Did You Receive Your Benefits After Paying?
Thank you for reaching out with your concern. To better assist you, could you please clarify which specific benefits you are referring to? Are you inquiring about a particular program, service, or type of benefit?
The 401k Investment Case
Based on the details you provided, it seems there was an issue with a 401k investment. You mentioned transferring $1000 to a startup for a 401k investment, but only received a check for $100 six months later. Your last statement indicated a balance of $1000, but the balance of $900 is unaccounted for. You inquired about the possibility of filing a small claim to recover the lost money.
Investment Loss Due to Bankruptcy
Unfortunately, your statement mentions a recent bankruptcy filing. You are currently declaring Chapter 7, which will be effective from today onwards, and will be your last day. In such a scenario, resolving a small claim can be challenging, and the company might not be able to fulfill your request for the recovery of the lost money.
Avoidance of Legal Action and Future Advice
Considering your situation, you mentioned that it took you six months to receive any money back, and you lack the time and patience to pursue further legal actions. In such cases, filing a lawsuit might not be feasible due to the current state of your finances and legal circumstances.
For future references, it is advisable to ensure that you have a detailed and clear agreement when making any financial investments. This agreement should outline the terms and conditions, including the collateral procedures, and the responsibilities of both parties. If an issue arises, you can refer to this agreement for resolution.
Conclusion
While it’s understandable that you might have concerns about recovering your money, given the current circumstances and the declaration of bankruptcy, it may be a tough road to successfully file a small claim. However, it's always a good practice to document everything and seek legal advice if you decide to proceed.
Thank you for sharing your situation. I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact if you have further questions or need clarification on any points.
