Trustee question

[Lajazz947]

I know the name of the trustee.

Any way to check out her track record?

I want to get an idea if she is a hard one or sympathetic.

I don't know about checking out your Trustee's record of rulings. But when I got my Trustee's name (and the Judge's name too) I googled the names to see what was going on....Success!

I found out my Trustee had owned a single asset corp that she filed BK on just a few months before my BK and the sale date of the asset (parcel of land in another area of the state) was just before my 341 hearing. I also found out where she lived, how much she paid for her home and the value of her original mortgage. Also found about various court proceedings and rulings that showed up in google.

This gave me some comfort knowing that the Trustee had been though similar rough times recently. The Trustee was very detailed in her review of my financials, but fair. I have not been discharged yet, but have been officially declared no asset CH 7. So it was worth it to me to google the trustees name. Try it.

If you have an attorney he/she will know about any particular trustee - if he/she ever represented someone else in front of that trustee. My attorney was thrilled to see that I had to be before that particular one. Of course this was in 2004 - before the new laws. In the meantime this particular trustee could have become a real hard***.

I concur, my atty knew my trustee. He was given all the business cases and my atty knew what questions he would ask and what he was looking for in my schedules. Which made me happy because my atty filled out my schedules And sure enough, the trustee asked the questions my atty had said.

I don't recommend searching on PACER. I did this to get a feel for my trustee and apparently the list was 338 pages long. Big bill! ugh. It didn't pop up either that you would be billed for x amount of pages before clicking either, I just searched his last name, found him, clicked him, and 14,000 cases popped up which came up to 338 pages. I do not really agree with that at all.

How much is the bill on pacer?

I googled my trustee's name also and found out a lot of interesting things. Try it!

How much is the bill on pacer?

Well it was 338 pages and I did it twice. DOH! so 676 pages at 8 cents a page was a cool $54.08.

Whats the difference you can not change trustees.

Oh, I don't know.

Just my old obsessive self.
