Where things stand
Chapter 7 is a liquidation: Reborn is closed and will not finish jobs, and the trustee, Ricardo Palacio, collects whatever the companies own. The parent's filing lists liabilities of $100 million to $500 million against almost no assets, so a bankruptcy distribution is likely to be small. California has no recovery fund, but every licensed contractor posts a license bond, and homeowners can claim against it. The bond is one fixed amount shared by every claimant, so file early. The Contractors State License Board also takes complaints against the license.
What a customer can do, in order
- Card payments first. If any payment went on a credit or debit card, call the issuer and open a dispute for services not rendered. The bankruptcy does not stop a chargeback; the card network's clock does.
- File the proof of claim. If a case is open, the court will mail a notice with a bar date. Official Form 410 is free, no lawyer needed. A deposit for household services is a priority claim up to $3,800 for cases filed on or after April 1, 2025; mark the priority box and attach the contract and receipts.
- The state path. California has no fund but licensed contractors post a bond: bond amount, commonly $25,000 (confirm current figure). The California page has the license lookup, the deposit rule, and the small-claims cap. Note: a licensing complaint and a fund claim are not stopped by the bankruptcy stay in most states because they run against the license, not the debtor's assets; confirm with the agency.
- Subcontractor notices. A sub who served a 20-day preliminary notice can lien your home even if you paid the contractor in full. The defense is the preliminary notice itself: if none was served, the lien right is lost. Ask for it in writing.
- Financing. If the contractor arranged a loan, write to the lender. A lender on a contractor-arranged consumer loan generally takes the loan subject to the claims you have against the contractor (the FTC Holder Rule); ask for a stop on payments while the claim is resolved.
