Why are they bothering me 8 months later

[lynk23]

Hi, just had a question. Any advice would help. I was discharged from chapter 7 in march of 2004. Before I was discharged, I was asked to surrender about 1000 dollars to my trustee. This was from a tax refund, a security deposit on my apartment, and money that was in my bank account. My lawyer never told me any of this prior to the trustee requesting it. I sent many letters to my lawyer proving the money in my bank account was wrong, and I sent them the 200 dollars for my security deposit. I never sent my tax check, because they never told me where this money was going, even though I asked on several occassions. That bothered me. None of my creditors had filed any proof of claims. I only had about 15,000 dollars worth of debt. I haven't heard anything from anyone until recently. My trustee's lawyer sent me a letter stating she wanted the monies that were supposed to have been surrendered. As I said before, I had already sent the two hundred dollars, and proved otherwise about the money in my bank account. Now I got a letter today that my creditors have until march of 2005 to sumit their proof of claim to any of my debts. This is a year later, when none of them did in the first place. What can she do if I don't pay her the money from my tax returns, and what should I do about the missing two hundred dollars??????? I have ample records of everything I've ever done. Can she reverse my discharge this long after it happened? Especially since my originally money that I sent is missing? I'm very apprehensive about sending anyone any more money........ Please help...don't know what to do.

thanks

Your lawyer probably should have at least told you it could happen, and usually the trustee will mention that there is at least the possibility that they will take your tax refund.

Usually, money taken from the bank account is based on the bank statements you supplied to the trustee, not anything your lawyer did or did not do.

The role of the trustee is essentially as advocate for your creditors, so the trustee is not your friend.

The long and short of it is, you better comply, because if you don't you BK could be dismissed, and all the debts listed in the BK become non-dischargable.

Don't play around with the Trustee. If you need to pay, do it quickly or start sending CHUNKS now.
