What happens after all required documents are filed?

Shortly after the petition is filed, a Chapter 13 trustee is appointed and the court issues a Notice of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case, Meeting of Creditors & Deadlines.  This notice is sent to all creditors in the case and contains the following  information:

• Debtor’s name and address

• Date/time/location of the First Meeting of Creditors (also known as 341 Meeting)

• Deadline for creditor to file a proof of claim, if it appears there will be assets that can be liquidated to pay creditors.

• Deadline to file a complaint objecting to discharge or dischargeability

• Deadline to object to the property claimed as exempt

Note: Please read the notice carefully.  The meeting may not be held in the courthouse, but may be held at another location.
