Our (chapter 13 bankruptcy) attorney failed to subimit documents to the court. He directly lied to us and told us that he did. We’re in the last year of bankruptcy and in need of purchasing a car. He told us almost 3 weeks ago that he submitted the papers to the court and then admitted to my husband today that he didn’t. What recourse do we have? Thanks in advance…

And just for everyone’s edification… it was not because we had out of control debt. It was because we had a child that was born with extensive medical needs far and beyond our insurance and the fact that I needed to stop working for 3 years. It was all medical debt.
Thanks in advance…

I filed for Bankruptcy in California in 2004. I have just found out when trying to refinance that there is an abstract judgment filed in 2001 in Orange County. 2 part question, Should/Can I file a motion to re-open the chapter 7 and try to include the judgment and have removed? approx cost? The judgement was for ,500. I need the lowest cost option to remove the abstract judgment/lien.
Do I have any recourse on my title insurance because I wasn’t aware when I purchased my home in 2008 there was an outstanding judgment and was under impression the BK included everything? (The BK was due to medical emergency at the time, orginal BK attorney no longer has paperwork)
