I had my 341 meeting yesterday morning and just as you all promised it was no big deal. she asked the normal questions "did you read the paperwork? did you include all your creditors? have you ever filed before?" etc. and then she asked for my 2006 tax return.

yikes.

my attorney didn't file my tax return with the court and I didn't think to take it with me! he took the blame in front of the Trustee and she gave me an hour to run to Kinko's, print it from Turbo Tax and run back. She paged through it quickly, said "no further questions" and that was it!

I must say, it was interesting to watch the people ahead of me. One girl filed Pro Se and her paperwork was a mess. The Trustee wasn't mean but she was pretty firm in pointing out all her mistakes. Her case was continued. I felt bad for her.

Two people (in two separate cases) didn't speak English and had to have translators. I'm not even going to say what I think about that.

And one guy got drilled by the Trustee and a creditor who showed up. He claimed a $24,000 interest deduction on his tax return for his girlfriend's place that he does not own. Drives a brand new BMW, gets a car allowance and annual bonuses. It just didn't add up. My attorney and I agreed that he'll probably be the 1 in 250 to get audited. I did not feel sorry for him.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone for your guidance and support. I am so glad to have found this board.

Can't wait until Dec 17!

Congratulations!

It's reassuring to hear that.

Have fun getting through the next 2 months. I'm sure they'll be over before you know it!

Good Luck,

WINGNUT

Just checked PACER:

"Meeting of Creditors Held and Concluded on 10/17/2007. Trustee's Report of No Assets: Trustee of this estate reports and declares under penalty of perjury that the section 341a Meeting of Creditors has been held and certifies that the trustee has performed the duties required of a trustee under 11 U.S.C. 704 and has concluded that there are no assets to administer for the benefit of creditors of this estate. The trustee received no funds or property of the estate and paid no monies on account of the estate. Wherefore, the trustee prays that this report be approved and the trustee be discharged from office."

Just checked PACER:

"[snipped] Wherefore, the trustee prays that this report be approved and the trustee be discharged from office."

Huh?! Is this standard language? "The trustee prays that this report be approved and the trustee be discharged from office"?

Is that some sort of old English language or something or is the trustee just being a smartass? What's up with this ?

[ohwell]

mine said the same thing, I think its standard.

Pakettle I was thinking the wording was odd also so I checked pacer to see how mine read same thing but she prayed that she was removed and the case discharged. also thought it was odd that she added that my attorneys request for 1500 more bucks was denied saying that we had already paid him a total of 4300 and that was from 2006 to now. strange how it all works.
