My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Missouri
I am supposed to receive a settlement from a class action lawsuit that occurred after my bankruptcy in 1999. The law firm handling the suit said a claim form was sent to the trustee and the check would be sent to him as well for him to decide if my case should be reopened. Am I required to contact the trustee myself since he is already aware of the case or will I be contacted? I spoke with someone in the bankruptcy court today and he said the trustee has had the claim form since August and hasn't filed a motion. I called my original attorney that represented me in '99 and she is money hungry. Do I even need an attorney or is this something that will handle itself. Thank you for any advice.
