I just filed...

[tobee43]

so is today your birthday? If so, happy birthday and congratulations on your filing and deposition.

Today is my birthday too, and we just returned from having a nice outing where i had oysters on the half-shell and grilled shrimp--things we rarely, if ever, do any more. So go and treat yourself today; you more than deserve it!

happy birthdaysssssssss!!!

....that was like the LONGEST 40 hours ever...it seem to me...i just didn't want to say it!!

Hey, not only to you! Yesterday afternoon, I called the paralegal to make sure all documents were complete. Since he was on the line already, I thought "OK, why shouldn't I file right away?" I should call him again an hour later to obtain the case-#. He was so busy yesterday that he wasn't able to do the filing in that our so I told him he should file in the morning and asked him when he would have the case-#. He said 9 o'clock. So I called after 9:00 AM. No case-#. He now told me that I would receive a call from the second paralegal on my case. She would arrive in about 30 minutes and would file it right away. After 45 Minutes, the phone rang. What a relieve! It was her. She actually filed the case WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE. I got the case-# and an e-mail - a copy of the official notification from PACER where I already signed up a couple of weeks ago.

Considering the deposition at 1:00 PM, that was perfect timing..

Yes, it really is - so Happy Birthday to you as well.

OMG, oysters and juicy shrimp - sounds delicious!

We don't go out today but we bought some great filet and my mum is going to cook her famous Boeuf Stroganoff. Better than in any Restaurant....Hmm, yummy..

And tomorrow, we can continue celebrating because it's my mum's birthday..

Thank You, folks!

No, the deposition is NOT part of the BK-process. I got a Subpoena from Chase for a deposition. That is the result of a judgement by them against me. It's already the second time I have to go there - they are obviously doing that on an annual basis. So this time, they scheduled it right around noon - on my birthday. I was going to file anyway so I thought...why shouldn't I turn this deposition into a birthday-party?

I commend you for your self control. You definitely are the bigger person, I doubt I would have not gone for the jugular had I been in your shoes.

Yeah, it always depends on the situation and how the deposition goes - and especially, how you are treated. If both parties are laughing during the process (due to the bad phone-line, there were some misunderstandings that were really funny), it is hard to be nice and answer the next question in a "that's none of your business"-style (and yes, there were some questions about family members which weren't necessarily tied to my financial circumstances).

When she was informed that I filed, she wished me good luck for my future. When I was driving home, I thought to myself that I might have been too polite but in the end, I came to the conclusion that the people you are usually dealing with are only doing their job and IF they are friendly and treat you with respect, there is noch real need to treat them badly.

As usual, the ones that truely deserve a kick in their butt are waaaay out of reach for people like you and me.

So, the deposition was easy. Almost too easy because the lady asking the questions was too friendly to be mean to her. So I simply answered her questions (took 15 minutes - at most. I knew I didn't have to but also knew that any information obtained couldn't be used in the first place) and at the end, informed her about my filing. Well, that was it. No huge "bam" - it simply wasn't appropriate this time.

By filing so shortly before the deposition, I might get lucky and they start the deposition without knowing that I filed. I'll let you know how it turned out...

Congrats on filing! It does get easier from here.

I didn't have to go to deposition, so I'm not sure what that is about.
