What is the Sua Sponte Hearing a Week after 341 meeting?

[milagrakj]

I filed pro se and had my 341 meeting today. Everything went well. I received notice that there will be a Sua Sponte hearing next week. What is this?

Sua sponte

I can only tell you it translates to something like "of one's own will", but I've never heard of this in relation to BK...

[WoodSprite]

just found this in a legal dictionary...

Sua Sponte

(n) When a judge makes a decision on his own observation, without a request made by any party involved in the proceedings, such orders or decisions are known as Sua Sponte. The phrase was derived from Latin words which mean" of one's own will", that is a decision not forced.

Sua Sponte Hearing

This "Sua Sponte Hearing" ended up being a status hearing that is triggered automatically when someone files pro se. The judge just asked a couple of questions much like the trustee did at the 341 meeting. My judge was very personable and was genuinely interested in how I was able to fill out all the paperwork and know what to do without a lawyer. He asked if I completed my credit counseling AND my financial counseling. I told him I had. He laughed out loud and addressed all the lawyers in the courtroom, "Now tell me lawyers how can this lady have all of her paperwork complete early and people with lawyers seem to have missing paperwork at the last day possible?" When the judge asked the trustee if she had any questions for me she stood and told the judge that all my paperwork was in order and that nothing needed to be amended. So obviously I'm really happy that it all worked out.

So does this mean your in the market for a new career? Sounds like you nailed it, congrats and also congrats on making fools out of the dumber attorneys out there , I love it !!! You go girl....

Ha, no new career for me. I'm a teacher so I already work with kids. Lawyers would be worse I'm afraid.

sorry but i am just surprised that what appear to be bk professionals are coming to a support forum for help prepping their cases...makes me even more satisfied with my pro se experience, because if i were to hire someone i would expect them to know their stuff.

The first incident sounds like it would be Chapter 7 but I can't see how the second one would be. The trustee would go after the house in a heartbeat. But I'm not a lawyer and I don't know all of the ins and outs.
