No funding for US Trustee Audits??

Im pretty sure this is refering to the audit that they do randomly where they pull one out of every 250 and request a 6 page list of documents. I was told the US trustee would more then likely get involved with my 7 because we are a little over the median although I haven't been thrown under that bus yet. We are under 100,000.

I don't know exactly what that means, but I pray that it means they won't be doing as many audits. We are so far under the median income for our state, I am praying ours go smoothly. But I do love the idea that they will leave more filers alone and let them get on with their lives!

Dragonfly, pray tell what is this 6 page list of documents? We are scheduled for a 2004(b) examination this Thursday, and other than a 15 minute phone conversation with our BK attny on May 5, we have had no futher communication. We have NO idea what we should be bringing. Thanks.

FYI, they announced recently that they are restarting the audits. This time though 1 out of every 1000 will be audited

OMG! EUREKA! We must be one of the 1000 being audited! No wonder no one seems to understand why our Ch. 7 is so painful!!

We were handed the 6 page document by the UST at our 341 hearing. It requires us to show receipts for everything for the 12 month period before we filed, e.g., pay stubs, childcare, health care, health insurance payments, food, clothing, charitable contributions, employment offer letter, copy of benefits manual for employer, rental agreement, medical and dental payments, copies of all insurance policies, student loan payments... and the list goes on... and on... and on!!

If we were that good at keeping track of our finances we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with!!

AMEN Help. If we could track our finances like that, we probably wouldn't need bk. I think if you asked for a list like that from any one of us, it would be difficult to produce. It could very well be a random audit if the UST handed you forms for additional info. at the 341, but I have very little experience with this type audit.

My UST wasn't at my 341 and for them to interact at the 341 doesn't seem to be the norm so I think you're on to something unfortunately. Good luck with your case and I hope things go well for you.

There are other members of our site who have gone through the random audits. The two that pop to mind are both now discharged.

WantToBeDebtFre is one if you want to check out her posts (or even her blog). Here's her page http://www.bkforum.com/member.php?u=7238. I think the link to her blog is in her signanture.

DivorceRuinedMe is another who has survived an audit. Her page is here http://www.bkforum.com/member.php?u=5918
