I did forget it was on this date only because I became aware of a criminal case that was filed against me and the court date was on the same day. If I missed that one they would have issued a bench warrant. It was scheduled for 8:30 am and the bankruptcy 341 meeting was at 11:00 am.

The case went sour and the best offer I received from the state (Alabama) was Felony 2nd degree Assault and 2 counts of Reckless Endangerment with Youthful Offender status. They filed a civil suit in 04 for insurance premiums, traveling expenses, and pain & suffering. My attorney advises me that they will most likely win the suit due to the fact that I plead guilty. I have paid restitution on the actual proven costs (insurance deductibles, other expenses). What he tells me is they have me on the pain & suffering. The suit states at the end "in an amount to be set by the jury", which could be anything. My attorney tells me Chapter 7 will eliminate the debt if I lose but wants me to file prior to trial.

The only income I have is the unemployment check which is $200.00 per week. I have spoke several times with my lawyer but he is refusing to readjust to the weekly income I am now receiving. His secretary tells me the only thing he can do is for me to give over my car, then he will readjust the weekly payments. He is refusing the readjust my payments after I have requested for a payment change.
