HI

We were Discharged chapter 7 No asset 8-31-10... Very Happy.


We are in the Middle District FL.

It has been 18 days since discharge and case is still not closed. ( check pacer every couple of days)

I called the case worker about 10 days ago. she said the closing is just procedural and has No idea on timeline of the closing.......

I just want it to close. so it is Final Final Final and can just get on with my life.

Should I call her again in a few weeks to ask again or just chill out?

Anyone else in the Middle District FL chapter 7 No Assets had there case take several weeks to close after Discharge?

My lawyer called him he told me to call the case worker and gave me her name and number. ( 10 days ago)

From what I've read, if you're a no asset case -- it's just procedural and nothing at all to be concerned about. Congratulations!

ssmdem is correct. "Closing" the case in a CH7 no asset scenario is merely an administrative proceeding within the court and has no effect on you. The discharge was the last thing concerning your case that affected you. Congrats, enjoy your fresh start.

The case closing is just an administrative portion of your case, unless you're an asset case. if you're an asset case, the case can't close until the administration of your non-exempt assets is completed. Don't worry about your case not closing. It's actually a good thing to keep it open. If you forgot a creditor or something, you don't need to re-open the case and pay $260 to update your schedules. Think of it on the bright side!

Remember, the goal of a bankruptcy is to receive a discharge of your debts. You've already done that. My case has been open from the time of my discharge (in May 2010) until now. I'm not even going to call the Case Manager. I kinda like it open.

Now that's interesting --- not worrying about it closing. Make so much sense.

If you read the stickies you would know this.

Pathfinders we were discharged in July and closed earlier this month. I thought we were all finished but attorney says we must file 2010 Fed/State Returns and then receive any refund in the form of a paper check and send to our TT and he will keep a pro-rated portion and send us the rest. Funny thing is we kept and spent our 2009 refunds before filing and the TT never mentioned one word about our 2010 Returns/Refunds but attorney says we are obligated and must send them in or else.

thanks everyone. NC If you would have read the stickey you would have known that it may take a few days beyond the 60 days to Discharge.
