Error on account number in filing

[jason0618]

My attorney filed for us on 3/26/08 and listed an account erroneously. Now I'm having issues.

It was for an account I had, that I paid off, on time, several months before filing. I also had another account with the same bank that I wanted to include in the bankruptcy. When preparing the paperwork for filing, he used the account number of the paid account, and neither he, nor I, caught the mistake, until the bank started reporting me 30 and 60 days late on my credit. I called my attorney, and he assured me, that, regardless of how the account number was listed, that it would discharge the correct debt. Is that correct, or am I gonna get stuck paying a debt I wanted to include?

Thanks.

I'm not one to simply sit by and simply take the attorney's assurances. We have a very BAD one, that's why. So I would INSIST that he/she correct the paperwork, even if you have to pay $26.00 to have the petition ammended. Having that little i dotted and t crossed for sure will make you feel a lot better.

Discharged yet??? If not have the attorney re-open the filing, delete the wrong account number and insert the correct account number, and have him call the cc outfit to fix their books.

I thought if you are filing a no asset C7, all debts you had prior to filing will be discharged.

Account numbers are not necessary in the filing actually. So yes in a sense the lawyer is correct. Ask him about amending the papers to include it so that it will be smoother sailing

Your attorney is right, this is a non-issue.
