Just wanted to share my very brief 341 meeting today in downtown LA.
Showed up 15 mins early. Lots of people there. There is a outside waiting room, then a much larger room where the 90 year old trustee with a giant mustache was sitting. Anyone was free to sit in the main room as long as they were quiet.
At the top of the hour the trustee announced they were starting 9am appointments, instructed us to come up when called, and that we must have ID, etc. All the normal stuff.
I was called up with my lawyer, who was instructed to sit across the table from me, with the trustee sitting in between.
I was at the table for a grand total of 2 minutes. It was a little awkward because everyone in the room (about 50 or so) were listening but at this point I didn't really care.
He asked the following:
-name
-address
-asked for ID
-confirmed ID
-confirmed last year tax return I filed
-had me look at the last years tax return and asked if the information was true
-asked if the petition filed was complete and had I reviewed it
Then he dismissed me.
I'm not worried (nor is my attorney) about it being discharged because it is a very very simple and straight forward chapter 7, with no assets to speak of at all.
The lawyer did say that because its LA, and the backlog, that it usually takes 3-4 MONTHS for it to be discharged but other then it being "official" this wait doesn't really bother me. Nobody is going to challenge my petition, so its really just about having it be totally official.
