What happens after I file for bankruptcy?

Shortly after the petition is filed, a Chapter 13 trustee is appointed and the court will issue a Notice of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case. 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 creditors to file a proof of claim.
• Deadline to file a complaint objecting the dischargeability of debts
• Deadline to object to the property you 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.
