My guess is that no lawyer will take the case "pro bono". Therefore you'll have more lawyer fees built up than any amount that you expect to get back. I guess that (maybe) you can sue yourself in small claims court. However, face it, even if you sue she probably won't show up in court, even if you get a judgement she won't pay; and I doubt she has any wages that you can garnish and/or property that you can put a lien on.

This is most likely true...I would look into lawyer fees, and what that would be. If it's more than what you're going to make back, you could sue her to cover those costs too, however, like stated above, go to small claims court.

If her company and /or she get discharged in bankruptcy, there will be no claim to pursue in small claims court - or any oher court for that matter.

Don't think of it as an either-or deal. Once a discharge is granted, there is nothing else to pursue....unless you find an additional defendant who breached a duty to you.

Definitely don't send her an email thanking her for agreeing to book a much better cruise as an apology for making such a "heinous mistake," and then break into her house and book a month-long premium cruise on her credit card for whatever business still has one.

Hard to sue somebody who is in bankruptcy. Very hard to sue on a debt discharged in bankruptcy.

What he said. Once a bankruptcy court says that the person or company going bankrupt no longer owes the debt (a "discharge") - the other courts have to honor that court order...so you won't be able to sue her later for taking your money if a bankruptcy court has granted her a discharge and said "this debt is gone and you do not owe it anymore" (i.e. a "discharge")

If she files in bankruptcy court and you do not fight it when she lists you as one of her debts she wants the court to discharge - and the court lists your debt as discharged in an order - simply put she does not owe you anymore, and the fact that you did not fight it in bankruptcy court usually means you cannot fight in a local court later.

You can sue her, and she will just give that local small court judge a copy of the Federal bankruptcy judge's order that says the debt you are suing for has already been handled....and forgiven. Case closed, she wins.

All I am saying is do not ignore what is going on in the bankruptcy

So I'll get some kind of notice before it's officially discharged?

Supposedly, you will be notified if you are listed as a claim by the person filing the bankruptcy. Some people might (the 30 of you) say one should send a letter demanding proof that she send the funds to the cruise line, and that if the transaction error was her fault, advising her that y'all have claims for the amount of money that you lost, and that y'all demand she notify her insurer of the claims, and that she and her company list your claims if they pursue relief in bankruptcy....

I would never tell you that, as I don't give legal advise, don't know what your facts are, don't know the law where you reside or entered into the contract, and I have no intention of practicing law there. :paranoid:

In fact, I am just typing like the infinite amount of monkeys...
