What am i giong to do?

[jessegirl]

I have a copy of my petition. Would I be allowed to make corrections and send it in?

jesse..your attorney is right. It would be pretty much a waste of time to send in an ammended schedule F. Even if you forgot to list creditors in your Matrix if you're filing a no-asset case everything is discharged.

Why ammend a petition or schedules when it isn't needed. When you amend your petition for something that really doesn't need to be it is just more work for the court clerk and the trustee. Does your trustee really want to have to go over your schedules again before your 341?

When in reality the changes aren't necessary. If creditors are forgotten in a no-asset case they are discharged. The only time it might be a problem is if you have assets that are going to be paid out. If they are forgotten or not notified than it would cause the creditor harm.

Even though your attorney does work for you. By pushing this issue you causing unnecessary work for not only them but also the trustee and court clerk.

Sorry, but I disagree. I understand that the debt *would* be discharged under the OP bk, but the forms should have been filled out correctly to begin with. This attorney works for her and I don't think it is a waste of time to send in the correct paperwork (which should have been done in the 1st place). Jesse, I think "Mi Bankruptcy" had a good suggestion, make a statement and have the attorney sign it...since they (the paralegal and attorney) are so confident that everything will be dischaged. This will cover you a** in the long run.

Good Luck.

I am going to send the paralegal a fax requesting that they add the creditors and see what she says then being its on paper now.. I love when you pay someone to do job for you and they make you feel like there doing you a favor.

Fax Schmax

Certified return receipt

Then take a copy of the paper you mailed and the receipt of them signing for it to the 341 along with all of the account info.

Even if it's not going to change whether or not the forms are correct so far as discharging the debt, the forms need to be filed correctly, IMO, to follow bankruptcy laws. IMO--and again, I filed pro se--the trustee needs an accurate 'snapshot' of your financial status and if the forms aren't accurate, then that has not been done. I personally filed a corrected SOFA because I forgot some info and made a math error...it may not have changed anything, but the way I understood the laws, the documents need to be correct. End of story.

If the attorney won't amend, I would either do it myself or I would bring the corrected forms with me to the 341 along with documentation that you requested the attorney to change the schedule...and that he or she refused to do so. If it were $1000, I might not worry but you said that it was 30K...that's a good chunk of $$$.

I am so sorry you are going through this. ((Hugs))

You can tell the trustee at your meeting too mine asked.

I could have sworn I posted my answer to this already.

If you don't have assets when you file C7 everything is discharged before your filing date.
