How do I file bankruptcy if I'm on SS disability but still do not have enough money to pay my bills?

It may still be possible to file bankruptcy. I suggest you consult with a bankruptcy attorney to discuss the details of your situation.

Can I fire my attorney and get a refund since they did not notify me 30 days in advance as agreed if they had sent it to the right address?

You can fire your attorney if you like but you will not be entitled to a refund for work that has already been performed. You may have a case for malpractice against you if it would have made a difference to your case had you received notice of the foreclosure at an earlier time. Frankly, this story does not entirely hold water for a couple of reasons 1) the court, not your attorney, also notifies you of any pending matter regarding a foreclosure, and 2) the creditor is obligated to inform you about a foreclosure sale. Maybe the mailman is the real person to blame?

If I got a subpoena in the mail, can I file bankruptcy without implicating my spouse?

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
A subpoena requires you to testify. Subpoenas are served on witnesses that aren't involved in the lawsuit. For example, if you're standing on a corner and see one car run the red light and hit a pedestrian - you would be a witness in the lawsuit of the pedestrian (plaintiff) against the driver (defendant). As a witness, you'd probably get a subpoena to testify - the plaintiff and defendant are parties to the lawsuit and wouldn't get subpoenas. Did you actually receive a "summons". A summons notifies the defendant that a lawsuit has been filed against him/her and that he/she has to file an answer within a specific time. In any case, filing bankruptcy can't make your spouse liable on a separate debt of yours.
