Let's just tack on another $4,500

I can't stand it.

We filed the Emergency Chapter 13 last month - and we had 30 days to file the complete Bankruptcy plan.  Our attorney called us to his office to go over the final paperwork.

Flash back 2 months ago...  we gave him  a retainer of $3,500.  That's what he estimated a Chapter 13 filing would cost.  If it went over $3500 he would just add it to the Chapter 13 payment plan.  I really felt like someone was finally treating us decently. 

Looking over the papers now, we see that he shows a total of $8,000 for his fees.   We can't even question him about it at this point.  If we don't finish this filing, our bankruptcy will be thrown out.

I am so tired of being screwed, and just having to take it.

So we made our first payment of $5,328.82 to the Trustee - who will take his rather large share.  He'll then pay our attorney his portion.  So everybody's happy!! :)


Did I mention that I don't like attorneys?
