I did not have an outstanding bankruptcy experience with Lindsay and I think it is imperative that I share my story.
Towards the end of the bankruptcy process Lindsay’s office sent me something I had questions on so I called her. When I ask her if it was necessary seeings how my case was already filed, she got defensive. Lindsay quickly deflected from the letter and said something like ~I’ve never had anyone else get this angry about the letter before~. Now the conversation is about my emotional reaction to this letter instead of the letter itself.
On that call Lindsay and I both talked over each other. We both raised our voices. I backed off and let Lindsay speak. After she was done speaking I said “May I speak now?” She replied along the lines of ~Yeah, as long as you’re not going to be a jerk~. I said “Lindsay I’m not calling you names.” She then replied along the lines of ~I didn’t call you a jerk, I said if you’re not going to be a jerk~.
Not only did Lindsay call me a jerk, she didn’t seem to care about my thought process or feelings. I don’t feel like she ever trusted me or my word. Lindsay was condescending and patronizing towards me. She made me feel small. In my experience when Lindsay gets questioned on something she trumps up with her own set of facts and then hides behind legalese, deflection, and name calling.
Is my debt clear? Yes. Do I think my bankruptcy was filed properly? Yes. Do I feel like I was respected during the bankruptcy process? Absolutely not. I had traumatizing bankruptcy experience with Lindsay that will live with me for years. She never apologized for calling me a jerk.
