Question by awalk.intheclouds11: I don’t know what to do, I’m at a complete loss right now?
Right now, I’m not getting any money at all and I’m worried. I’m in a fair amount of debt right now, because of a scam “debt relief” group that promised me that if I made payments to them, that they would pay off my debt, which was not alot at the time. Then, I still got the calls from the bank and so forth, and my debt wasn’t going away, but increasing. And then when I called them back, the place was gone. I paid them over a hundred thousand dollars over a period of time, and thought it was going towards my debt. But, it didn’t.
Then, I tried to file for bankruptcy, and the lawyers, that i have been paying for almost a year over three thousand for their services, haven’t done a single thing for me yet.
I’m on disability checks after getting hurt at my job at Kaiser, and haven’t been able to get to work since a year ago because during the physical therapy they re-tore my injury. But, since I was getting the disability checks, I have been living very frugally, but now the courts are taking all of my checks, and so I am left with nothing.
What advice could you give me. I have nothing right now and I am terrified.
Thank you so much.

You paid over a hundred thousand dollar? Somehow I doubt that.
Courts will not typically take disability checks. This all sounds very odd. Perhaps you should seek some free legal aid.

You paid over $ 3,000 to an attorney to file bankruptcy a year ago and nothing was done? How long have you been sitting there waiting for things to happen? Did you try to call the attorney and get your money back? Did you file a complaint with the state bar?
