341 Meeting Questions in Raleigh, NC – What to Expect?
A 341 Meeting (also called a Meeting of Creditors) is a key step in the bankruptcy process, but it’s not as scary as it sounds! This meeting is between you and the bankruptcy trustee. There’s no judge involved, and it usually lasts just a few minutes. At Cameron Bankruptcy Law, we’ll guide you every step of the way, making sure you’re well-prepared for this important moment.
What Is a 341 Meeting?
A 341 Meeting is part of your bankruptcy process where you meet with a trustee who will ask you a few basic questions about your case. The trustee is typically an attorney or CPA, and while this meeting is important, it’s mostly a formality. Cameron Bankruptcy Law will make sure you’re ready and feeling confident. We’ll even be there with you during the meeting!
What to Bring to the 341 Meeting
Make sure to come prepared! Here’s a list of what you’ll need to bring:
- A photo ID (driver’s license, government ID, or passport)
- Proof of your Social Security Number (Social Security card or W-2 form)
- Copies of deeds, mortgages, and vehicle titles
- Any other documents requested by your attorney
Don’t bring a cell phone, laptop, camera, or anything that could be considered a weapon (even a pocket knife!). And leave the kids at home for this one.
Questions You’ll Be Asked
During the meeting, the trustee will ask you some simple questions like:
- What is your name and address?
- Did you list all your assets and debts?
- Do you understand what a reaffirmation agreement is?
- Have you recently won any money or given away property?
These questions are straightforward, and with Cameron Bankruptcy Law by your side, you’ll be well-prepared.
What Happens After the 341 Meeting?
After the meeting, you’ll need to complete a financial management course, finalize any reaffirmation agreements, and follow through on your Statement of Intentions. Your attorney will guide you on whether to reaffirm or redeem any secured debts, like a car loan.
Be sure to stay current on your secured debt payments (like car or mortgage payments) and follow all court orders. If any creditors still contact you after the meeting, let us know right away.
How to Prepare
The key to a smooth 341 meeting is preparation. Arrive a little early to get settled, and listen to the questions asked of others. Dress business casual (no suits needed!) and most importantly, be honest. We’ll make sure you’re confident and ready for the meeting.
