When to take the 2nd Debtor Education Class?

[Fallonedward]

Do I have to wait till after the 341 or can I take it now and bring it with me to the 341 next month

After you file, but before you get your discharge. File Form 23 no later than 45 days after your 341.

Our attney's office actually requested that we take that 2nd "class" prior to the 341. They us to have it done and filed a minimum of three business days before our 341. That is different from what I've read on these boards but we did what they told us to do.

I was on pacer (again) and yes they did file them prior to our 341. (I keep checking that pacer LOL - so far no changes from a couple days ago)

You can take it at any time. It is real cool and take it seriously. We enjoyed ours and wish we could take it again (without charge). We actually learned and it was online. Single price for one or two, but you have to request the two option. 'Hub

I took mine the morning after the file date. It was timed so you had to put in the whole 3 hrs...i think thats how long it was.
I really enjoyed it too. $24.00 well spent
They e-mailed a copy to my attorney. couple of weeks later i was checking Pacer and it wasn't recorded yet. Called attoeney and they said that they never did get it. So sent attorney a copy of e-mailed certificate that i got and couple days later it showed up on Pacer. I would have gone along fat, dumb and happy thinking ALL was done.

Ditto to everyone above. Take it anytime after filing, and no later than 45 days post-341.

Hey Joe..
.looks like tomorrow is 30 days down, 30 to go.

[ccsjoe]

Yup...30 days for last day AND 30 days for new job start date too. Already gave notice here. You're almost at your 30 to go as well.

just a couple days behind you. Is this dragging or WHAT. Put up a new countdown timer for date of discharge. HAD to take it away. AHHHHHHHHHH

I took it about a week before 341 and my lawyer filed it on the same day.

I took it 3 days prior to the 341 - However, it was no "wonderful learning experience" for me - I somewhat felt treated like a mentally retarded...

I also didn't get the sense behind the section "alternatives to BK" for a pre-discharge but POST filing-course.

[wnguyen]

Honestly, I didn't learn anything from these pre and post filing 'courses' at all. It's just a waste of time and money. What I learned from this forum is much more and better than from those courses.

Yep, exactly!

bummer for all of you who didn't have a good class experience....we took ours from the local Consumer Credit Counseling agency, both classes were well worth the time and money!

As said before but worth repeating, make sure the class cert. actually gets filed w. the court...quick check on PACER well worth it

Thank you everyone for the responses, I will have to wait till payday on the 15th, so that I can afford to take the class and I will take it that weekend with hubby. Wow 3 hours that is a long time
