Bankruptcy Meeting of Creditors

Approximately a week after you file your petition, you (and all the individuals you put in your bankruptcy petition) will receive a notification that a "creditors meeting" has been set. The bankruptcy trustee runs the hearing and, after swearing you in, will ask you questions about your assets and the documents you submitted. Your bankruptcy attorney will be at that hearing with you. In the large majority of Chapter 7 bankruptcies, this is the debtor's only visit to the courthouse.
