I want to file bankruptcy but i have a few things that still have not gone on my credit yet and i do not want to wait for them to go on, to get on with my life.

can you refile a chapter 7 bankruptcy case after it was dismissed?

I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy case in kentucky. I did it all by myself because i couldn’t afford a lawyer. The reason it was dismissed is because i failed to take the credit counseling course within the time frame. (I didn’t know you had to wait 180 days after taking the test to file). Anyway, my question is how long do i wait to refile. do i have to wait 6 months from the time i filed or 6 months from the time it was dismissed? Seriously need help!

What can I do about a rude bankruptcy attorney who has made a couple of mistakes?

My husband and I have filed for ch. 13 bankruptcy in Texas. The attorney that he selected tends to range from nice to rude, especially when we don’t understand an issue. He tends to be a bit pompous when he responds to us. He missed one major creditor that had to be added in as an amendment (property taxes) and failed to calculate the correct amount of monies paid to creditors in the past 90 days. He saw the property tax statement and gave it back to me, and we didn’t add it in the worksheet. I gave him a list of creditors and amounts that we had paid in that time frame, but he only filed our statement of income showing one payment per creditor. Our meeting of creditors is in 20 days. I have considered firing him and getting another attorney. Can I get a refund on his fees from him? Is it possible to have another attorney review our bankruptcy paperwork (second opinion) before being finalized to make sure everything is correct before we find another mistake or the court finds one? Tks.
