Posted by Apryl | May 08, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Lawyer filed a conversion too early, case was dismissed and would not give me a refund.

I was in a chapter 13 Bankruptcy which I was paying for a solid 2 years. I decided that it would be much more beneficial for me to do a conversion from a 13 to a 7. I had given Frank all of the information requested, paid all of the fees for a successful conversation. I had fully disclosed that in my... past I had already filed a chapter 7 and it needed to be exactly 8 years before we could file. He filed the conversion too early resulting in a dismissal of my request. Now that the time has passed and it is truly with-in the time frame he wants me to pay more attorney fees and another court filing fee. I feel that it was his mistake and oversight in the error which caused the dismissal. I requested a refund for the fees that I had paid and was told no that they are nonrefundable. At the very least a refund should have been given so I could have used that for the refiling fee and attorney fees re requested.
