I was so stressed because of the absurd 10/13/25 4 pm DEADLINE (federal HOLIDAY, Columbus Day) to file my Objection, paid for Express mail, and drove it to the post office Thursday morning, but of course it didn’t arrive on time.
It wasn’t on the Kroll docket today, so I emailed the court again. They’ve either been ignoring me or I’m not receiving their emails. So much STRESS!
Looks like Kroll is a day behind in getting filings on the docket, as the court actually filed it on 10/14/25 according to PACER.
Only a few other customers and corporate creditors filed objections. The Texas AG objected to the 3rd party release. Saw nothing from any other AG. SAD.
Don’t know when the vote result will be announced, and the Plan Hearing was rescheduled.

2025-10-14 OBJECTION to Plan Christine Baker
10/10/25
The STRESS is going to kill me.
The Houston bankruptcy court scheduled the deadline for the ballots and objections for Monday, 10/13/25 — COLUMBUS DAY — a federal holiday.
After Kroll chats and emails with the court, wasting so much of my precious time, I realized that my only option was to mail my Objection on Thursday by EXPRESS mail because the court does NOT accept mail, UPS or Fed Ex on Saturdays and holidays.
Obviously, the Sunnova attorneys and the judge deliberately chose this date to minimize objections from customers who filed claims and cannot file electronically on Monday or over the weekend.
I had to pay $28.95 for EXPRESS mail and it had to be at the post office before noon to go out on Thursday.
Today’s USPS tracking:
2025-10-09, 5:02 PM Departed Post Office MEADVIEW, AZ 86444
Your item has left our acceptance facility and is in transit to a sorting facility on October 9, 2025 at 5:02 pm in MEADVIEW, AZ 86444.
USPS in possession of item MEADVIEW, AZ 86444
We dropped off the envelope at the Meadview post office BEFORE noon! And it was still in Meadview until 5:02 pm? WTF!!!
Looks like it will get to the court “sometime” next week.
I’m so angry I’m foaming at the mouth and spitting nails.
Just looked again for electronic filing instructions for pro ses at the court, but found nothing relevant:

https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/proseguide.pdf
I just sent another email to the court.
I am so behind with updating this website because I do have to earn a living to subsidize my $306 social security income, and I’m so OLD! I can no longer work 14-hour days. My brain shuts down, and I lose my working memory.
Every day, I’ve been searching for and reading filings related to this Plan, literally thousands of pages, and I don’t understand most of it. Last night, I was so exhausted by 11 pm, I got dizzy and started to pass out, and then slept for over 11 hours.

HOUSTON DIVISION
OBJECTION TO SUNNOVA’S CHAPTER 11 PLAN
I object to this Plan because I have no idea what is going on and just recently found out that the unsecured creditors, including the defrauded customers, will receive only about 2% of the claim value.
In my research, I learned that the Unsecured Creditor Committee represents the largest corporate creditors – NOT the customers.
Many millions of dollars are paid to Kirkland & Ellis and other firms to represent Sunnova.
AI generated summary to my question:
“Ch. 11 corporate bankruptcy: who pays for the unsecured creditor committee?”
[Not fact checked as I have to get this filing to the post office.]
In a Chapter 11 corporate bankruptcy, the reasonable and necessary expenses of the official unsecured creditors’ committee are paid by the debtor’s estate as administrative expenses. [What Every Unsecured Creditor Should Know About Chapter 11 | ABI, Chapter 11 Committees Of Unsecured Creditors] These expenses have a high priority for payment, generally ahead of pre-petition unsecured claims. [administrative expenses | Wex | US Law | LII / Legal Information …, What Every Unsecured Creditor Should Know About Chapter 11 | ABI]
This payment structure covers two main categories of costs:
1.Fees and Expenses of Professionals: The committee is authorized to hire professionals, such as attorneys and financial advisors, to assist it in carrying out its duties. [Matter of Nor-Les Sales, Inc.] The court may award “reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services” and reimbursement for “actual, necessary expenses” to these professionals. [11 U.S.C. § 330 – U.S. Code Title 11. Bankruptcy § 330 | FindLaw, 11 U.S. Code § 330 – Compensation of officers | U.S. Code | US …] These approved fees are treated as administrative expenses of the bankruptcy estate under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. [11 U.S.C. § 503 – U.S. Code Title 11. Bankruptcy § 503 | FindLaw, 11 U.S. Code § 503 – Allowance of administrative expenses | U.S. …] The standard for compensation is based on the nature, extent, and value of the services, and what comparably skilled practitioners would charge in non-bankruptcy cases. [11 U.S.C. § 330 – U.S. Code Title 11. Bankruptcy § 330 | FindLaw, 11 U.S. Code § 330 – Compensation of officers | U.S. Code | US …
2.Expenses of Committee Members: The Bankruptcy Code also allows for the reimbursement of “actual, necessary expenses” incurred by individual members of the committee in the performance of their duties. [11 U.S.C. § 503 – U.S. Code Title 11. Bankruptcy § 503 | FindLaw, 11 U.S. Code § 503 – Allowance of administrative expenses | U.S. …] However, this generally does not extend to covering the costs of professionals hired by an individual committee member to represent their own interests. [In Re Firstplus Financial, Inc., Davis v. Elliot Management Corp. (In re Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc.)]
What has the Unsecured Creditor Committee done for the thousands of Sunnova customers with claims?
Nothing!
Who represents the defrauded customers? NOBODY!
First Sunnova was allowed to mislead, deceive and abuse the customers with impunity despite the many thousands of public complaints and so many media reports. Now the little people are being subjected to Sunnova’s unfair practices in this court.
Most defrauded Sunnova customers did not submit their claims because they are not lawyers and had no idea what to do.
The Court failed to ensure that customers received a plain English description of the Ch. 11 process, timeline and explanation of their rights, along with plain English summaries of all filings relevant to customers, posted at the Kroll website.
Incredibly, Kroll did not even post the notifications sent to Sunnova customers and I had to waste several hours because my client did not receive the 7/17/25 email with the 8/6/25 deadline for claims. Why are these notices not posted online?
SUMMARY
I began advocating for consumers in the early 1990s and I quit in 2016.
Consumer protection laws had been weakened and the corrupt corporations had become so powerful, resistance was futile. Corporations refused to pay for their “mistakes” and litigated against pro se consumers until they had to give up instead of settling legitimate claims – because they could. Mandatory arbitration clauses made it impossible to retain consumer attorneys without thousands of dollars for retainers.
In 2017, one of my long time clients requested my assistance with her Sunnova solar system because she had received $3,000+ annual utility bills instead of the promised checks for excess power produced.
In 2018, hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars later, Sunnova finally agreed to install four additional panels in Houston BBB mediation. Sunnova did not reimburse my fees to my client. In 2023, my client again requested assistance after her solar system failed and it still produced less power than promised.
Sunnova’s contracts contain a mandatory arbitration clause and my efforts to find an attorney to represent my client miserably failed.
It should be a crime to make consumers sign contracts containing guarantees that even Sunnova’s experts did not understand.
The December 2023 Congressional Inquiry to the Biden Energy Department regarding the $3 billion loan guarantee and addressing the countless Sunnova customer complaints was the final nail in Sunnova’s coffin.
Sunnova’s share values plummeted and it lost its Houston BBB accreditation due to its “F” rating and failure to respond to customer complaints.
Instead of finally monitoring and repairing the solar systems as required by its contracts, Sunnova paid for fake reviews and review site assistance with improving its rating. Somehow Sunnova got the Houston BBB to work on its behalf, resulting in a C+ BBB rating just a few months later.
Sunnova removed its low Google rating from its website. Apparently Google detected the review fraud and deleted the fake reviews. However, there are countless review sites like Trustpilot.com willing to assist with improving low ratings for payment.
Sunnova had my “Sunnova Fraud” page on Facebook removed by takedownreporting.com, a company specializing in having negative information removed from the internet.
Takedownreporting submitted the FALSE claim that I infringed on intellectual property rights to Facebook and I had no opportunity to dispute this false claim, in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Facebook refused to restore my Sunnova Fraud page.
My Claim # 1219 contains detailed information and emails about the takedown.
The review fraud and removal of negative Sunnova information delayed the Sunnova bankruptcy until June 2025.
Executives such as ENRON trained CEO John Berger had plenty of time to prepare for the bankruptcy. I can only imagine how many millions of dollars were siphoned into their personal, friends’ and relatives’ accounts. Mr. Berger’s LinkedIn account disappeared. Is he planning his next heist?
We wasted thousands of hours on BBB, Sheriff and California Attorney General complaints and on this bankruptcy proceeding.
All for nothing.
If my Sunnova Fraud page had not been removed, we might have found others to help with research and contribute funds to retain an attorney.

Exh. 6: My emails with Carter Wietecha, Kirkland & Ellis, with questions about the ballot and my claim
Finally, we found out that unsecured creditors will receive only about 2% of their Claim.
We appreciate the explanations. However, I do not believe that there are two (2) claims filed on 8/6/25 for $18,000 as Carter Wietecha stated.
Why is everything so disorganized, dysfunctional, unusable, confusing?
I had to go to Kroll chat just to find out how to find our Claims!
Yesterday I read on the ballot about emailing the objection instead of filing a formal objection. Are they generic instructions, superseded by the Court’s Order?
Why isn’t there a one-page summary with the various ballot options and filing requirements for idiots like me?
I’m not taking any chances, paid $28.95 for Priority Express (almost 10% of my Social Security income) and I have to mail at the post office before noon on Thursday.
So incredibly UNFAIR!
I never saw any instructions on registering for electronic filing and did not know that I would have to file anything since we could file our claims and vote at the Kroll website.
Exh. 7: 10/7/25 Kroll chat
I was so stressed when I realized that the 10/13/25 4 pm deadline for the objection was COLUMBUS DAY, a federal holiday.
Exh. 8: 10/7/25 emails with Houston Bankruptcy Court
I did not receive a reply to my last question re. copies and service.
Attorneys have four (4) more days to work on their filings and file electronically on Monday afternoon.I was forced to waste so much time on emails with Kirkland, Kroll chat, emails to the court.I almost gave up.
Exh. 9: 10/8/25 Sunnova email Notice of Filing of 10/6/25 Plan Supplement
Two days after the Plan Supplement was filed, at 7:16 pm on 10/8, the Sunnova Team sent out this notice. Obviously, way too late for anyone having to submit paper filings and ballots to the court.
So typical!
From the 10/6/25 Sunnova 40-page Plan Supplement:
Exhibit B
Schedule of Non-Released Parties
[To be filed at a later date.]
After we voted!
I have spent hours trying to find out about the third party release. What is that? Who? Why?
Why would anyone vote to release third parties?
Our only chance to find justice is to go after third parties.
In my experience, we have a good chance of receiving information about forged signatures and other crimes if we are loud and persistent. Send out press releases and post on Reddit and social media in the solar groups. A reward and/or immunity would help. We need to go after the people who profited from this systemic fraud.
It is now midnight, my vision is blurry, my eyes are itching (chronic Dry Eye), and my brain is fried.
Not only did I have so little time to work on my Objection because of the Columbus Day deadline, but I had to waste so much time on Kroll and emailing the court to find out how my Objection could be received on time.
Once again, the little people are being railroaded.
Our only purpose in life is to create more wealth for the oligarchs and (aspiring) billionaires?
CONCLUSION
I had NO time to research bankruptcy laws.
Plans and disclosures should have to be filed at least a few weeks prior to voting and they should be complete.
Summaries in plain English should be provided for unrepresented consumers.
Isn’t fraud NOT dischargeable?
ALL Sunnova customers should be notified that they can still submit their claims and they should be paid FIRST, not last. Resources should be allocated for professionals to assist the defrauded customers.
The corporate creditors had attorneys and accountants to analyze the risks of doing business with Sunnova and they are represented by the Unsecured Creditors Committee.
Most defrauded customers are the disadvantaged:
The old, sick, disabled, poor, technologically challenged, immigrants with limited English skills, etc.
I respectfully request that the Court NOT approve this incomprehensible bizarre Plan and take action to ensure that JUSTICE is served.
