Cingular/ AT&T is not fair!!! [cellular one] [police reports]

Long story short: my boyfriend had a phone with cellular one in my name a long time ago. When we broke up I called them and told them to cancel the service. They said I would have to pay a cancel fee and they would bill me. They never canceled it and I got a bill for over $3000. Then I found out he had also maxed up all my cards, even though they were in my name. I filed police reports and sent documents and called the credit agencies and everything but I still kept getting calls from people try

Worried that I may need to file pro-se [attorney fee] [worrier]

Had final meeting with attorney week and half ago. Signed papers (with minor changes to be made by attorney), paid attorney fee & filing fee in full (checks have cleared). She said case would be filed by mid-week (that would have been Oct 4,5,6).
My problem (first of all, I am a terrible worrier)…. but I cannot get ahold of attorney. Left a couple messages with no response. Sent email, no response. Just want to know that my case is FILED prior to deadline!

Filing on Monday [final push] [creditors]

In IL here. Met last month with a BK atty and got the ball rolling immediately. Finally paid the last of our fees to him this week and met with atty yesterday to go over things. I finally feel like we can breathe a little now. Our final push towards filing was DH losing his job last week.
I still have a few creditors calling, mainly Juniper. Told them numerous times to call our atty. Having the automatic stay will be good, as it will make them quit bugging me.
From what the atty sai

Well I finally know what the issue was [student lawyer] [means test]

Well today I went into the lawyers office to get copies of the filing they filed yesterday. Remember the screw up of the means test at 25K yearly when it should've been 65K with the tax refund included or 54K without the refund. The student lawyer told the lawyer in front of me well we were suppossed to fix that before the filing but I had a question and couldn't get ahold of the client(me) so I filed it like that. The lawyer was like what are you people talking about. So I expained that

Am I allowed to sell home? [right direction] [amount of time]

I am awaiting a discharge from a CH7BK. Can I sell my home? Do I need to wait a certain amount of time before selling? Can my equity be taken if the house sells after the discharge? No time during my BK was my house for sell so the trustee knows nothing about it. The equity might be close to $50K or more.
Please lead me in the right direction. I am going to put this to my attorney tomorrow. I thought someone on this forum might know.
Thanks in advance!

NCO – Sent mail certified RRR Green Card comes back blank?

I recently sent a request for validation to NCO. I included a return receipt. I got the green card back with no signature, no anything. I’ve heard NCO is shady, and I don’t know what to think. My 30 days have expired now, and I have no evidence they received my letter.

Needless to say, USPS does not care.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?
