It sounds like your bankruptcy is just about over. When you hire an attorney for a flat fee, you are only paying to use a certain amount of time to ask questions and address problems. The problem may be that you have used up the allotted time. You are free to hire another bankruptcy attorney at any time to get answers to your legal questions or to take over any work that may need to be done in your case. Expect to be billed at an hourly rate with a retainer fee equal to at least a couple of hours.

Do I have to repay a debt to a business that filed for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
Yes. You still owe the debt. In a Chapter 7, the Trustee could sue you for the debt. In a Chapter 11 with a Debtor in Possession, the Debtor (your creditor that is now in bankruptcy) could sue you for the money.

Can a lien be put into a bankruptcy?

You can certainly put the $8,000.00 lien onto the list of debts that you want to get rid of and the Court will routinely discharge it if you qualify for bankruptcy. I don't know how the plaintiff can get a judgment when they did not show up for court. You are right, it does appear improper. You could ask the court clerk for information about that. The plaintiff may have filed a subsequent lawsuit or a motion for summary judgment which made the court date unnecessary.
