From my previous threads, some of you may already know my situation. We are filing C-7 because of a civil judgment filed against us by my dad. We own 2 homes, one in IL one in WI. My dad has put a lien on the IL house. Tried to sell the house in IL to pay him back but no sale, so we filed C-7.
Had our 341, where my dad's lawyer showed up to ask questions regarding our means test. A few days later UST filed a "statement of presumed abuse" and asked for additonal documents (bank statements, check register, etc.).
We finally talked to our lawyer today and he told us that the trustee did not understand at our 341 that we were an asset case (IL being the asset) and because there is a lien on the house in another state the trustee probably didn't want to deal with the house. He said that the trustee did not understand that in our district those judgments get thrown out and therefore the lien is null and void and the trustee can do what they want with the IL house. Anyway, he had lunch with his lawyer friend and she is going to talk to the trustee and explain our situation. As of now we are a No Asset Meansyes case. He wants that changed to an asset case meansno. It is a crap shoot at this point. Not much more we can do but sit and wait, I guess.
