that's how long it has been since i paid my attourney in full. i submitted everything asked of me around december 5th. we had a bad snowstorm around christmas and i received a letter appologizing for not filing my case because of the weather.
i have kept them updated and given them everything requested in a timely manner. in january they called and talked to my wife and asked us to for updated financial info and a new "honest" assets list. while we did not know what was wrong with our previous list, we complied and went into as much detail as we could. i even made a video tour of our home and our belongings so there would be no doubt remaining. most of our debt was survival debt, we have nothing fancy to show for it except our van and a computer.
we waited until the end of january and when i went to turn our new paystubs i asked if there was any new info on our case. i was told the attourey was planning to contact us that week. nothing. i went last week to turn in more financials, asked again and was told the same thing. had a discussion with the secretary about what she told me previously and experiences of people my wife works with that filed ch7 around the same time. how they were almost done and we had not really even begun. asked if there were problems we should know about. she asked if they had gone through their office, i said no, she said perhaps the office they went through was not as busy as her's.
she then explains to me how this is a process and it takes time ect.... it ended with the now usuall "the attourney will call you this week" and 2 weeks later....nothing
well it's mid february, i just left a message on their machine that i would like an up date. i explained what has happened so far, that i am becomming frustrated from the lack of communication and scared of the notices i am receiving from creditors attourney's.
my questions are,
is this normal? if not what can i do?
did i do something wrong? if i did can i fix it?
personal needed info?
i live in clark county, washington and am married with 2 kids, we have approx 40,000 in debt. we make 52,000 a year. filing ch7 jointly. paid attourney in full from the beggining.
