What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hello. I was a consultant to a company for over a year. He filed for Chap. 7 and purposely (my opinion) gave a false address for me so I was never notified of the meeting of creditors. He owed me several thousand dollars & continued asking me to work for him even though he knew he was going into bankruptcy, which I had no idea about. When it was obvious I wasn't going to get paid, I took him to small claims court (even after he was served, still did not notify me of his bankruptcy) and of course he was a no show.
Do I have any recourse as to the fact I was never notified by he or his lawyer and thus had no opportunity to dispute my case not be discharged with the others? It seems this is an easy loophole for debtors to use if they don't want someone showing up at their hearing. Thanks for your advice.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
