I'm getting the usual runaround. Multiple "authorizations" have been sent to the bank(s), all lost or not good enough. Client tells the bank to call me. They call me, then won't talk to me because there is no "power of attorney" on file. I'm dealing with 5 banks for this client. Thanks.

Such agreement, executed by the attorney and the debtor(s), shall be attached to each statement filed by the attorney under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2016(b). Compensation, in all cases, is subject to review pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code." In the near future, deficiency notices will post in cases where the agreement has not been filed on the docket.

From tyler at twinfallsattorneys.com Thu Mar 31 08:13:27 2022 From: tyler at twinfallsattorneys.com (Tyler McGee) Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2022 14:13:27 +0000 Subject: [CLBS] Fraud and Attorney Fees Message-ID: Listmates, Debtor ended up on the wrong side of a state court judgment to the tune of about $30,000. The first judgment was for $7,000 and the court specifically found that the Debtor was liable on the basis of fraud and set forth the elements of the case that satisfy the finding of fraud. The creditor's attorney then requested fees and costs in the additional amount of $23,000 and an amended judgment was entered. Debtor would like to file bankruptcy and get rid of the debt. The initial $7k for fraud is likely nondischargeable under ?523(a)(2) if the creditor brings a nondischargeablity action. As to the attorney fees associated with pursuing the initial fraud claim I see those as also potentially nondischargeable under the same section. In Re Bartenwerfer (BAP-NC-19-1178) seems to confirm this. I intend to tell this debtor that the entire amount is likely nondischargeable. A bankruptcy only helps this debtor if the creditor never files a dischargeability complaint. Am I off base or missing something? Tyler J. McGee ROY, NIELSON, PLATTS & McGEE P.O.
