I got my case number and have the email from the trustee asking for documents. I’m doing this pro se because I’m paycheck to paycheck and there’s no way I can scrape together $2500 within any reasonable time period to pay an attorney.
The trustee’s letter was all full of “It’s extremely difficult to do this alone, your success rate will be really low, get an attorney etc etc”. Everything online is telling me it’s like a 50% chance of success.
I’m really worried creditors are gonna get notices that I filed and then start suing me. I’m surrendering my car and I’m worried they’re gonna just come take it even tho there’s a stay. I’m freakin out a little. What happens if my case gets tossed? Am I gonna get my ass sued into the sunset? I do live in a state where garnishment is illegal, but that doesn’t seem to ease my worries.
Upsolve isn’t available in my state, and no attorney will be lower than $2500. I am a paralegal, so maybe that gives me a tiny leg up, but I’ve never done bankruptcy law. Anyone have any success stories where you filed on your own? I could use a little comfort.
