    Conversion-ch13 To Ch7-341 Meeting

    Hi Guys and Gals

    SHREWWWWWW, some may know my story, some may not. In Brief: I was working 2 full time jobs and originally filed for Ch13. I proposed $250 pay back, but the trustee saw that I could pay $800 (practically my whole paycheck from my day job). The decision went to the judge, even though the median test proved I had no disposable income, schedules I and J proved different, but the judge did not want to decide on the case and asked us to resubmit another pay plan (basically, quit one job, or spend more more to lower my disposable income). After careful consideration, I thought to myself why suffer the next 5 years paying back $800 when I can just quit one job for "a minute," and pick back up after a couple months.

    So I quit one job, and filed for Chapter 7.

    I had another 341 meeting TODAY! YOU KNOW I was nervous. But it went sooo sooo smoothly. I was sooo sooo sooo estactic! Being a GAMBLER, I really thought I'd have issues. But my gambling addiction was never brought up. The Trustee that was filling in for the Trustee that was soppose to show up (maybe that helped - I dunno). The only question he raised was why I was filing for Ch 7. Both my lawyer and I said, because I could no longer handle working 80 hours a week. He smiled and said, "That's a good reason!"

    Now just waiting it out. Still am nervous though of getting objections, but half the battle is over!

    Thank you all for this wonderful site and support!

      Hi "Beth!" What a difference in my life (working 1 job) has made in the past several weeks! I've even picked up OT. So I don't think I'll be seeking even a a part time for awhile!

        M, I know what you mean, I recently quit my part-time job too and it's so nice to know all my evenings and weekends are my own. I will still pick up hours sometimes but it will be up to me when that is. My day job is pretty stressful ( I work with special ed kids) so I need the down time in the evenings. I'm glad things are working out well for you.

              Good For You!!!!

              Hi Catch
              that is great news for you! I too am nervous about my gambling issues and what the court & trustee will say! The reason I am going chap 7 is that I, too am tired of working 12 hour days just to TRY to make ends meet..only to find that I cant..and then, gambling to try to 'make up' the difference (vicious circle it was! lol). 12 hr days puts me OVER the median..however, if I work 8 1/2 to 9 hrs daily (still hard with being a single mom of 51 yrs with a 12 year old daughter!)..I will be just under the median and can file ch7! so, I guess its in my best interest to work less hours and watch over my daughter more closely (she is at that age where she is getting interested in boys, etc) and wipe the slate clean if I can. Then NO MORE GAMBLING ONLINE!! maybe a trip every couple months to a casino..but never again online! I was glad the president passed the bill to eliminate online casinos in the US! He must have had me in mind! LOL.
              Anyway..sorry to get off the beaten path. I am so very happy to hear all went well for you! It gives me encouragement for what I may be up against.
              Now you can relax and wait

                So glad all came out well at your 2nd 341 Catch! I worked 2 jobs for over 10 years and its wonderful to just come home and enjoy my evenings and have my weekends to just catch up around the house. I hope I will never have to resort to working 2 jobs again. Welcome to the 60 day club!

                  I remember your story. You are one of the many reasons why everyone should avoid a chapter 13 except for a few exceptions. You tried to do the right thing by your creditors and where did it get you? I wish you a fast 60 days!
