Peter David Grubea

You will never get to speak to Mr. Grubea about issues regarding poor handling of your case, only to one of his staff that you never met. At the end of my bankruptcy I had to keep calling the office to get them to finalize the bankruptcy by sending a simple form out regarding child support I do not o...we, which from what I understand is a formal document required to end all bankruptcies. That took a long time to get done after several phone calls to office staff. After working to establish credit I purchased a new car and think things are going well. Then I receive a bill 8 months after my bankruptcy was finalized for over $78,000 with over $19,000 in interest! After my bankruptcy is finalized and I get this bill from someone I never heard of a lawyer I never met told me he explained student loans can not be discharged in bankruptcy (and in certain circumstance they can Mr. Grubea). I was told when I filed bankruptcy my student loans were dischargeable due to them being sold twice to private lenders and my being offered a $5000.00 loan many years after I graduated to use on anything I wanted not related to educational purposes. I was able to have my student loan discharged during my bankruptcy under the student loan forgiveness program but since it was (supposedly) discharged in bankruptcy I did not qualify. The attorney I dealt with is no longer with the firm and another lawyer I never met tried telling me this was discussed when I filed, it was not. I would have never filed bankruptcy if this wasn't included or at least would have made payments to not get a surprise like this! Now after bankruptcy I owe $20,000.00 more than when I filed. When I tried to rectify this with Mr. Grubea's office I was basically told to pound salt and just pay the bill. Now I have to hire a real lawyer to rectify this. Consultation, advise, and assistance post-discharge is too poor to risk having something like this happen to you. I am by no means rich and can not afford this unforeseen bill. I REPEAT, I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS WAS NOT DISCHARGED, IN FACT I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE IT WAS. I WAS TOLD "ALL" MY DEBTS WERE CLEARED. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!
