Atlanta, GA asked in Bankruptcy and Small Claims for Georgia

Q: Court date is 7/30. Made response to dispossessor proceedings with big errors how can I correct this before Monday?

I requested a court of record hearing trial by jury & required 21 day extensioncome to remedy & charged the agent of Company $1000 a day for continuing with false claim with additional damages. I did not send in the claim with itemized charges for the cost of damages.My mistake I believe was It was past the time to make this request and I spelled the agent's name Incorrectly, can I correct this before the court date? I also stated that I am a woman not the person the letter was sent to. (In all caps name. I didnt say this last part though.) I did not want to be the defendant but the executor which I believe puts me at an advantage. It's a common law approach. I paid a firm that said they could help get me a modification or short sale but the day before the sale told me to file bankruptcy, I had to find more $ to file and by the time I got it, it was too late. The attoney ignored my calls at that point. I just need guidance right now. I had from 7/11-7/18 to respond. I did last day.

A: If you have filed bankruptcy, the automatic stay is triggered and stays all proceedings. No need to do anything today, but take a copy of your bankruptcy filing and tell everyone tomorrow at the 7/30 Hearing that you have filed. That should stop the proceedings. You really need an experienced bankruptcy attorney to help you immediately.
