Ann Arbor, MI asked in Bankruptcy for Michigan

Q: What can I do if a company will not release my paystubs to me? Meijers insist on the lawyer calling or a subpoena.

He said he will not file without them but they insist he go through something called the work number which he refuses to do. I was able to get one but I have about three or four that I need from them. Will all bankruptcy lawyers insist on this. I can’t make the company send them if they won’t.

A: Yes, you're required to submit your paystubs to the trustee. That's very strange that the company won't release your own paystubs to you. Did you ask your bankruptcy attorney to send them a letter? The company is probably just being overly cautious.
