In Pennsylvania, U.S. Labor Department Sues Owner Of Company Gone Bankrupt
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - The U.S. Department of Labor has filed an adversary complaint in federal bankruptcy court against the owner of now defunct G&M Land Development Inc., Wescosville, Pennsylvania, to prevent her from discharging $118,736 owed to participants of the company’s pension plan. G&M Land Development Inc. was a mobile home business that ceased operations in 1999.
“This lawsuit demonstrates our commitment to hold plan fiduciaries accountable when they abuse their position and do not protect the assets entrusted to them,” said Mabel Capolongo, director of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) office in Philadelphia that investigated the case.
Under a February 2, 2006 consent judgment entered in the federal district court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, Cathy Milder, co-owner of G&M Land Development and trustee of the pension plan, was required to restore the plan assets after a Labor Department investigation found the company in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Milder subsequently filed for personal bankruptcy.
In fiscal year 2005, EBSA achieved monetary results of $1.7 billion related to pension, 401(k), health and other benefits for millions of American workers and their families.
Repossession is the power of the creditor to take back goods
There are two types of loans: secured and unsecured. A secured loan is one that requires you to pledge something as collateral. For example, if you purchase a car, the creditor will usually require you to put up the car as collateral. On the other hand, an unsecured loan, does not require collateral. Using a credit card is usually an unsecured loan.
