Go to their website and look at the names and businesses. Pretty easy to decide if you would like to do business with this group. Just like the Road Dog gas station.

The company has more than 100,000 creditors.<BR/><BR/>Sirva filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan after reaching a deal with its lenders to cut its debt by some $200 million.<BR/><BR/>Under the company's "prepackaged" bankruptcy plan, Sirva's lenders will trade a portion of the debt they're owed for a 75 percent stake in the reorganized company. Existing shares in the company will be canceled.<BR/><BR/>Sirva has lined up a $150 million loan to fund its Chapter 11 case and an additional $215 million in financing for when it exits bankruptcy protection. Under the deal, the company's bankruptcy lenders, led by JPMorgan Chase (nyse: JPM - news - people ) Bank, will receive an additional 25 percent stake in the reorganized company.<BR/><BR/>In addition to its heavy debt load, the company's relocation services business has been slammed by the downturn in the U.S. housing market.<BR/><BR/>"Specifically, declining home prices have increased the number of homes the debtors have been required to purchase and subsequently sell for a loss," Sirva said in court papers.<BR/><BR/>Details about the company's deal with lenders was contained in Sirva's prepackaged Chapter 11 plan. Under a prepackaged bankruptcy filing, a company files its Chapter 11 plan along with its initial petition, having already agreed to the terms of its restructuring with lenders.<BR/><BR/>The company said it intends to stay in business during its bankruptcy case and expects to exit Chapter 11 in two to three months.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Copyright 2007 Associated Press.
