Cam a false BK filing be removed from the docket? Completely removed?
An attorney friend representing a corporation (in non bankruptcy related
matters) phoned me today - Someone filed a case, allegedly forging the name of
her client. It is HIS name (her client), a forged signature by an unknown third
party.
She compared signatures to those she had on file to be sure SHE was not being
fooled and it was not his signature. Further, the Tax ID No. was incorrect, the
signatures were remarkably different and the address was unknown to she or her
client.
The case was dismissed b/c the individual filed in pro per on behalf of a
corporation. The unknown party did not show up at an OSC for sanctions and so
her "client" [his name, but not him] has been sanctioned $5,000 -- all unknown
to him until today. He found out when trying to do something with title to new
property (I do not have all the facts, she just called in a panic b/c client is
in a panic having just found out today). It sounds odd to me b/c even if he was
not notified, I would think the corporation would somehow be notified. Attorney
did not recognize any of the addresses on the dismissed BK petition.
I told her to start with a letter to the US Trustee. Client wants it "removed
from the record" Completely removed. Is that even possible? Do I need to seek
out an identity theft attorney for her?
I've found numerous links for reporting fraud such as:

Cam a false BK filing be removed from the docket? Completely removed?
An attorney friend representing a corporation (in non bankruptcy related matters) phoned me today - Someone filed a case, allegedly forging the name of her client. It is HIS name (her client), a forged signature by an unknown third party.
She compared signatures to those she had on file to be sure SHE was not being fooled and it was not his signature. Further, the Tax ID No. was incorrect, the signatures were remarkably different and the address was unknown to she or her client.
The case was dismissed b/c the individual filed in pro per on behalf of a corporation. The unknown party did not show up at an OSC for sanctions and so her "client" [his name, but not him] has been sanctioned $5,000 -- all unknown to him until today. He found out when trying to do something with title to new property (I do not have all the facts, she just called in a panic b/c client is in a panic having just found out today). It sounds odd to me b/c even if he was not notified, I would think the corporation would somehow be notified. Attorney did not recognize any of the addresses on the dismissed BK petition.
I told her to start with a letter to the US Trustee. Client wants it "removed from the record" Completely removed. Is that even possible? Do I need to seek out an identity theft attorney for her?
