Contact trustees office directly?

[charmd]

My attorney told me last year when I received my confirmation that back property taxes were included even though it did not say so on my paperwork.
He advised when I get my yearly statement from the trustee to let him know if the payment was not listed.

Of course the payment is not listed and no payments made to the county. I contacted him and he said the trustee will need to be contacted by his office and correct the situation.

I have not heard back (it has been about 2 weeks). The office normally does not call me back but I get something in the mail. My payments increased by $335 to cover this expense.

Thoughts? Should I just keep calling the attorneys office?
Can I contact the trustees office directly or is that against the rules??

Keep calling your attorney's office. The trustee is an opposing party. A party represented by an attorney should never contact an opposing party directly unless advised to do so by their attorney.

ETA: Instead of calling your attorney, you might try writing a letter enclosing a copy of the trustee's yearly statement and confirming that he told you on ____, 2011 that his office would contact the trustee to make sure the property taxes get paid and asking that he let you know when the issue has been resolved.

Thanks Lady In The Red,

I'll send a letter as well. I did scan and email over the statement from the trustee showing how the amount is listed as being paid directly by me.
I think a letter would be good since I do have the attorneys email from 2010 confirming the back property tax is in the plan and my new payment amount.

I try not to get frustrated and over react since most of the people on this forum say that their attorneys don't contact them right away either, but it is hard.

Thanks again

I have to agree and disagree. Confusing? Yes but my lawyer was of such no use, I became as asset case, I called to make contact as to a "workout". The man said, (A disclaimer) Mr. "Hub", are you doing this contact with knowledge of pro se and on your own account? (Or words of that sort) and I acknowledged and we talked civilly, and amiable. It was not problem. I later took my lawyer to task with a Motion to fire her and go pro se, although at that time, the Judge told me I was technically through and it would prolong my case. I rescinded on the Judges advise, but it cost my no account lawyer a day in Court. LOLOL. 'Hub
