Mr. Dietz states that at the time the disclosure statement was due he was going through personal issues related to employment, health, and family issues which caused him to file the disclosure statement late. He was one of the main caregivers for his mom who passed on May 17, 2014.
He states that the imposition of a late fee would cause a financial hardship. He states that he has been unemployed since November 2015. He has no savings and no car.
Correspondence was sent to Mr. Dietz on May 12, 2016 requesting that he submit documentation to support his position. No response has been received.
