We are upset because our home went into mortgage default due to my blindness. We initially wanted to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but our attorney filed and then canceled it for a Chapter 7. We have not been discharged yet. Can our attorney dismiss the Chapter 7 and refile for Chapter 13, or do we need a new case? Additionally, we received a motion to relieve the automatic stay on our home, which we want to save.

Can a dealership refuse to return a deposit on a new car lease if I signed a binding non-refundable deposit, did not take delivery of the car, and never even saw the vehicle? I am in Florida and have asked for a refund, contacted my credit card company, and filed a complaint with the AG. They did not disclose that I was initialing a non-refundable deposit and did not furnish me with a copy of the document.

I invested in two pieces of land with my father between 2005 and 2007. My father and mother sold one piece without splitting the profit as agreed, and later, in 2013, my mother, brother, and father borrowed money using my remaining land as collateral. I sold the land in 2022 for $20,000 less than its worth without knowing about the loan. My father passed away in November 2022, and in March of this year, I was served papers for breach of contract. I need to file an answer and include my mother and brother as third parties by the end of the week. How do I add them as third parties in my answer?
