My attorney is an idiot!

[Help!]

I'm not really sure what I am looking at or for on pacer but I did check it out earlier. It does show that yesterday three new douments were added but my status still says awaiting first meeting (or something like that)
I still have the emails that he sent me saying that I don't have to go. He even forwarded an email from the trustee saying that she would contact him if she needed anything else. So I don't know what to do. Thanks for your input.

There should be a link after you query your SS# that says "Deadline/Schedule". Click on the link and you should see the 341 scheduled for Monday with a date under "satisfied" or "terminated" if the hearing was canceled or rescheduled. You can call the BK court clerk and ask if you're still on the schedule as well. Again, no matter what your attorney has told you by email, your case can be dismissed if you're on the schedule and you don't show! Don't take any chances!

[Confused78]

Ok - it's good that the amendment was filed. Now, do you or do you not have a 341 hearing on Monday? Check the "Schedule/Deadlines" screen on PACER. If your 341 hearing does not say "satisfied" or "terminated", call the attorney again and tell him that you're still on the schedule and you plan to attend the 341 hearing. That should get his attention.

This is what it has under there...

Does any of this make any sense to you? I don't understand it all. It looks to me like I still need to be there? Also I took my last online required course should that be showing up on there?

It's not showing a date under satisfied or terminated. It also has my time down as 12:00 on the 2nd when they told me to be there at 2:00. Now what do I do?

[Confused78]

Ok I just checked on the court schedule online and it still has me as needing to be there at 12:00 (NOT 2:00 like I was told) they first said 12:00 and then said it was changed to 2:00 with all the other people he is there for.

This is the email he sent me...


xxx-

This is the email from xxxx xxxx. You do NOT have to appear at the 341 meeting on 2/2/09. Honest. Really.

Please send me an email confirming you got this message.

xxx

(the email he attached from the trustee)
Dear xxxx,

I received the documents and amendments on the above referenced debtor. The debtor does not need to reappear on 2/2/09. I will review the documents and if I need anything further, I will contact your office.

Thanks

xxxx

So what would you all do? What do you make of this? Should I email him, telling him that pacer and the court both still show that I need to be there at 12:00?

[Confused78]

Ok what do all you that know alot more about this than me suggest I do? The att. said that he thinks that the trustee over looked that I haden't yet had a 341 when she said that I didn't need to be there on Monday. So should I ask him to inform her that I missed it? Should I just let it play out and hope it doesn't get caught like he suggests? Should I go on Monday since I am still on the schedule even though he said I don't have and the trusteee said that I don't have to be there? I noticed that the trustee said REAPPEAR on her email should I point that out. I was there once but never spoke to her, we postponed the hearing. I need help!!!! Thanks

It looks to me as though the 341 hearing is still on the schedule. If the FMC paperwork was filed, it would be right there in the docket. What do you have for flags on your summary page?

[Confused78]

Thank you so much for responding. I never knew where to find flags. I will have to look later and see. What is the FMC paperwork?
Editied to add that I figured out that FMC was for my online course. Again I want to thank you for helping me.

[Confused78]

I looked under summary would I see something that has a flag beside it? It doesn't really have anything that looks weird. Just alot of details.

There should be an area on the Case Summary page that says "Flags:" followed by some abbreviations, such as "DebtEd", right under "Pending Status". I'm asking because if the debtor education (FMC) requirement hasn't been recorded as being met there's usually a flag for it there.

[Confused78]

This is the last exchange between the att and myself. So what would you all do?

I just wanted to point out that I am still on the schedule for Monday 2/2 @ 12:00 on the courts web site. I also checked on pacers and it is showing me that I am scheduled to be there and that it has not cancelled that appt. like it has in the past. It is also showing my status as "waiting for first meeting" I have to say that I am concerned with not attending this meeting on Monday.

Thanks,

xxxx


I do know its still listed. But at the 341 itself, Ms xxxxx will mark the case off the list

I'd be there just in case. Something just doesn't sound right. I've heard of 341 meetings being rescheduled, but this is something that's done formally with written notification to both the debtor and the creditors.

[Help!]

One last thing... a lot of people post to this forum and disclose their location. I would avoid doing that because with a few key details and a location you're not as anonymous as you might think. You never know who's out there.

Thanks for the advice. I thought I "x" out all the detail of my location. Didn't I?

I can see you are in Philadelphia
