My Mother In Law Was Ripped Off. I Was Wondering If There Is Any Way To Go After The Company That Stole Her Money We Are In Texas And The Theif Is In Sc

LOCATION: Texas/South Carolina

My mother-in-law put down a $10,000 deposit on a Snoozy trailer, and the company has since shut down without returning her money. We’ve since learned that several other customers were affected in the same way. The company was based in South Carolina, while we are in Texas.

We’re trying to figure out the most effective way to move forward. I’ve suggested she contact the South Carolina Attorney General and file a consumer complaint, but we’re unsure what the best legal path is from here. So far, she’s been told that pursuing a lawsuit could cost more than the $10,000 she lost, which makes this even more frustrating.

To make matters worse, we’ve recently learned that the owner has purchased a bar in South Carolina, so it’s hard to believe this is due to lack of funds. It raises serious concerns about where customers’ deposits actually went.

We’re looking for guidance on what realistic options she has to try to recover her money and hold this person accountable.
