My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Florida
I received notice of my hearing on the 22nd of Sept. and the hearing is on the 25th of Sept. That only gave me 3 days to get all the paperwork in to the trustee. But they require you to have the paperwork in at least 7 days before the hearing. I called and asked to have the hearing rescheduled for October and they said they had given me plenty of time to get all paperwork in. Well to make a long story short my nephew looked at my notice and pointed out that the letter they sent me was dated September 17,2008. So I got all of my paperwork and overnighted it to the trustee. Then I called them back and pointed out the date on the letter. They then continued my case until October 2. I'm really upset now. I thought I had done everything correctly and they only give me 8 days from the time the letter was sent and they are giving the creditors 60 days to object to the bankruptcy. I guess what I'm asking is???? does this happen often. Do they always try to jerk the people around that can't afford the 2000.00 for a attorney. Or could it just be a honest mistake on their part? Any advice? Is there anything else I should watch out for?
