IF trustee finds mistakes

[marzipan13]

Ok, I filed pro se... doing the best to fill out the paperwork as correctly as possible. If the trustee finds that I made clerical errors on the documents and asks me about them at the 341 meeting... how would I go about correcting them? Will he allow me to make those corrections?
I'm getting a printout from my 2 banks of activity from the 90 days before filing, what if I realize I've miscalculated my expenses? I don't think that it'll be more than $50 +/-.
I'm just worried that 'what if' I made a mistake... how will I correct it if the trustee points it out to me? Will he want me to redo the paperwork and resubmit it to the court?

Yes, now start/continue reading NOLO books on section/chapter "Amendment" to prepare yourself for possible corrections. You can file/submit alone, then you can amend/change plan too,... nothing further can stop you from continuing, amending, etc.

I have even heard stories where trustee have to debtors how to make the numbers work better and resubmit the schedules. I hate to say this but usually if you have no assets, nothing for them to fight to get they usually pretty much want to get you done and over with. They can't make any money off of you they want to move on to the next file

I didn't file pro se, but while waiting for "my turn" at the 341 hearing I saw a few pro se's go. The trustee was co-operative and understanding for clerical mistakes. However, sloppy or incomplete paperwork is not well received. These guys want to make the determination fairly quickly if there are assets worth recovering or not. If by incomplete or sloppy paperwork you make their job tougher they aren't too happy... these guys (or at least my trustee) was a pro and I bet pretty quick at spotting a liar or someone who is not taking the whole thing as serious as they should.

The last words out of my Atty's mouth prior to going into the hearing room was "Every word coming out of your mouth must be the absolute truth..I mean it". See my post a bit after yours and you can see the sort of big oops the trustee found in my tax return.

Good luck
