If they filed for bankruptcy your friend is merely an unsecured creditor and depending on what assets the company has left he might not get anything back.

NYreefNoob how can his friend prove that they knew they were going under?

You wont get a dime back !!!!!!!!!!!

Quit while your ahead !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but I have seen this happen too many times before. Whoever owned this place has already ruined his credit and filed BK so he walked away from all debt.......

So any money you pay a lawyer or whoever is throwing good money after bad.

Sad but true.

Your friend got swindled.

It happens all the time with these little pet stores?

Well I went there today and they are GONE completely. I called and they left the number for tenecor. Apparentl they are tring to do right for people YET even though you paid AFY you would still have to buy it from them. They do acrylic and the rep who I happened to good freinds with said they are gonna try to get into the place to see whats in there. But cant until the process is over. He said Tenecor if they find tank done w/ paperwork or enough glass they will try again TRY to get them out to AFY's customers. But no promises. He's gonna KIT with me and LMK right away what is going on. But as of now we are all S-O-L

aquariums for you

Hey Dave I just received an e-mail from Tenecor because I requested a quote for a cube tank from aquariums for you, they said they will try to work out a discount with-in reason for people waiting for a tank from Aquariums for you. Out of business after 16 yrs. I just asked for a quote & hope they can give me a discount. I will take acrylic at a discount. I would have your friend call Tenecor, he might get a good deal from them.

tenecor

here's the e-mail I received from Tenecor:

Tenecor Aquariums regrets that ?Aquariums For You? has closed its doors permanently after 16 years of making high quality glass and acrylic aquariums. The owners, management, and staff of ?Aquariums For You? are unfortunate victims of a slowed economy burdened with ever increasing resource costs. Be assured that this team worked with the greatest effort, but could not avoid what befell them.

Tenecor is working in tandem, but as separate entities, with the former management of ?Aquariums For You? in an attempt to facilitate the resolution of past and current issues to the extent that they can realistically be remediated.

Tenecor is also offering specialized one time discounts and financing plans to both mitigate any loses and to facilitating the prompt fulfillment of past, current, and future orders.

This is a difficult time for all involved and adversely affected. Tenecor and ?Aquariums For You? truly love this industry and, despite the situation, will try to do whatever we can to work with everyone to get through it in an organized and efficient manner.

Customers can contact Tenecor with any questions, issues, and requests.

Tenecor, Inc. 800-826-5420 [email protected] www.Tenecor.com

This looks like a stall tactic designed to avoid charge backs (which really only work when the company is still earning money through the charges). I wouldn't hesitate to contact my credit card company. I can't imagine that Tenecor is going to give much of a discount.

I had the same thing happen.....with AFY(I spoke to the owner about 10 days ago also...he didnt say anything, what a scumbag!!)

I called my credit card company, and they covered me...I got the money back today...unless AFY disputes it, but they have no case anyway

I called tenacor...they said they would try to match, or even beat AFY prices...but dont count on it...AFY went out of business b/c they were to cheap, and cutting corners to keep cost down!!!!!

Also, I have to say, It is amaznig that people will give advice about something which they know nothing(and I mean NOTHING) about.

While you may get money back from a bank you have to watch out for cost and fees that may show up on your credit report...
Most people get money back through insurance that we all pay into, that they hope to recoup through the bankruptcy claim filed by these companies...
I just made this up but doesn't it sound good...lmao
Hope all works well for your friend though..
Happy reefing and Damn it's hot outside...lol
