Job offer after filing CH 7

. You are probably better off writing the mumbo jumbo than trying to leave it blank and having something to send you a deficiency notice for.

Yes, of course, which is why I complied. It's just that the whole situation felt awkward. One of the points HHM has made before, and one which I agree with, is that the hardest part about being a pro se is your inexperience. Something happens and you don't know why or whether it is even important at all. Because you're inexperienced you don't know what you don't know and it's easy to be always looking over your shoulder. I have spent the last year dealing with the legal system as a pro se on a weekly basis in one form or another and the hardest part has been maintaining a sense of proportion. There has been more than once where the client in me has wanted to fire the lawyer in me.

Yes, a pro se debtor could fall to "bad" advice, even from the Trustee's office. I specifically remember during my Chapter 13 confirmation that I had to go sit with the Trustee's "office" and a creditor to iron a 2 details. When we got to the conference room outside the courtroom, the Trustee's assistant insisted that I had to be in a 100% plan. Had I not known the law and the practices in that District, I could have easily switched to a 100% plan (although more likely I would had converted to a Chapter 7 at that point). I even had issues with the Case Manager who insisted giving me a deficiency at least twice based on her not understanding the rules and the laws. I was able to overcome these by asking her to review it with someone else and get back to me.

One of them was on whether a non-consumer case required Form 6. I had checked the box which clearly read that they were not required for non-consumer cases. It was interesting to say the least.

Your dads check should be fine. If it should even come up, but it probably won't and don't mention it if it doesn't. As said don't answer any questions that aren't asked. Only question that you'll definately get asked regarding future income is the one if you expect to win the lottery, to receive any sort of inheritance, etc. Stupid question, and my trustee even said everyone always laughs at it. I'd be suprised if the $500.00 check came up, neither will possibly the job situation. I was unemployed when filing and my trustee didn't ask if I had found employment or even a hope of finding employment.

To ease you even if the dad's check comes up, I reported no income on my paperwork, but the trustee noticed I have some monthly bills that need paid. I told him I was borrowing from family every month. And I am. And he was fine with that. Said he would close my case as a non asset case, wished me better luck, and currently I'm awaiting discharge on PACER.

My 341 was pretty laid back, with a pretty laid back trustee. Mine was 1 of 2 Pro Se cases and mine was probably shorter than them all. Seriously 60 seconds maybe.

Thanks for sharing that. Nice to hear about the 341 experience going so well, too. Hope mine goes like yours!

Congratulations on your new job. I hope you do well on your exam! Please keep us posted!

The 341 was a month ago, but just the standard questions and over in about 5 minutes. And, I started the new job!

Just waiting for the discharge now.
