I gave my Lawyer ,250.00 deposit for my personal bankruptcy and ,750.00 for my business bankruptcy I gave him everything he asked for with in one day or less. I got a case number for my personal after 13 months then it was dismissed in less the one month later do to him not filing a few documents. This has been going on for 16 months I now have several liens on my house.
On 4/25 I hired a lawyer (and paid agreed upon amount) to file bankruptcy for me. He stated that he would be able to file within a day of completing paperwork. On 5/12 all paperwork completed and necessary classes taken, the next week he would not answer or return my calls. Secretary stated he filled banktuptcy over weekend. Finally spoke to him and he said it was filled but his computer down so cant give me case number. I searched the bankrupcty (pacer) website, it has not been filed. He won’t answer or return my calls that I have made. And his secretary told me she can’t help she doens’t know whats going on and that I am in the same boat as three other clients. He won’t answer phone or return my calls.What should and can I do? I need to file bankruptcy ASAP. thanks for any imput
I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy a few days ago,ok. I have paid my fee’s in full so does that mean im good, im in bankruptcy until I go to court and get discharge, they dont have to approve it do, they and if they do should my attorney have told me if I didnt have enough debt first, and tell them that they wont approve it. I havent extablished any new debt in about a year, and i got to much so fast that it over welmed me, so I couldnt pay any of it. I have been leting it ride until I had the money to pay my attorney in full so i could get a case number, so i should be good right since my attorney took my money
My husband and I turned in all my paperwork and have paid a lawyer for chapter 7 bankruptcy. I first completed and turned everything in to the lawyer in May, but when I called him at the end of June he told us that he needed more check stubs when we turned everything in already. Now it’s almost September and we haven’t heard anything back from him. So we called his office and he told us that he will file in the morning and need more check stubs from us, but he will still file. So he told me to call for the case number in the morning and when I called he still didn’t file and that was three days later. We paid him and we turned in our paperwork months ago. What should we do? We live in St. Louis, Missouri, is there any advice someone can give my husband and I??
My check stubs were up to date, we went into his office and signed all the necessary paperwork and he said there was nothing else needed. He was suppose to file with the court months ago. But twice he has made up turn in more check stubs because of him not filing with the courts when he promised us. He has never given us one call, we always had to call and get a update or see if anything was missing. At one time they couldn’t even find our paperwork and we had to give them stuff we turned in already, it’s just a mess and starting to stress me out.
I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on April 20, 2010. Every single creditor was notified of the filing, including the creditor being represented by NCO financial. Despite this NCO financial engaged in very harassing and nasty behavior. When I did not pick up the phone, they never left any message and hung up. They used different phone number each time to do that. When I called them back, I kept getting a message, "Please hold. All our lines are very busy". I kept holding for almost 20 minutes and this same message was repeated.
I hung up. Then i called back again and was put on hold for a very long time. A rude man came on the line saying I have to pay 0 immediately and it must be resolved right now. I said I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. He said he needed proof that I filed it and will not go by my word, so I must pay. I hung up.
Then 20 minutes later another call from NCO financial came where they left no message. By now I found my bankruptcy case number. I called them back and was again put for a long hold. Then i told the agent (this time it was another rude man) i filed chapter 7 and have case number too.
After telling him the case number he responded, "we still have to verify this. its not enough. what is the phone number and address of your lawyer?" I gave them the address and phone number of my lawyer. Then he asked, "what is the zip code of the office". I said, "i’m sorry I can’t recall the zip code but you can check it on google"
He then said, "you are not complying and we will call again". By then I hung up the phone being fed up.
he made zip code a big issue. This was cruel on his part.
