Hi I hired an atty on Oct 20113 to file a chapter 7 discharge petition, Fastforward to Jan 29th
and now we are on approximately the 4 341a meet that has been rescheduled. At 230pm I received a call from former atty[ he became former because he asked more money ] and treated us horribly after he got his fee for filing the chapter 7. never returned calls if he did they were 1 week later - Hed send an email once in awhile. Anyways this atty said the trustee would talk w us a few min before his court opened at 8am so we would know he wasnt goig to run off w our money. I told him I never thought this all I thought is I dont hand the kind of money over to anyone with a receipt and an agreement of said fees.
Trustee was upset to see us -- we just told him we didnt understand why he kept continuing the meetings we were willing to give him money and move on. He insinuated that he tried to call us on this fact and we never returned his call ! Lied a few times -
I got home and started looking for an atty that could help us get a formal negotiation out of him or just have this whole nightmare be dismissed since I had until feb 3rd to do this .
I found Ivan - he convinced me we could only save our home from trustee by changing our 7 to a 13 . I was reluctant /, I emailed him a few times where i spoke about being concerned of chapter 13 and it not at our best interest and if he could approach trustee and have him agree with a price that be great.
So long story shortened on march 5th I grabbed my mail out of box and there was a letter dated from feb 19th from bk courts on it is said we were awarded chapter 7 bankruptcy and we have no more debt it is wiped clear. I was puzzled now for sure - Ivan never told me any of this why in the hell would he submit a venue change when I was awarded such a thing ? I proceeded to go to his office and ask him what the letter meant -- well it says you got chapter 7 debt discharged but not to solely believe that letter because the bk courts regularlly send out forms by accident and then realizing the accident send out the debtor didnt receive it .
I was way suspicious with this story. I asked him how did you change my venue and not see this in the computer he said oh I sent an email over only. I said i would like a copy of this sent to me since he didnt forward anything to from when he did any changes to my current bk 7
I had him reverse the 13 and of course he implied on the form that w changed our minds and have decided to let the 7 go back through. then on all this he doesnt want to give me any of my money back - his payment was for a 5 year term to represent in bankruptcy 13 - not filling out 6 different forms and a week of really even working on it ever so often . His bill is now like 7400.00
is this effin legal and do I have a chance in snowball hell against this pos ?? Thank you
