Congrats! Your bankruptcy has been filed and now you are getting ready for your creditors’ meeting. Below are seven important things you need to know before your creditors’ meeting.

[av_heading tag=’h2′ padding=’10’ heading=’#1 – Your Financial Management Course’ color=” style=” custom_font=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ custom_class=”][/av_heading]

First, if you haven’t already completed the financial management (Abacus Financial Management) you need to do that ASAP. Just email us verifying you have completed the course and we will make sure we have the appropriate certificate, etc. – you would just need to bring the financial management fee of $15.00 in a certified check or money order made out to Duncan Law, LLP. We need to have all of that information before the creditors’ meeting on Monday.

Second, you will need to be at the location for the creditors’ meeting at 8:50 AM sharp, if not a few minutes before hand. You just want to make sure you’re not late! I may not be there right at 8:50 AM, don’t panic – I’m on my way. The creditors’ meeting is located on the first floor at 101 S. Edgeworth St. in Greensboro, NC. If you want, check out this video to see how to get the creditors’ meeting from our Greensboro office.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Third, you will need to make sure that you leave everything other than your financial management fee, driver’s license and social security card and any other paperwork that you need in the car. No cell phones, they won’t let you bring them in as you go through security.

Fourth, I’m a visual person. If you are like me and like to know what to expect before walking in a strange place for the first time then check out the following pictures. To help you get a mental image of what it will be like in the creditors’ meeting I have put together these pictures from inside the creditors’ meeting room.

[av_heading tag=’h2′ padding=’10’ heading=’#5 – The Questions They Will Ask You’ color=” style=” custom_font=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ custom_class=”][/av_heading]
[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Fifth, they are going to ask you a handful of questions. If you are there early you can get a good idea of the types of questions that they will ask. Generally, they will ask your name, where you live, if you’re employed and where, whether you have any domestic support obligation (child support and alimony), whether you are expecting a big inheritance and whether you reviewed your paperwork (that’s what we did in the signing appointment). They could ask you a few other questions specific to your case but those are the most common questions that they will ask. Of course, I’ll be there if you have any questions or concerns.

Sixth, wear whatever you would wear on a typical day. You don’t need to get dressed up.
