Not sure what the deal is concerning the bank statements... how bad do they scrutinize? ie. are they looking mainly for large withdrawals (suspected hidden money), or do they judge everything like... oooooh, you spent $15 at Taco Bell on your debit card, should have paid Citi instead.. In a nutshell, why is the bank statement such an issue?

I pulled out a little under $7000 back in March or April because some guy on the news said the FDIC was likley to run out of money and my bank was WaMu... Didn't want to lose that little dab of money I had to live on while I was job searching. Everything else on the statements looked like bill pays. There's about $15 in the account now.
I don't know if they'll go back that far, but I have invoices from the sewer collapse alone that total more than $5000. Can't stiff a plumber.Filed Joint, No Asset, > $100,000 Unsecured Ch.7 6/7/13 ~~ 341 Meeting 7/15/13 ~~ Discharged 9/16/13 !!

Originally posted by backtoschool View PostAs long as you can show where the money was spent, and are accounting for any that is left over in your exemptions, you will be fine. A LOT of people are storing money "under their mattresses" since the banking panic. Also, a lot of people who have creditors looking for their bank accounts, tend to keep cash on hand for daily expenses. You are not going to look any different than most of the cases the trustee sees every day, in my opinion.
But if they really care about what happened to the remaining $2000, I'm sure I can find prove that... insurance, car repairs, utilities, etc. $2000 over six months is chickenfeed.

Originally posted by wantout View PostWhat about a deposit every now and then with funds from a item you sold to pay a CC?
I sold a few items when I was low on cash over the last year to help try to pay a few of these CC. Will I have to account for every deposit?
If you're statement just says deposit $100.00 the trustee is going to want to know where that $100.00 came from.
The fun part was trying to remember where small deposits came from that were made 4 or 5 months earlier.Filed July 7,2009

Dubya is the reason we're all going through this Hell.
I wonder if Dubya is still counting his piles of cash he got from M.B.N.A. for this mess of a law?Filed July 7,2009

Where I do believe we get short-changed is consumer protection against creditors; in particular, those operating out of lax states. The new laws don't go far enough to protect us against these types, who clearly work the system.My comments are solely based on my opinion. The information and links that I have

Originally posted by ForumReader View PostThat is what I have been wondering about regarding these bank statements. However, based on what I have learned from my attorney and on this forum, the trustees look for anything unusual such as large withdrawals from these bank statements and especially on the day the bk was filed, the trustee would look at the balance on the day of the filing. Even though I am still new to this forum, my advice is for anybody filing for bk with unusual transactions such as large withdrawals be prepared in case the trustee questions these what these transactions were for.
If you give me a hint of your trustee's surname. I maybe able to give you a heads-up on them.My comments are solely based on my opinion. The information and links that I have

Thats what I was thinking. My attorney told me to not make any deposits to my accounts in the form of cash any more, last month I sold a couple items I had and deposited $500 total in 2 deposits, then used the money to make a couple of payments.
I would hope the TT would understand but then again I know they dont work for me either.
