I hired Mr. Fears to represent me in Sept. 2006. Mr. Fears told me my case would be filed on Oct 2 so I would not have to make any house payments until Nov. 06.instead it was filed on Sept. 29,06. I mentioned this to Mr. Fears it would be amended. It was'nt.
The employees could barely speak English, and did'nt seem to know what was going on. When I mentioned this to Mr. Fears, he became angry. I told him I was a paying customer and that I expected him to be professional. That was the last I heard from him.
When I went for confirmations (which I was told I did'nt have to go to), I could never find Mr. Fears to find out what happened. No one at the office seemed to know either. Eventually one of the girls at the office told me that Scott York took over my case.
Well he was a disaster. Mr. York told me we could get my case confirmed with the figures EMC gave him and when I had the actural figures (which Aames Home Loan and EMC refused to give me that I could actually understand and read) we could amend my case.
Mr. York failed to do that. On July 3,07 I received a letter from the Bankruptcy Courts saying that my case had been dismissed.
I filed a motion to reinstate. On Aug. 2 the Judge ruled that Mr. Fears Firm and Scott York failed in their duty to do everything in their power to ensure that my case would be sucessfully confirmed and I was refunded $1,800.00 of the $2,335.00 I paid. It seems Mr. York had failed to tell me we had a confirmation date on June 21, did not call me, and did not show up himself for the confirmation.instead on that same day Mr. York filed a motion to "To Withdraw" as my Attorney. Since I was'nt there either my case was dismissed. I have not refiled yet as I am seeking to get my home refinanced.
I am also out $500.00 of the money I paid. I still did not get confirmed and I only got grief.
