by Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect a more accurate listing of creditors and amounts owed, most notably those named on the unsecured creditor’s list for TRP Brands, the e-commerce segment of the retailer’s business. The previous version of this story was based on incorrect information in the initial Feb. 2 court filing.
CHICAGO — Two separate groups of Top 20 unsecured creditors in The RoomPlace Chapter 11 bankruptcy have nearly $9.9 million in claims, according to bankruptcy documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The retailer filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 2. The top unsecured creditors identified in related documents are among more than 200 overall impacted by the bankruptcy.
An unsecured creditor is typically a supplier or credit card company that does not hold a lien on a debtor’s property which, in turn, would help assure payment. A secured creditor, such as a bank, typically holds a lien on the debtor’s property as collateral.
The creditors are identified in two separate lists, including one for The RoomPlace furniture and bedding. This first list includes claims totaling $5,873,600.
