question about chap 7
Hi:
I had a Chapter 7 that was discharged in Oct. 2002. The trustee reopened my case in Dec. 2003 when the proceeds from my foreclosed home were turned over to him by my former mortgage company after they took what was owed to them. We have gone through all of the motions, etc and everything is settled. The second mortgage company claimedthey were not notified of the original 341 meeting and did file a claim but it was denied by the bk judge.
Anyway, my attorney bailed on me (says he left the law firm representing me-the law firm says that they decided not to do bk cases, whatever!) and the bk court has me listed as "Pro Se" on Pacer. I was notified by the Trustee on 8/18/05 that he was filing a motion to cover his expenses out of the remaining $4,000.00 of assets that were recovered. All secured debts had been taken care of. This leaves about $2,800.00 left after all the final expenses are paid in my case. Who gets this money? Does the court absorb it or can I file a claim for it? I am more curious than anything else. Of course I could use the money buy I won't die without it. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you.

I'll be watching, you may never know when or how, but I'll be there. I am there now....
