But you should still nail him in civil and criminal court for all of it.

Credit cards are more than just credit and intrest payments. They are purchasing insurance and a firewall to your bank account.
The CC company generally doesn't want to rule in favor of their client unless its a clear case. Its just money out of the CC companies pocket.
The scammer typically never hears of the decision nor pays for anything. The scammer still gets to keep the money.

Yea they said the reason they ruled in favor of myself, was because VRT could not show proof that the work that i paid to have done, was done. So they had no choice!

^^^BINGO!!!
Best way to get back at VRT is to use the city attorney's office. If we sue, we might win but get nothing since he filed BK.
If the police and city attorney start investigating, there's no slithering away from the penalties. He may do time, he may not, but he's convicted of fraud. That's a big deal.

you should also contact the police departments fraud unit. Your credit card company should have advised you of that also. If you have a police report and there is an active investigation it weighs favorably for you with the credit card fraud investigators.
good luck D!

I had no intention of even starting up a shop at that time, so it was not to persuade them to be my customers at all. I was just trying to do what was right.
Congrats on the small victory dozzer

Haha I got an email from VRT today. I had sent them an email a week or so ago and this is their response. Seems like they really care about their reputation and what their company did to people. 
"I don't know who you are but I never stole from anyone. I don't appreciate being accused of that. Mike Alvarez is no longer associated with VRT.
I think it's really sad that people have nothing better to do than go on stupid forums and talk trash about people they don't even know. I don't care about the forums because I get several leads a day. I wish people in this industry would just grow up.
