Re: past bankraptucy

If the lien holder was included in our chapter 7 bankruptcy, and the debt discharged, the lien holder no longer has an legal right to collect on that debt. They have to agree to remove the lien, otherwise they are violating the bankruptcy code. I suggest that you contact your former lawyer, and find out what exactly he did. Your former lawyer should also fix this problem for you.
