Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

It is unclear what happened in your situation. It appears that you were alleged to have debt from a company, for which you hired legal representation. The company is now contacting you to try to get money. Have you spoken or written to your attorney? Perhaps the company is trying to get you to pay a debt you no longer owe.

It is very unlikely that your attonrey paid or was paid by someone else to "shut up" so you could be hit for a larger debt in the future. In my experience, it is much more common for a creditor to try and collect a debt that is no longer owed. If you choose to cut ties with the attorney you hired, you should consult direclty with an attorney in your area, to explore your options. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation.

As for the Bar not responding to your complaint, that is very perplexing. I have never lodged a formal complaint, and to my knolwedge none has been made against me. But, it is my understanding that they investigate all complaints. If you complained, and it seems that nothing was done, then you might have misunderstood the situation.

Sometimes clients overestimate what their attorney can do for them. Perhaps the attorney could not "make the debt go away" but failed to sufficiently explain that to you. For that reason, I again point you toward the attorney you hired. I do not know what formXXXX is, but hopefully your attorney can explain how it applies to your situation or not. If not, then you should consult directly with an attonrey in your area. Let them know the specific facts of your matter. Vague genralized questions, without facts, can only garner general and somewaht vagure responses through this forum.

Good luck
