I filed for BK on 8/30/11 and attended my 341 meeting on 10/6/11. I now received a letter stating that I have a hearing regarding the reaffirmation agreement for my vehicle. My reaffirmation agreement was filled out properly and mostly would not be granted due to the fact it would create a financial hardship. Regardless, the date for the hearing is set on 12/8/11, but I will not be able to attend due to being overseas during that time frame for work. I've tried contacting the court to reschedule, but I don't seem to have that option in their automated system. I was on hold for over 2 hours for a live person, then I got disconnected, so I'm trying to research online as well.
On the letter I received, it mentions "Failure to appear may cause a possible delay with your discharge". What happens if I fail to appear? Delay sounds better than dismissal, but I don't want to be taking chances. And of course, failing to appear is not what I want to do, but I'm not sure what other options I have. I've contacted my lawyer, but since my 341 meeting, he hasn't been the easiest person to get a hold of and the assistants in the office haven't provided much help either.
What should I do? I want to make sure I exhaust all my options.
Thank you in advance.
