what can you do after chapter 7 was discharged and mortgage bank said they wont look at reaffirmed letter since it was 3 days after the date?
It was the law office fault for not mailing it out on time so what can we do? Lawyer is a weasel and we found this out with the bank so y pay to reopen? Lawyer said they need to put in for a petition to reopen and put the paperwork in once again. I have proof it was not our fault with the paperwork we signed saying it was reaffirmed. Who is going to pay for this?

I would suggest that you tell your bankruptcy lawyer that this smells very strongly of malpractice, and that if he doesn't take care of it for you, at no additional cost to you, you will be looking for another attorney. One place to look for a new lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
Part of a lawyer's job is to know what all the deadlines in a case are, and to make sure none of them are missed. Something like this is usually one of the easiest kinds of malpractice cases to prove.
