Disclosure of Creditors & Client Diligence
Anyone else have this problem?
A very typical scenario for me is to have clients not want to list their
creditors but instead "just go by the credit report"...every time I refuse
and make the clients complete their intake packet listing all creditors,
property etc. My retainer states that I do not investigate the nature of
their debts or creditors and I have a lot of language certifying to me that
all information is true and correct and informing them of penalties for
bankruptcy crimes, etc. etc. .
*Still*, it *frequently* becomes an uphill battle with clients to get them
to complete their intake packets to specifically list all their creditors.
I explain not listing all creditors could and very likely would cost them
their discharge.
Anyone else have this problem? Maybe it is just the nature of the beast to
have clients who do not always have a sense of follow through.
