    Getting nervous

    Our slow as molasses attorney--we had everything in to him back right before christmas--is finally supposed to file the end of this week. His paralegal called the end of last week needing our january paystubs and said it should be filed the end of this week.

    It seems like forever we've been waiting for him to file. He'd initially said 2-3 weeks and it's turned in to 6 or 7. In this interim I've started to do a little bit of work for my wife's brother, and was worried about that. The attorney just said let him know when I got a check, which I did, and he said not to worry about it, we had plenty of room left on our shcedules to absorb it. I guess we should trust him, but still I worry about it becoming an issue at our 341.

    And as it becomes close to being really real and final, my wife worries about her employer finding out and it impacting her ability for promotion. Her boss is set to retire in about a year, and she has been designated as his replacement in their succession planning, but she worries it might make her ineligible.

    Just a kind of nail-biting, nerve wracking time in one sense, coupled with a sense of relief that we're on our way and this is closer to being behind us and we can build a stronger, better financial future.

    DebtorDan, I think you're right in that place just before filing where everything looks the bleakest and hardest, and the slow atty isn't helping at all. I wish you the very best and hope it sails through without a hitch!!!

    BTW, unless your wife's employer pulls random credit bureaus on her, or she has accts with the company she works for that are a part of the bk, she has no reason to worry. The only other way they'd know is if she discussed it at work, so maybe hold off on that a while...

    Good luck!!!!
    Nolo Press book on filing Chapter 7, there are others too. (I have no affiliation with Nolo Press; just a happy customer.) Best wishes to you!
