DRAMA
Ok, so back in January I hired this lawyer to handle this. I made all my payments to him on time. Now, it has been about 2 weeks since the last payment, and not a word from him, so I called his office. First, let me say, this lawyer, once I made the agreement, changed from Mr. Kissass to Mr. InYourFace. Ok, I just figured that is how they do things. So, anyway, I call his office, and his assistant answers. I explain who I am, and that I needed to find out about this counseling class you have to take before you file. She proceeds to lecture me that the instructions are in thr Memorandum I was given when I signed the agreement. There are no such instructions, and I tried to explain that to her, but she was adamant, to put it nicely, that those instructions were there. Finally, I told her I would bring the paperwork down and show her, but she told me that she would have the lawyer call when he got in. After an hour or so, he calls. He then tells me he wants me to apologize to his assistant for being rude. ???? I'm confused? I explain the entire call, but he still tells me I have to apologize. He said that HE wanted me to do this. Now, I'm thinking, what the heck? Needless to say, I'm starting to smell a scam. I was never rude, maybe a little frustrated, but not rude, and even if I was, whoever heard of anything like that? So, I said fine, I'll apologize if she felt I was rude, and he transferred me. So, she gets on the phone, I tell her I'm sorry if she felt I was rude, and she actually laughed and told me to have a nice day. And then she hung up. Never transferred me back to the lawyer, and he still hasn't called with the info. I am afraid to call, so I sent him an email requesting this info. I think I'd prefer all communication this way from now on, so I have a permanent record. But could this be possible, that this guy may actually work for the creditors, and that once they have you, they drag it out, and then get you so pissed off you just fire them? I'm really worried now, because I can't afford to do this again.

. You can't go into bankruptcy with a lawyer you can't trust. However I"m not sure how you could get your money back
