Buck, not to criticize, but you really need to march down to your attorney's office and get this straightened out, even if you need to camp on his doorstep. Every two or three weeks, you're on here complaining about your attorney, as if anyone here can change that.

I don't want to seem harsh, but you really have to take control of this situation, before you are dismissed and it's too late for conversion. Alternatively, you can look into a hardship discharge from your 13. You shouldn't be forced into filing a whole new petition because of your attorney's, shall we say, inertia.

Then find someone there that can help you. Don't jeopardize your case by inaction.

finally attorney contacted me via e mail, stated, ready to file motion next week, since it has taken him 3 months to give me that answer, i am somewhat skeptical but will wait and see

An email is progress...I hope he follows through for you. If not, keep on his butt...

Yeah, keep on em.' When I originally filed Ch13 I was no asset. When I converted to CH7, and awaited the day I was soppose to be discharged, the Trustee sent a notice that my case could have assets. I just kept on my attorney and finally got discharged, NO ASSETS!

Good Luck, Catchmeifyoucan
