Bank Statements...did they look at yours?

I too provided 6 mos worth. Have no idea what they actually looked at. I wouldn't worry too much about this. If asked, just tell them the truth. I don't see this as an issue at all.

My experience was that my attorney asked for 6 months of statements before we filed. I don't know what he handed over, but I assume just 90 days worth. We had some deposits into our acct that were not paychecks (money from medical reimbursements, money paid to us for our son's school fundraiser, etc..) and the UST got involved and wanted information and any proof (check stubs, letters of explanations) that we had to substantiate where the money came from. They assume you are trying to hide income if you don't have good proof for deposits like that.

just my experience & we are still in the midst of things so I can't say (yet) how things will play out.

In my BK info surfing, I have come across many post saying that a filer was told to give his attorney 6 mos. worth of bank statements. However, when they went to their 341, the Trustee looked at only the latest one or just the last two.

What was your experience with this?

I am asking because I received 9K from a relative last July and it worries me. I used the money to pay off two cc's but then max'd them out again because I had to use them for gas, taxes, utilities..on and...on. I bought NO luxuries at all......just trying to keep my head above water.

BTW...when I file, it will be 7 months since I received the money... withdrew it and paid the cards.
