Well now I am being sued, and you know what, I just don't care. I had ADT at my store before we closed and went bankrupt, I called them the month before we closed the store and told them about the situation and that we were claiming bankruptcy, I spoke to a guy name chuck at the main office, and he told me not to worry about it and not to add them to our bankruptcy, that they would just shut off the service. I am and idiot, because that is what I did. Well our bankruptcy was discharged last October, and in November I got and $850 bill from ADT again and I called them and said, "hey, I already spoke to a guy named chuck and told the girl on the other end of the phone what had gone on and she told me that she would talk to her boss and if I did not hear from her by the end of the week that everything would be taken care of. Well, she never called back so I assumed again (stupid me for again believing in people) that it was fine. Well yesterday, I get a call from a lawyer that is representing them saying that we need to pay them $1100 or they will sue us. I told her that I would have added ADT to the bankruptcy if I had not been lied to. There was no reason in the world to leave them off except they told me that they were not worried about it. Oh, get this, the lawyer told us that ADT will tell us anything on the phone to get our business and that they were shady, and she is their lawyer???? She also said we needed to pay the money back at $200 a month, and that since we still had a house and a car, that we still had assets we could liquidate. I live in a 3/1 house, 1127 sq ft. We have 1 vehicle between us now and I cannot get a job because my hubby's schedule at his job is so screwed up, I wasgoing to get a part time job but he does not have set hours. My husband was offered another job last week but it was a $2 pay cut, but it had set hours, but it was further away which is more gas. Do you know what we do one the weekends, nothing, we are at the house, we don't go out. The one suffering is my son, I can handle it, but I feel for my son. And the lawyer has the nerve to tell me to liquidate assets. We took out my husbands 401k (which was safe from bankruptcy) for 2 reasons, 1, to pay of a few creditors to see if we could avoid bankruptcy and 2, to keep the house. I feel like we have tried but are being punished and treated like dogs. I didn't mean for any of this to happen , I just wanted to try to give my children a little more , we were not trying to become millionaires. I am not a greedy person, I just wanted to be able to walk into a store without having to worry how much something cost and be able to tell my kids, sure you can have that. Sorry, I don't mean to go on, My hubby has gone to work and young'ens are gone and I think the past year has just finally broke me down and everyone here is supportive. I hate crying in front of my hubby, he feels like its his fault and its not, but there is only so long I can keep my upbeat attitude on without having a melt down. I will be back to my happy go lucky self in about an hour. Thank Y'all. 
dont you have so much time after a bankruptcy to add something. like the ADT? I think you do because sometimes you may not know about a bill till after you have filled. I hope things get better for you soon. keeping my fingers crossed that it works out and you get a big win.
