Beling sued by Velocity

[IamOld]

bLING - had similar situation re my spouse's 13 - the atty sent - by mail - a copy of the automatic stay generated when he filed. If you have that - and/or can get it from pacer, you can also make/take it to the clerk of the court - mark it for the appropriate case and it will dismiss or "non-suit" your case.

Update: I checked pacer today and my attorney filed the amendment to add Velocity to my plan. I also called the local magistrate to see if the case had been dismissed and it is still showing active. So, I call the Velocity's attorney and again advise them to dismiss the law suit since the amendment to add them has been added. They said no problem. I know that I have 30 days to respond to the summons and I am keeping track b/c I don't want a default judgement on my credit reports even though they won't collect on it. I will give them until couple a days before the 30 day mark and if no response I am going to have my attorney contact them to dismiss the case.

Hello, all. Just joined because I'm going Chapter 7 pro se. drowning123, just to clarify your statement, do I just list the original creditors and not any subsequent collectors of the original debt? Thanks for your help.

Update: I called the court today and the lawsuit was withdrawn. Whew! So, it was taken care of the $26 to amend the chapter 13 plan.
