When i first filed for Chapter 13 bankrupt i was told that the law firm fees will be $2,500 and $90 for the over the telephone financial counselor , for a total of $2,590.00 . My attorney lost the case and said not to worry I%26#039;ll just re-filed your case. So i signed all of the documents without reading them ( i thought i could trust my attorney no need to read) , well i got had. Now the same law firm tells me i owe them an additonal $3,550 so in all I would have paid them totally $6,000.00 and the financial consultants /counselors a total of $140.00. so in all i am out of $6,140.00. In the begining all of my bills only came to $10,300 which included my 2nd mortage and credit cards.
I know i signed the papers without reading but is there any re-course. I really feel i been had. Now i am in debt for much more and all the payments are going to the Trustee to pay all of my bills which is fine but I hope someone can help me understand this better and at least give me some hope.
Can you claim attorney fees etc on your income tax?
No, you cannot...
I have to agree. You are going to have to chalk this one up to a life-lesson learned, and read what you sign next time...
