I had to hire Carrie Hurtik to help with a BK. I hired her through my legal insurance at work. At the first consultation, I explained my situation and told her I needed to keep my car an to NOT include my car in the BK. She told me that she would just reaffirm my loan with the bank.

Replied last August 09, 2017I have practiced Bankruptcy Law since 1999, I always strive to do a good job for our clients. I do an initial consultation with the client prior to preparing the petition and after the petition is complete I review the petition with the client to ensure I have all creditors and everything is correct. This client was advised that it is not possible under the Bankruptcy Code to not list a debt you owe. All Debts must be listed. This was explained to him more than once. Additionally, the debtor has the right to reaffirm or not and in most situations would still be able to keep the vehicle if they continue paying the loan on the vehicle. Timing is important if a reaffirmation agreement is to be filed the client must sign prior to a discharge. This client did not always respond quickly and a reaffirmation agreement was not signed. However, I reopened the case and paid for the filing fees of $335.00 to do so, as the client wanted the reaffirmation agreement. Banks do not always send the reaffirmation agreements timely as well, but I not only allowed the client to pay a filing fee that was only $335.00 in payments over several months due to his situation, but reopened the case to file a one and paid an additional filing fee. However, the Judge has the right to allow a reaffirmation or not. In this situation, the Judge denied the motion as the Judge did not believe it was in the debtor's best interest to sign a reaffirmation agreement. All of the debtor's debts were discharged and he received his Discharge and Final Decree. I never argued with the Client, I merely advised him how the process worked, because he did not like the response he was angry. I am sincerely sorry that the client feels the way he does, but I attempted to contact him several times with no response and even though I explained the process he is not happy and does not understand. I do not want a client unhappy, but I did everything I was hired to do.
