    Filed Yesterday

    Rec'd an e-mail from my atty's office about 9:00 pm last night that we had filed electronically, gave me the case #, the name of the trustee and the date and time of the 341 meeting. The 341 meeting is scheduled for Thursday. Dec. 8th at 11:00 AM. I can understand the Dec. date since the courts, but has anyone else ever heard of such a specific time for a 341 meeting? My understanding was that you normally show up in the morning and just are given a number and just wait. What could 11:00 AM poswsibly mean?
    I didn't realize until Wed. how difficult this all has been on me. I saw the problem for my wife, but thought that I had dealt logically w/ all of this and so there was nothing to be anxious over. However, when my atty's wife called me on Wed. and said we would prob file that night and I told my wife, "Well it's done." I found myself sobbing like a baby.
    One of the reasons that we didn't get filed until last night vs. Wed. was that my attorney's wife and assistant was trying to get things done before sundown. The 13th was Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) when all of your sins are forgiven and the slate is wiped clean. What a great day to file on!!!
    Another interesting tidbit, I was typing a question to this forum re: what to do about checking accounts and whether or not my wife could cash her check that was coming today and pay bills out of it. Her answer was music to my ears. She said, "Once you file, that's it. Your new start begins!
    Thanks for being here for me to read and answering my questions. Today I am greatly relieved and yet fillled with anxiety re: the 341 meeting. Guess that's normal and where I'm supposed to be. I also think that today must be my day for crying. If this were handwritten, there would be so many tear stains that the paper would be sopping wet.
    Thanks again for everything. Art

    You may not actually have your hearing AT 11:00. They schedule a handful of hearings for the same time slot. Mine was scheduled for 10:00, there were 5-6 who were called before me. There was one attorney there w/ several clients-I think the trustee called all of his in order on purpose. There were 5-6 still remaining to go after me as well. (I didn't stick around for those.)
    Most of my information is from personal experience or HOURS and HOURS of online research. When you're searching online, keep in mind there is no guarantee that the info is completely up to date, and your situation is unique from anyone else's. Do your homework, and consult with an attorney so you can make an informed decision.

      Your off too a good start, next is your 341 meeting, and then 60 days later should be your discharge. Hopefully there will be no complication....

      Be on time at your 341 meeting, and keep us posted of what happens,

      My suggestions are from "personal experience" and research only. Do not consider this as legal advice. Each bankruptcy case is different.

        I got a specific time for my 341 meeting also. And I know I am supposed to breathe easier now that I am filed & have date for creditors meeting.... but that is much easier said than done.... hopefully by the end of January (slated for discharge).... I will be in a better mind set!

          I have a specific time too.

          November 17th at 3 p.m. I'll take a 1/2 day at work and get there early and be prepared. I think I"ll be less nervous after the 341 because I'll know where things stand with my vehicle in regards to the FL exemption on it. I will definitely have paperwork from Toyota with all the repairs necessary and hope they won't find it worth their while to seize the car. Keeping my fingers crossed for about a month!
