Nick's Discount Appliances; Aka Nick's Discount TV And Appliances ripoff, promised merchandise and did not deliver, will not refund monies Berwyn Pennsylvania
Purchased high-end appliances during construction project of kitchen addition/renovation. Made downpayment for order. At time of order, we requested delivery in four months (due to construction). When deliver time arrived, promised delivery in three days. No delivery made.
After missing first date, promised no less than three other dates, all of which resulted in no merchandise. Found out that merchandise was never ordered when downpayment made four months ago. Promised numerous favors, rush orders, rush deliveries and special handling. At least ten other promises for firm delivery dates missed. Received refund of part of money. Still no goods delivered.
Will not return remainder of balance (>$1000). Will not return phone calls or letters. Now read in the paper that they filed for bankruptcy. DO NOT MAKE ANY UP-FRONT PAYMENTS TO THIS STORE. Better yet, don't buy anything from them.

Depending on the TYPE of bankruptcy you still might get that refund.

There are different kinds of bankruptcies, which can vary from State to State. Some can be filed with distributable assets, while others are not. This type of information is available, in public record. Try to track down their Bankruptcy court case pending for more specifics. Look for keywords: distrubutable assets, which can occur in the form of a refund for those in your situation.
An Attorney wouldn't be necessary, and they would leach all of your refund anyway.
Locate the County that their bankruptcy was filed in, and then call the specific Circuit Court. Explain your situation, because they might have some pointers for you. If you know the specific date when this was filed, you can find in your local newspaper. The library would have all archived issues, you shouldn't have to go back that far. The library might also have some pointers.
It could be that you would have a long wait for that refund, but it's better-late-than-never.
Hope it works out.
