Hi All-
I know that the experts are here, so I wanted to pose this question to you all. Our Chapter 7 case was filed on October 10 of 2005. We discharged on February 22nd, but were an asset case, because of our 2000 dollar tax return. We are now in October almost a year from when we filed and our case has still not closed! In july the trustee filed a final report, then a application for fees owed. There was a deadline of August 17th to object to his fees. At the end of august, the fees were granted to him for our estate (all 400 dollars) and notices sent out etc. Now it's October...I had called the clerk of courts the end of Augest to see when I might plan on having this nightmare done and over with. He stated that trustee needed to file a final accounting and they would close the case within 3 days of that notice. He said it would take probably 30 days max..well, here we are in October and nothing...no further activity in pacer, no mail etc.
We would really like to get this thing wrapped up and closed, because our lender for our car is willing to refinance to a lower payment for us, but we have to have our case closed out and finished.
Here's my question. I do have the email address to the trustee's firm, do you think sending a quick question to see if anything else is needed of us to that email would be a bad idea. We have had all our assets accounted for and distributed so there is nothing that is left to take. I suspect that the hold up here is due to the massive amount of people that have filed under the old law...but we will only be able to take advantage of this finance offer for another 30 days.
So what's the opinion of the masses here? Should I touch base with the trustee's office or wait it out some more?
Thanks much!

. I know that my trustee (in the state of Virginia) will except emails but will not send emails and/or faxes.
