Re: failed to comply with a court order
If you have actually filed bankruptcy instead of just hired an attorney for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court provides quite a few protections. I am surprised you have not talked to your bankruptcy attorney about this problem. You need to talk to whatever attorney is handling your bankruptcy.
