help! day 33 waiting for discharge AND..

[tommy463]

I am not sure how it will play out. I have not heard ANYTHING since I sent over my pyastubs. Pacer still says "Awaiting discharge: day 36"

I think that is a good sign? They have not done the "presumption of abuse" that would have been on there 10 days after the 341...and I am almost 40 days into it. Has anyone had a UST make waves this late into it? I feel like all this preasure was lifted...briefly...and now it has been tossed on 10 fold! Also, I have only been at my job for 8 months...it I average out the 8 months of pay (including my recent commissions), I am stilll about 1500 under the means test. I think that should come into play. But, if you take into account from today back 6 months (I filed in Feb) I am barely over the means.

My last job was in a differant, non commission, field...and I did not make any money for about 4 months before getting my new one.

Any thoughts?

Also, thank you to everyone for your input! This forum really helps!

I see. I have only been at my job for 8 months now...and completly new to the field after my trainwreck year of 2007...so I don't know how to show things.

I am just in waiting mode to hear back from the UST after reviewing all the info I sent.

That right there is your best defense against a claim that you didn't disclose an "expected" increase in income; how could you have known with any certainty *what* you'd be making right now?

Tommy, definitely work with your atty to present a rebuttal... I have a feeling this will just go away if you present your case right (unless there are other major factors involved) so think through it carefully and start arming yourself with documentation (for instance, you could include a resume to show that you are entirely new to this field, and previous years' tax history -- if you haven't already provided them -- to demonstrate the differences in income between your last field of emplyment and this sales job). Good luck!!!

Just wanted to update everyone and get it in the forum for future reference / filers.

Day 57 and not a peep from anyone. Monday is day 60...so my fingers are crossed!

I have heard one story of an extention being filed by the UST on day 59...but I think this is rare?

Monday is our day 60 too! I cannot recall reading any stories of problems this late - But I am sure it happens.....Hopefully you are right and it is rare. The waiting will be over soon! Good luck!

Tommy, it can happen, but you're right, it's RARE indeed. If you and your atty provided a response to the UST's inquiry, that may be all that was needed. Here's hoping your 60 days comes and goes without a peep.

Pacer is showing discharge as of this am!

Yeah!

See tommy, nothing to worry about!!! All they were doing was sifting and looking for abuse. They found nothing!
CONGRATS!!!!!!!

[almost]

Wow I feel for you. I think that the new BK rules suck. And that the UST should have the un-even power taken away from them. They should just be paper pusher.
I hope this statement helps.

Hey Tommy, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
