Filing Pro Se - Are the online paperwork sites worthwhile?

[tigergem]

I didn't have any kind of a questionnaire or anything like that about filing pro se. They kept telling me what a good job I had done with my paperwork, but never questioned that I did it myself. Which I absolutely did. I guess self induced OCD perfectionism is good for something sometimes lol. Now if only I could apply that to my housework...and my dog training.

Even if you use a petition preparer, your still responsible for everything you put. you will still have to appear at the creditor's meeting and answer questions about your petition. IF it were me, id rather do it my own with the Nolo book so you can make sure you understand everything & are puttin the right thing down. at least for a chapter 7. from what others said about the chapter 13, i dont know if i could do it, WOW

It is definitely not for the faint-hearted. And for sure, no matter what you do you have to attend the 341 hearing.The thing that sold me was I was able to ask question of the attorney even before I purchased the services. I asked about things I knew about to sort of test the waters and he answered them well. I think having an attorney at least looking at the petition is worth more that purchasing a book.

Yeah but completing the forms is a lot scarier than the 341.

Waiting for your discharge is scarier than any of those things.
