CREDITOR MEETING FOLLOW-UP: In the event documents or information are requested by the Trustee at the meeting of creditors, said information must be provided to the Trustee’s office no later than 10 days from the date of creditors meeting. If you are unable to comply with the 10-day requirement, Debtors, or their counsel, must contact the Trustee’s office within the 10-day timeframe and give an estimated date by which the documents will be received. If the documents are not received within the 10-day time frame, deadline extensions will be sought with the bankruptcy court for exemptions and/or discharge. Failure to provide the Trustee with the documents requested, or to contact the Trustee’s office within the 10-day time frame may result in an action being filed under 11 U.S.C. §727(a) 3 for failure to produce books and records.
