I am now fighting with the attorney who represents the trustee over how much they should be paid on their "administrative claim"
I took my case to trial. We won and I was awarded $40,000.00 in attorney's fees from Heritage Pacific Financial. They could not prove that they could "reasonably rely" on the loan paper work.
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel agreed with me that this rule was not consistent with the bankruptcy code
