Corporate obligations to consumers are very high on the "food chain" when the chapter 11 bankruptcy pie is being carved up. It might even still be useable, so there may be no harm is giving it a try to purchase goods or services from them. Unless it is for a large amount, however, hiring your own attorney to represent you in the bankruptcy may not be feasible. There is a chance that similarly situated consumers might already be represented on the creditors committee, however, so it may be worth checking with the trustee to see if this is true, or if such a committee could still be convened.
