Page Objects and testcases in Test cases Problem cSharp

So, I have setup a class that contains the setup & teardown attributes called Gears.
I have a class that holds the pageObjects and Gears is extended on it and a class for the testcases - Gears also extended on it as well.

So I will have a test case like:

Test
public void test_pageObjectISSue() {
payments_targetPoints pageObject = new payments_targetPoints();

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("someURL");
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("someURL");

pageObject.testEcho();
}

Another:

Test
public void test_shouldwork() {
payments_targetPoints pageObject = new payments_targetPoints();


test_pageObjectISSue();

pageObject.testEcho();

}


public void testEcho()
{
Utilities genUtilz = new Utilities();

this.driver = driver;
try
{
Console.Write("\n" + "This is just a simple test");
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("someURL");
genUtilz.WaitForTesto("tag", "body", 10, driver);

}
catch {
Console.Write("\n" + "could not print");
driver.Quit();

}

}



The second test case calls the first one, what I have been noticing on my other test cases, I would get the pageObject I would call to fail? This one I get an Object Reference no initiated, however on others, it will run through just fine but the pageObject try & catch will catch everytime. I do not know what I am doing wrong?
