Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Indiana

Attorney's Failure to Amend

If I gave my attorney correct addresses for my creditors and his office left off the addresses, and I sent them a letter and called asking them to correct it, and they didnt

will I still be liable for creditors not notified of my bankruptcy? I have tried 3 times to get this done and I am basically being ignored. It has been over a month and they still have not corrected it and the asset search is over.

I also had to add one and it wasnt done. What am I liable for if they dont get notified?

Re: Attorney's Failure to Amend

If you gave the attorney the addresses for the admendments in a timely fashion and you gave him the money to do the amendments in a timely fashion, then, yes, he should do the amendment.

If creditors are not listed on your petition by the time your discharge is granted, those debts would not be discharged.

If your discharge has not yet been granted, you NEED to get that amendment done immediately.

If your attorney won't do it, you need to. You can do it yourself and then quibble with him later about his failure to amend.

Good luck to you!
