get out of paying us. Plesase help. -
