IMPORTANT INFORMATION
YOUR CASE IS NOT FILED AND THERE IS NO CASE NUMBER, until:
- You have completed all of the above,
- You have fully paid for your legal services,
- I have sent you a draft copy of your petition,
- You have reviewed it, signed it, initialed every page, scanned it as a clean, clear in-focus PDF file, and emailed it back to me, and
- I have emailed you a copy of your FILED petition along with your case number and further instructions.
LOOK!
READ THIS:
- You are not protected from your creditors just by paying me some (or all) of the fee…
- You are not protected from your creditors when you take your class…
- You are not protected from your creditors just because you signed your completed papers…
- …although all of these things are important requirements.
- You are only protected when, *after* all that happens, I file your signed papers with the court and you have a case number from me…
- …so it’s in your best interest to make all the above happen as fast as possible.
POST-FILING TIMELINE
After we have filed your case, I will ask you to provide additional documents, as requested by the Trustee to whom we’re assigned.
You are required to take a second, post-filing, Debtor Education course. Click here to take Debtor Education course #2 (Attorney code: RIDLEY; District is California Central;
Your Trustee Meeting:
Roughly 30 days after we file your case, you will appear at your 341(a) Meeting of Creditors and Trustee Meeting.
Generally, no creditors appear; this is very rare.
At your meeting, you will be placed under oath and asked questions by the Trustee who is assigned to your case. When your case is filed, I will email you a list of typical questions asked by the Trustee.
This meeting is non-confrontational and civil. You will not be yelled at or threatened or shamed.
Discharge
Roughly 80 days after your meeting, the Court will issue your discharge. I will email you a copy, and you will receive a copy by mail a few days later. KEEP THIS DOCUMENT. It is among the most important documents in your case.
Case Closing
A few days after your discharge, your case will close. I will let you know by email once your case closes.
Rebuilding your Credit
Near the end of your case, I will enroll you in the credit rebuilding course from 720creditscore.com. This course is yours at no extra cost ($1,000 value) and will teach you the fastest, most ethical, legitimate, moral, practical, and effective way to increase your credit score to above 720 within 24 months of your discharge.
