A list of thirteen creditors to whom Darnell owes money are sent a notice about the bankruptcy case.

The long running lawsuit brought by customer Sandy Sheldon against the failed Prodigy Restoration Group is still going on.  Darnell tried to avoid taking responsibility for stealing nearly $10,000 from us by closing Prodigy Restoration Group, an action that also left customer Sheldon with no option but to go after Brian Darnell himself.  Unfortunately Darnell is much more skilled at avoiding responsibility than he is at completing a job he’s been paid for.
