Finally paid the attorney fees in full....now

[waitinggame]

Hello everyone,

I am ready now to get on with the rest. Finally got the attorney paid in full. Was informed on where and how to do the Credit Counciling. The receptionist also said.... they are sooo back logged and busy with other filers, it could be weeks until we get a meeting with the paralegal to get the ball rolling. If the creditors still call - refer them to us.

This is why I paid the fees in full. I am trying to avoid the calls from coming. I really don't want them to call me at work - and I am afraid of getting any kind of papers served.

Has anyone else run into problems getting started because of the attorneys office being "overrun" with workload? Any advise? I am really worried about my job finding out what is happening.

Do you mean it will be awhile before you can do the credit counciling? You can take that anywhere. I did mine over the phone. There are some you can do online. They email you a certificate to show your attorney to verify that you completed it.

Sorry, no the receptionist at the attorney's office said about the wait. She didn't tell me anything about what I will need - I have already given alot of things, paystubs, bills, etc. She just said to complete the counciling and she would be in contact with me. It could take weeks for the paralegal to go through my file.

Once they call and you give them your attorney info the calls usually stop. Just tell them you are in the process of filing, what chapter and your lawyers name and number. I haven't had a call since I told my creditors back in April and I just signed my papers to actually file earlier this week!
