The question you are asking is whether a particular debt is discharged by your past bankruptcy. There is no way to answer that question without more information. Contact your bankruptcy attorney for a consultation.

What is the name of the form to amend?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
You need to file an amended schedule, but which schedule depends on what kind of debt it is. Typically you will want to file an Amended Schedule F because that is the schedule for unsecured, non-priority creditors. However, you should check to see if the creditors that are calling you would fall into the category of an "unsecured non-priority" creditor (Schedule E) or a secured creditor (schedule D). There is a fee associated with filing a new schedule to add creditors, so be aware of the additional cost.

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

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.
