Motion to Dismiss

[BK ROOKIE]

We have been going through this for over a year. The UST filed a motion to dismiss based on abuse. Our hearing to object to the motion was set for next week. However, the UST decided to drop his motion to dismiss. I assume this means our Chap 7 is going through? If so, how long does it usually take to get the official documents saying it's finished?

Have you checked Pacer?

Rookie

I am likely going to have a lengthy time also and i was wondering if you had any problems with creditors in that year or were you protected so long as you were waiting?

Ah ..... another just like me.... i recieved a notice of withdrawl of the US Trustee's motion to dismiss case for abuse.... I am assuming the next post on the pacer will be discharged?

All of you should be good to go I am pretty sure...

To answer jec's question - as long as you are in the bk, the automatic stay is valid, which means no creditors included in the bk can make any collection attempts (e-mail, phone calls, mails, drive bys). And once the discharge order is given, they are permanently barred from such activity.

If anyone violates this - let your attorney know immediately. Sanctions can be severe for any creditor who does this.

We filed August 25, 2006 and have not had any problems with creditors. Hopefully this will soon be over.

I hope it is justifed to say "Congrats to both of you!" I wonder if it's just coincidence that they dropped both cases' motions to dismiss? I wonder if maybe they are being deluged by so many bankruptcies now that they don't have time to fight so many...? (I hope!) I just saw a statistic which shows bankruptcies climbing very sharply.
