Do I need to attend the meeting of creditors?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Robert Russell Law Office
Yes, you must attend. If you fail to attend w/o permission, the trustee may seek to dismiss your case.

When does court start checking into your personal records?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
You have a big misconception about how the process works and you should be asking your lawyer these questions.  If they haven't explained the process to you, you should hire a different attorney.  Plain and simple. First of all, the bankruptcy court doesn't "check" into anything.  There are certain documents that must be submitted to the court (such as the bankruptcy petition and schedules) and some that get sent to the Trustee in your case (such as tax returns).  Which documents depends on which chapter you are filing. Obviously none of these get submitted until your case is filed. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Can I convert from chapter 13 to chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Deborah Ann Stencel (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Deborah A. Stencel
You can convert to a Chapter 7 if you otherwise qualify for a Chapter 7 (no prior and discharged Chapter 7 in the 8 years before your 13 was filed; no discharged Chapter 13 in the 4 years before your 13 was filed, no excess income currently, etc.) If you do not qualify for a conversion, you may be able to reconfigure your Chapter 13 to make the payment more affordable. Depending on your situation, you may find finishing a 13 is in your best interest. You should see an attorney to discuss your options.
