341 Today

[justagirl]

Well, I had my 341 this morning. It was 2 minutes, maybe 3 minutes tops. I had this huge binder full of information and didn't have to show a single thing, besides my ID and SS card.

One lawyer was reprimanded for not sending paperwork to the trustee as required, and from what the trustee said it sounded like the lawyer didn't do it for all of his cases. Another lawyer got reprimanded for speaking with a client too loudly. Yet another lawyer was told to review the exemption codes, and the trustee even told him specifically which ones to review, as he was using the wrong ones.

I did stumble on the "why filing for bankruptcy" question, my well thought-out answer (and well rehearsed, or so I thought...LOL) went right out the window and I was left sputtering a bit...kinda rambling about the economy.

When she was finished with me, she said "Thank you. Complete." I'm hoping that complete means that my 341 hearing is complete...

Well, let's see how the next days go...hopefully just as smooth!

See... not so bad! You were better prepared than the professionals. Don't worry about stuttering. I'm not even sure what I said at the table.

Welcome to the 60-Day Club!

I found this to be true with many cases on my 341 day as well, that really surprised me! I also credit our preparedness to this forum, thanks again everyone!

Congratulations JAG, yay!!!!

you did it! congrats. my sister is about to do her own, she has made herself sick worrying about it. i try to tell her it going to be ok. i will show her your posts. i just got my discharge in the mail today after calling last friday, took 4 months to discharge!!! hope yours goes faster.

at my 341, one guys lawyer forgot to fill out a form. the tt told him to go to the back of the line, fill out the form and he would be the last case of the day, they were both red as lobsters (the lawyer with shame, the client with anger). my tt was very vocal and demanding, but fair.
