Is it sufficient if I just scan all records as PDFs (BK documents, trustee payment stubs, attorney correspondence) during the course of the Chapter 13 plan and then shred all the paper?

I suggest checking with your lawyer first to see if there are certain documents that need to be kept as originals rather than scanned pdf copies that can be altered.Originally posted by appleae View PostI am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.

I sure hope printouts from PDF files are sufficient. For all the documentation I will need to provide, an electronic version IS the original version. I get all of my bills, bank statements and paystubs electronically. I file my taxes electronically and have only PDF versions of the actual returns.LadyInTheRed is in the black!

It's sure a lot easier to keep everything electronically then have stacks of paper lying everywhere!Comment

i would say keep all your the paper work you acquired during your bankruptcy because they are orginal hard copies, you can scan them for your records and perhaps a just in case record. if it where me I would hold on to them around 4 years after your discharge just like your tax refunds and bills.Chapter13
