need advice asap...

I know I am a pain in the bootie and I apologize.

Recap: case got closed and no discharge because the court said my financial management certification was missing..lawyer said it was not filed the right way..so he filed a petition to the court to reopen it on ( he filed it on Jan 15)..well I call and actually talked to someone and she said the court stricken the petition because something did not match to reopen it..WOW..what am I to do????

told me she would all the court in the morning and then have the lawyer call the court in between his court hearings and clients..which means I probably will not get an answer.
they were suppose to call the court first thing today..did not happen..

I have had very bad luck with this and I fear it will not be discharged.
Will it ever be overith? I am beginning to question it.

Any advice is very much appreciated..

Kinda crazy huh ?

Soory i have no pearls of wisdom yet.

did the attorney mess up, the company not submit the certificate?

Sounds like ours are very similar situations except I am pro se. I will let you know when I hear back from the case manager. I got her voicemail today that said she would be out of the office on Wed. and back today so maybe that's why my motion hasn't been ruled on yet.

Well this is what I found about reopening a case that was closed without discharge:

"There are times when a case is closed before a discharge is granted. A case that has been closed without a discharge or dismissed may be reopened. This commonly happens in cases where a debtor does not timely complete the personal financial management instructional course, which is a requirement under the Bankruptcy Code. Courts should reopen the case and grant a discharge if the debtor files a motion to reopen with a certificate attached that shows that the course has been completed, but not if there were other reasons to deny a discharge."

I think this is good news for both of us!

My lawyers secretary called me and said she spoke with the court that over sees the court district that i went to. Said it is okay, it was the way the papers were in order and this court is VERY picky..lucky me I told her.
This has been going on since June 30,2008
Yeah, i know ABSURD..
They laughed because this is their only case that has ever been dragged on for months and months
I hope it will be overwith this month.
She told me if I do not get a discharge paper in a week to call back...
Crossing my fingers...
