You need the services of an attorney who works for you, not the other party. I don't know why you were required to pay the other party's attorney, but it may be something in the contract. Your attorney can review the whole matter and advise you.

You would have to "Google" that. You literally have to have one foot in the grave and one foot slipping into the grave to discharge even a portion of student loans in Bankruptcy. But if it is a private student loan and involves a fraudulent school it is a different situation.

Sorry, let me rephrase. An excessively high commission can be a percentage, but the amount of money is unlimited and usually tied to good performance
seeing any financial benefit for this excessive trading but he sure is making money off the fees I have to pay him. Is this legal?
answered on May 8, 2017

Depending on what is being done, it may be illegal.
Why don't you take control over the account.

You really need to speak with an attorney. You have too many moving parts in what appears to be a short sale to get useful advice that would apply to your specific situation from a free advice website. When do you need to close by? What is the bank telling you? Are you scheduled for a sheriff sale?
