I am about to get a Chapter 7 discharge, but there is one small problem. I neglected to declare a $9,000 asset on my Schedule of Assets and Liabilities. I had already discussed making some changes on the expense side of the ledger with my attorney and he refused to discuss it.
I had already decided to fire my attorney when I discovered a liquid asset I had hidden too well. I faxed the trustee because it was after my 341 hearing, but that was not an acceptable procedure. I attempted to hire a different attorney, but they were not interested in accepting my case for a $5,000 retainer. I attempted to file a number of motions, but because they were not standard form pleadings, the calendar clerk rejected them for not being consistent with the rules.
I believe I have managed to substitute myself as attorney of record, but I am not certain. I have attempted to file a motion for a continuance to retain counsel, but the subject heading on my motion was not acceptable to the calendar clerk. I then filed an amended motion for a continuance to retain counsel, file and amended schedule of assets and liabilities and possibly convert to a different chapter. I forgot to include an order, so the calendar clerk rejected it again.
I have filed a previous post on 6/28, Breach of Contract and Bankruptcy
I am reasonably certain I want to convert to Chapter 13, and it may be a requirement considering my newly discovered $9,000 asset. How do I get a continuance to avoid a Chapter 7 discharge that I am probably not entitled to if the calendar clerk rejects my pleadings?
I am going to try to file a third amended motion for a continuance and will include an order and I guess a request for a hearing, but I am not sure why a hearing would be necessary.
Any suggestions?
