Items Sitting on a Clerk's Desk and your 60 Day Objection Period

[bobbyquefour]

Just wondering...............

I noticed that the main letter I got states the last day for creditor objections (the 60 days), but it says the last day that these objections are "received in the office of the clerk".

That being said, is it possible that there could conceivably be documents, adversarial proceedings, etc, that are sitting on a desk somewhere and just have not been entered into Pacer yet, or is it simply and matter of factly that once your 60 days is up, it is up, and unless it any objections are entered into Pacer by the end of that day you are done? Just wondering.

I thought of this since it is tax time and people are cool as long as their tax documents, when being mailed, are "postmarked" by the 15th. Is this true here, that as long as your info is received in the office by your 60 day period it is good, even if it isn't entered in yet???

I say this because I would hate for any of us to, say, be in day 67 on Pacer before discharge, all excited and waiting to see "Discharged" and all of a sudden something gets nailed up on Pacer that rocks our world....are we safe after 60 days no matter what?

I would say, 'Probably not'. The reason is that every single governmental agency that I have been employed with, or otherwise associated with, has a huge date stamp that gets plastered on every single document that comes into that office--no matter how trivial. Even the 'junk mail' that ends up being thrown away gets logged, precisely because of your question.

And trust me, just because you are worrying about your OWN documents, etc., doesn't mean that the big box banks and creditors are following your particular case that closely. Most of these are simply following scripts for dealing with debt.

Good luck to you!

A follow up: According to what I have read, if a creditor does sneak in an Objection or an AP on day 59 and 1/2, or even day 60, that person is going to have to justify his claim big time. If they file AFTER day 60, then never-mined. You and your family get to go celebrate.

Well, I have until mid-may until the 60 days is up, but the time seems to be going a little faster now. It just made me wonder since I know sometimes things are "received" in offices and then "dealt with" later...I didn't know if this was the case....
