Slutty Vegan's Pinky Cole Wins Fight Against Loganville Home Seizure

The judge ruled the seizure violated bankruptcy protections, depriving Cole of rental income crucial for repaying $1.4 million in debts, and ordered immediate return of the home.

  • On Thursday, a federal bankruptcy judge ordered Guardian Asset Management to return a Loganville home to Slutty Vegan founder Pinky Cole, ruling that the creditor's seizure violated the automatic stay.
  • Cole filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February, but Guardian subsequently seized the Loganville residence, ignoring the automatic stay that halts collection efforts once a petition is filed.
  • Records show Cole owes $1.2 million to the U.S. Small Business Administration and nearly $192,000 to the Georgia Department of Revenue; she sought to rent the property to generate income for reorganization.
  • "I feel vindicated," Cole told WSB-TV after the court ordered locks changed and the property returned. The judge determined the seizure deprived her of necessary rental income, hindering her ability to repay creditors.
  • Cole's attorneys are expected to present a reorganization plan to the court in the coming days, though it remains unclear whether Guardian will challenge the ruling or take further legal action.
