Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
Rules regarding Student Loans, prior to October, 1998
We declared Bankruptcy, using a certain attorney group, which we paid in advance. To be included was a (really old) student loan of mine,1986 & the loan #. We were assured all was ok & relied on them to handle it. We were discharged & thought all was ok.
I received a letter from the collector of this loan last year & I called them & sent them all discharge paperwork, it was ignored. They were already intercepting our '98 return. I contacted the attorney & he put it in my lap. I filed a form to protect my husband, as he earns 3/4 of our income. They went ahead & took 1/2 of the return. They don't acknowledge our Bankruptcy as discharging the loan & would continue. They will not send my paperwork, in its entirety. I faxed what I had to the attorney group, with a letter to them several months ago & not a word.
It seems like we should have some recourse here. Agencies/ Attornies & etc can't just take control & disregard you, take your money at will, not ethically & accurately perform services promised & paid for, then not be responsible. Please, I would really appeciate any advice/help you can offer, I am at my wits end.

Your attorneys owe you your file. We would have to investigate further the dischargability of your student loan. For a $50.00 phone consultation, please call 1-800-677-1010. Keith Knochel, [email protected].
