Bankruptcy is NOT a do it yourself project. You need to get a lawyer immediately.

(By the way calling does not fix it. The clerks cannot advise you and the Trustee is not allowed to advise you).

The steps you take now may impair future filings, and you may have options other than dismissal. Again, you need to stop talking to people and get a lawyer.

One option is to convert your case to a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a very useful tool for those who need it. I would highly recommend an attorney for this. You do have options but I would not recommend doing this on your own.
