19 Jan Every Thing You Wanted to Know About the Massachusetts Bankruptcy Trustee Meeting But Were Afraid To Ask
The”Meeting of Creditors” is also called the 341 Meeting because, well, 341 is the section of the Bankruptcy Code that creates the required meeting. Creditors are invited but very rarely appear.
It’s where you meet the trustee appointed to your case. The trustee is the guy or gal who wants to see if you’ve committed fraud or are hiding an asset. She’s the one who will reduce an available asset to cash and distribute it to your creditors, after taking her cut. She’s the one who will harass you mercilessly if there’s an arithmetic mistake in your Chapter 13 plan.
Here is where your Massachusetts trustee meeting will be held, and where your Massachusetts case will be filed.
