Wells Fargo, two suppliers seek Chapter 7 liquidation for United Furniture
On the day the company sent notices to all employees that it was shutting down and their jobs would be immediately eliminated, United Furniture management told credit-line provider Wells Fargo that it needed more capital immediately to continue operations, the bank says in a bankruptcy petition seeking involuntary liquidation. Wells Fargo and V & B International of Port Gibson, Mississippi, and Security Associates of Mississippi/Alabama of Homewood, Alabama, filed a joint petition late Friday asking the court to appoint a trustee overseeing remaining assets and liquidation under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy code. Wells Fargo asked the court, in a motion filed Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Mississippi, where United is based, to schedule a hearing Friday on appointing a trustee to oversee and protect remaining United assets.
