Our trustee surprised us with closing the case six months earlier (it was supposed to be a 60 month plan but he closed it after the 54th payment). We then scrambled to do the second debtor education class thing (I know, we should have done that a year or two ago already but didn't) because the certificates are supposed to be filed with the court before the last payment is made but in this case it will not be possible. According to the law this could mean that the case will be closed but we will not be discharged and have to reopen it just to get discharged. Can this really happen? We always thought we have until December LATEST to get this done but with the early closing we were caught by surprise. Our "lawyer" is pretty much useless and too slow for my taste. Would it make sense to just go downtown and file the B23 forms with the clerk or do I really have to wait for our lawyer to get his things straight and have him file the certificates?

Take the course and then file the certificate along with the Official Form B23 yourself. Pretty simple! Hurry and just get this done!
(You could file a Motion for Reconsideration should your case close without discharge, just don't let that happen. Just get this done and filed... tomorrow!)Chapter 7 (No Asset/Non-Consumer) Filed (Pro Se) 7/08 (converted from Chapter 13 - 2/10)
Status: (Auto) Discharged and Closed! 5/10
