Port Arthur, TX Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

You are allowed to switch lawyers whenever you feel like it. Whether you SHOULD fire your attorney or not is never a clear-cut yes-or-no question. In figuring out whether you want to do that or not, don't focus on what they did or didn't do up to this point. Instead, ask yourself what else you think they should have done, or what you think you've paid them to do but that they haven't done. Then once you know VERY SPECIFICALLY what it is you think they were supposed to do but didn't, ask yourself whether the next lawyer is going to do those specific things or not.

To have the bankruptcy information removed from your credit report, you need to submit a dispute to the credit bureaus who are currently reporting that information. The dismissal paperwork that you should have received from the court and/or your bankruptcy attorney will serve as proof that you in fact did not receive a bankruptcy discharge and simply filed a petition for bankruptcy protection that was later dismissed. Your written disputes should be sumitted to the credit bureaus at the addresses found on their websites (they generally have a contact us tab on their websites). They will have 30 days to investigate your claim and update the information, so the change to your credit information may not happen over night, so the sooner you get this information corrected, the better. 

Your mortgage company probably filed a reorganization. Generally, your rights are unchanged. Consult with an attorney as to the specific facts of this case.
