I just passed 14 days after the 341...

So does this mean I have no worries as far as any objections by the UST?

[BassBoy]

I do believe that objections can happen up until the actual date of your discharge.

Dunno lots of other people were saying he can only object within 10 days.... why is this such a debatable topic?

[mike258]

The UST has 10 calender days to file a presumption of abuse statement (basically objecting to your means test). She has the full 60 days to try to to dismiss for "bad faith" or "totality of circumstances"

So you are not safe until 60 calendar days past the 341 meeting.

Not much to debate really.

Mike summed it up nicely. I would say though that in most cases, if the UST was going to take an interest in your case, you would have heard either before your 341 or at your 341.

I see... so many caviats

Mike is exactly right.

Generally though, the 10-day hurdle is the big one. You would more than likely know if the Trustee was having trouble under 707(b)(3) (bad faith and totality of circumstances) within days of the 341 Meeting. The UST usually doesn't just spring on that type of dismissal on you.

Thanks everyone for the clarifications.
