Yesterday I was informed my bank account was unfrozen, I immediately withdrew some of my funds to pay back the person who loaned me the $$ to hire the lawyer and file my bankruptcy.. Everything seemed like it was working out, then today I get word that the trustee has informed my attorney of two problems on my chapter 7 filing; keeping in mind I support my girlfriend who I plan on proposing to as soon as all of this is behind me..
1. I can not own two cars: I have an old (2004) SUV which has 180,000 miles on it, needs $1500 in repairs, I drive 100 miles a day to work and I can't use that car since the cost of gas is too high and it only gets about 11-15MPG.... It's unreliable so I only use it for local trips in the winter and taking care of things for my mother who has medical issues and requires my help. The cost of commuting to work with the SUV is actually more money then the cost of my hybrid's car payment and gas.. My girlfriend is taking driving lessons, just got her permit a few months ago, and the plan was to let her use my car once she gets her license. I have no idea what to do here.
2. I support my girlfriend who currently doesn't work, we've lived together for almost two years. I was just told the amount I spend on food/suplies is too high and I can't use supporting my girlfriend as the reason since we aren't married... it was implied that I should go rush and marry her so this won't be an issue... There is no way I'm going to marry her to help my bankruptcy, that is absurd. I love her, and plan on proposing to her once this is all behind me.. I planned on doing that before.. but I don't want there to be any question about why I'm proposing, and I want it done right... and after my legal mess is over... so now what?
My attoney's paralegal told me that they're looking into options and will get back to me.. but I've lost a lot of faith in my attorney since these are both things they should have known before they even filed... and they only got my checking account unfrozen based on my parroting feedback I received on here and not on their own.
