CHAPTER 7 – 341 MEETING OF CREDITORS

Overview:

Pursuant to Rules 2002 and 2003, §341 meetings will be set not less than 21 and not more than 40 days from the order for relief with at least 21 days’ notice of meeting date to all creditors.  Where, however, the place for the meeting is not regularly staffed by the United States trustee or an assistant, the meeting may be held within 60 days after the order from relief.  All chapter 7 cases are entered as non-asset so no claims bar date is fixed.

Presumption of Abuse language is included on the Chapter 7 §341 Meeting of Creditors notice.  The wording is determined based on the Means flag set at the time §341 Meeting of Creditors notice was created.
