A: A: A Notice of Satisfaction is filed by the Creditor/Plaintiff has been paid by the Debtor/Debtor. That does not appear to apply. I would suggest you have your attorney reopen you Bky to amend for matters. This may require the filing of Adversary Actions. An attorney has a requirement to Due Diligence, which includes a search of the Public Record. Because he missed it, he should do it for FREE. If he doesn’t you should contact your respective state bar.
