Finally Some Progress

We're still here. Still dealing with the Bankruptcy! I've said it once and I'll say it again: I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE THIS LONG

A few months ago, we got a letter from the Chapter 13 Trustee stating that he was making a motion to dismiss our case based on some of the information in our filing. The attorney had us come in the sign an affidavit in regard to the motion to dismiss and he assured us we had nothing to worry about - it was just the Trustee's last-ditch effort. Mind games, I say. A test to see if we'd give up.

We waited to hear something. And waited. And waited.

Then, we got another letter from the Trustee and it was the same thing: A motion to dismiss our case based on the same information and we were requested to appear in court. Very frustrating. We met with the attorney again and he said he didn't understand why the Trustee was pressing the issue on something so small, but assured us it wasn't big enough to jeopardize our Bankruptcy. He said the affidavit was very clear and we did not need to go to court - it would be straightened out.

The court date was fast approaching and we hadn't heard anything. Then, the Friday before the court date, we got a letter in the mail from the Trustee stating that the motion to dismiss had been withdrawn! Whew.

Now, we wait again, but for what, I'm not exactly sure. We're just happy all that dismissal mess is done and over. We can move forward on this whole process instead of feeling like we're standing still, spinning our wheels, getting nowhere.

The end is closer!
