Question

Ch. 7 meeting of creditors occurred 12/2003.On 2nd lawyer. What rights do we have?

Maryland - My husband and I filed for chapter 7 in fall of 2003. Meeting of creditors with trustee held on 12/19/03. After receiving incorrect information from lawyer number 1 (who cut his teeth on our case), we hired lawyer number 2 in fall 2005. Same stuff, different day; we are going through and producing the SAME documentaion as we did for lawyer number 1. We keep receiving 60 day extensions. How long is too long? Have we no rights to a prompt or timely discharge? It has been 2.5 years since filing. Is there any consumer protection agency for people who file for bankruptcy? I was prepared for the 7 years of no credit. Help / advice for someone in the Baltimore area is sought. Thanking you in advance.

2.5 YEARS for a Ch 7 ??? That''s insane. There MUST be something else going on with the case that you're not telling us. Is it an Asset case ? What kind of documentation is being asked for ?? This really makes no sense with just the little bit you've told us.
