Justin, I partially agree.
A class action is actually counter-productive in this case because, as you mention, the more that pile on the more likelihood of a BK filing. I have been in 2 similar situations actually with much larger dollars at stake so I do have some bckgrd here. You do want to push just hard enough to try to get some money out, but if you push too hard, and you pile on the plaintiffs, you may all get nothing. It's a case like this where I think "strength in numbers" backfires and is detrimental to the individual cause.
But the stronger individual threats, whether they carry any weight or not, should do a lot more to get a guy paid back than the guy who is silent and sends a polite email once in awhile. Squeeky wheel gets the grease?
If the company is intent on staying in business, and in this case it certainly appears so, an individual suit for $5 or 10k won't take them down.
