My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: California
I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in December 2011. The case was continued 3 times by the trustee, the last time being until February 7th. I spoke to my attorney on February 3rd, and asked them to let me know whether the case was again going to be continued or whether we would be ready to proceed. I never heard back from my attorney until yesterday (Feb 27th) afternoon when they left me a message asking me about the Debtor Education certificate. I took the course online last night and got the certificate and e-mailed it to my attorney today. I just received a phone call letting me know that my case has been dismissed (as of February 24th) because the Debtor Education certificate was not submitted on time. My attorney let me know that I would need to complete the course when I first filed, but did not give me a time line to complete it, nor mentioned it again when I spoke to his office. His office let me know that I could refile the case, but I have to pay the court's filing fee as well as his office's fee. I am arguing with them that I should not have to pay the fees, but I also need to get this taken care of as soon as possible. I'm not sure what my next move should be to ensure that my bankruptcy is properly discharged. Thank you
