Arbitration Award from Contractors State License Board Arbitration Program
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 10:39 pm
Chapter 7, post 341A hearing, which went perfectly.....I was chatting with the client earlier today on the phone regarding the usual procedural matters such as the financial management certificate. Her husband who filed with her is a general contractor who does primarily flooring. She tells me that her husband is not home, as he went out for awhile after finding out he lost an arbitration with the Contractors State License Board Arbitration Program. I ask her if this claim existed at the time that we filed the bankruptcy. She says yes. I ask why didn't we list it in your bankruptcy, to which she replied it simply slipped their minds. OK, did your husband at least mention the bankruptcy filing at his arbitration? Apparently, for reasons best known to himself, he did not. They found him liable for $2,400.00.
OK, before, I send The Letter, is there ANY possible reason under the sun that this would not be dischargeable, because I sure can't think of one. More importantly, assuming that is correct, we amend, put them on notice, etc., and the debt is discharged, is there any way that this jeopardizes his status with respect to the Contractors State License Board? Class? Anyone?
