My trustee objected to adding the payments to my surrendered property on this form. In line 47 it states list all secured debt that you are contractually responsible for. I googled cases for my district and came across one that states that this form is to show how a debtor's financial situation looked at the time of bankruptcy and the judge over ruled the trustee's objection. I have a attorney, but he has not returned my calls or emails. What should I do at this point?

Shouldn't surrendered property be added into Form B22C?

Busbis, you're stuck until you hear from your attorney. Basically, you just did your atty's work for him but he's still the one who has to make an argument. Do you know how long you have to respond to the trustee's objections? My biggest fear, if I were in your shoes, would be that my atty might let that deadline slip past him.
Because time is slipping away from you here, I would write the atty a letter detailing the problem, what you found in your own research, what you want him to do, and make sure it mentions the dates/times you unsuccessfully tried to call and email. Send certified, ret rcpt requested, of course. If you have not heard back in a week, follow up with another, similarly but more strongly worded... or if you feel like you need to kickstart it, place a complaint with your state Bar Association. I have heard many stories about how a bar complaint magically turned the most negligent of attorneys into the most attentive. But you have to try to work it out with the atty first, hence the certified letter. Good luck!!!Nolo Press book on filing Chapter 7, there are others too. (I have no affiliation with Nolo Press; just a happy customer.) Best wishes to you!
