It means a mess. I just received 2 bankruptcy notices from lenders in my clients' cases. I am trying to figure out what that means with respect to a stay of proceedings, objections to claims, and the like. If you are just making payments and have no problems with the lender, it probably means nothing. Just make a written record of payments, etc. Keep copies of everything that you send.

Is there a time limit to get a case number after you have retained a lawyer to avoid creditor contact?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
The case number is issued after your case has been filed. If you hired an attorney solely to avoid creditor contact, and not to file a bankruptcy, there would not be a case number. If you did hire them to file bankruptcy, then the time period depends on what you and the attorney agreed to.  What does it say in your retainer agreement?  Have you provided the attorney all the requested documentation and information for them to prepare your case?  Have you paid all the fees?   I am not really sure what your issue is and there's too much missing information to guess.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

What can I do if I can't afford chapter 13 payment and my attorney won't help?

Answered by attorney Carl C Silver (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carl C. Silver Attorney at Law
Write a letter to your bankruptcy Judge that the attorney you paid to do your 13 will not talk to you or process your case. He will wish he never heard of you but I am sure the Judge will get on him or her and make them do their job or face Court sanctions. It sounds like your plan has not yet been confirmed. If your case gets dismissed before it is confirmed, the chapter 13 trustee will probably send the money to your attorney. The procedure for this varies from one Bankruptcy Court to the next. Call your chapter 13 trustee. First tell the chapter 13 trustee that your attorney refuses to do work on your case. Then ask the chapter 13 trustee what happens to your money if dismissed after confirmation. They know it is your money, so you may be able to get it sent to you. If you didn't pay much to start, your attorney who won't work for you will probably just take the money and claim he earned it. After your plan is confirmed, the chapter 13 trustee will disburse the money. Most will probably go to your present attorney for fees initially.
