Creditors with claims against PreVu Inc., the retailer formerly known as Wilsons the Leather Experts Inc., filed a petition in federal court to force the company into bankruptcy.

Eleven of the petitioning creditors are affiliates of General Growth Properties Inc., a nationwide mall operator and PreVu landlord.
