Trustee took tax refund but no creditor claims

My case was discharged back at the end of March but the trustee did take my tax refund and put a notice out to my creditors that they have until May 15th to file claims. So far NONE of my creditors have filed claims, my question is what if no creditors file claims by the 15th? Will I get my tax refund back in full from the trustee? Theoretically it makes sense that I should since it is not the trustees money but I was curious to see what your opinions are. :)

Thanks for any input..

I don't know the answer but I can't wait to hear it :) And with the stimulus checks why are they taking those when I see a lot of CH 7's are no asset ?? That confuses me because who gets all the money then ?????

I would have thought they'd just divide it up somehow amongst the creditors that were listed. I like your way of thinking better, though. :D

I'm pretty sure they need to file a claim before they can receive a distribution.

I thought that if creditors didn't stake a claim, that the Trustee kept it all. :cry:

To make you all feel better, I have an AP against my BK without any debt, judgment, or other liens. If I only had your problems, I wouldn't be working towards becoming a practicing alcoholic. Something I'm not yet but may work towards that goal. This guy has a five year old civil suit almost two years fallow, until the bk. Then all hell is breaking loose. He is an old enemy of ours for some years and a millionaire. He can out spend me. He does not want my money, he wants me dead or in prison or both.

If there are no files claimed against the estate then I do think the money is released to you. There might be a small fee the Trustee takes for managing it I'm not sure.
