pittsburgh pa 341 meetings

[pa308]

I would like to go watch a 341 meeting prior to when I file to see what its like.

Has anyone filed in pittsburgh pa and know where the meetings are held and whether observers can get in?

Hey--I think your idea is GREAT!!!--Especially for those of us who are a little over the edge with anxiety-ummm...like me!!!

-watching the real thing would let me know what to expect.

I have some questions:
--what kind of permission (if any) is needed to enter these proceedings?

Aren't some things disclosed in BK hearings 'confidential' ??? Like if they review your SS# outloud or ask you to state other info

Can ANYONE just enter my hearing during BK???

Your SS# is never spoken aloud during the 341. The trustee asks for your copy of the card and compares it to what is on your forms - that's all.

Filing bk is a public record so yes, anyone could come in and listen to any 341 meetings they want. However, with the heightened security these days, they would have to come in through the metal detector and many times they may also be asked to provide a reason why they are there or even sign in and out (we had to in our courthouse). Can't imagine many people would find 341 meetings entertaining unless they have a specific reason (like you do) for wanting to be there.

My meeting was not at the courthouse, but in the office building behind the doubletree hotel. I'm sure there are multiple locations. I would refer to the letter received
