US Trustee asking for more info? Concern?

[nfreeze]

I just got a letter from the US Trustee asking for the following:
1)Six Months Of Banks Statements
2)Six Months Of Utilities
3)Six Months Of P&L's for LLC
4)Mortgage Statements (Both First and Second)
5)Business Bank statements for 6 months

Is this normal? I find it a bit strange that I have not heard from my local assigned trustee but I get this from the US trustee.

I will furnish it all but wondering why my local trustee has not asked for anything.

I filed pro se on August 12 with my 341 scheduled for Sept 8th.

Thanks!

The local assigned trustee should be sending you a request for info a couple of weeks before your 341. (which is around now)

The US trustee will always ask for more documentation if an llc or self employment is involved. This is normal. The timelines that the US trustee is asking for documentation for are quite short so I don't think there is any cause for alarm. If the US trustee finds something questionable, often he/she will as for 2 years of documentation. The fact that you are being asked for only 6 months of documentation is a good sign in my opinion.

Thanks for the input! I was just curious. I will gather everything up and send it in asap. While I am at it, I think I will burn 2 copies of everything so when the local trustee asks, I have it all together. I was wondering if I should just send her a packet as well. I have nothing to hide but have heard people on the board say to not give more information then is asked for.

Again- thank you for the input.

Just curious, did you file non-consumer or consumer? I am assuming consumer based on the info they are asking for.

I would say no; do not send or volunteer anything your trustee has not directly asked for. Mine even went so far as to say that in his letter to me. He also said do not call or write me at all, especially to check to see if I received your package; I'm far too busy, seriously.

You may end up upsetting the trustee if you send a pile of stuff they then have to sort through that they really did not want.

You may be thinking you can speed up the process by being proactive; you cannot. They will request certain documents and you will provide them before the 341 meeting.

However you idea to make double copies to anticipate the trustee request, stellar!

Best of luck!

Angles- yes- consumer....

doudis2- good point. Nothing in the mail today requesting documentation so I will enjoy the weekend. I did amend my petition schedule B&C today as I changed from using the state of MN exemptions to using the Federal exemptions which I was able to protect some money in my business account since I am upside down on my house and had over $10K on a Federal Homestead exemption that I could use.

That also fit all of the assets I had into 100% exempt limits so if everything flies as is, I would be a no distribution case. Had I left it alone, the State of MN does not have a wildcard to protect bank accounts or the option to use the homestead exemption.

Wish me luck!
