Posted by Polly | March 31, 2017 | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Does not understand the New Bankruptcy Laws

Mr Wells filed a Chapter 13 and then filed Chapter 7. He was informed of my financil circumstances. This cost me more money than I had. I had a Bankrupcy Hearing on 12/08. I gave Mr Wells the needed Form 23 , Certificates for the Debtor Class & Education Class. Which he did not file. So 18 months la...ter I am told it will cost me an additional $260.00 to file to reopen the case and $550.00 for him to prepare the needed forms. Stategic Counsle, Wells and Associates, all firms that he worked under during the time I hired him, Mr Wells does not return calls ,answer emails in a timely manner. I recevied a Notice form the courts stating the case is not closed because he did not file the needed form #23 and Certificates, which were handed to him personally.You sign an agreement / Pay the Laywer in full and the Lawyer does not do his job properly.His knowledge of the Laws

The facts stated were determined to be false and it was determined that the client failed to follow the written instructions given the client by her attorney, as well as the instructions provided by the Trustee assigned to the case and the written in instructions from the Bankruptcy Court.
