Chapter 7 Question

Aduke1122 — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 22:25:31 GMT

I filed Chapter 7 BK on March 14, 2024. I received the confirmation paperwork from the court showing it was filed. On one of the forms from the court, it says this:

Order to Debtor(s) to Show Cause
The Debtor(s) is to Show Cause why the order for relief should not be set aside,
these bankruptcy proceedings dismissed and, if applicable, the discharge be denied
or revoked for failure to provide Debtor(s) Evidence of Employer Payments (60
days) or Affidavit of Debtor(s) Evidence of NO Employer Payments,. This order
will be deemed vacated upon timely compliance with its provisions.
It is so ORDERED by /s/ Brian T. Fenimore.
Incomplete Filings due by 3/28/2024.
The Court will serve this Order on parties not receiving electronic notice.
This Notice of Electronic Filing is the Official ORDER for this entry.

Can someone tell me what this means? Do I need to turn in something to them?

I am a bit confused!

I'm not an attorney, but it looks like documentation on your recent employment was not filed.

Did you file pro-se, or do you have an attorney?

I filed pro se, they never mentioned me needing to send in my pay stubs yet, I was told that the trustee would ask for all that. But the letter from the trustee does not include pay stubs. I will call them tomorrow.

It sounds like the Trustee is asking for them now; my advice to you is to get all over this like white on rice, the last thing you need is to have your case dismissed.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks, yeah for sure! I will send them in tomorrow, I just got the filing paperwork two days ago. I also have to make an amendment per the trustees request. So, I'm going to do all that tomorrow!

Send them to the Trustee??? If so, your case will get dismissed. You needed to file the paycheck stubs with the court. See Bankruptcy Rule 1007(B)(1)(E).

I do not know where you filed. Many Districts have a local form to use when submitting pay stubs to the court. Since this is specific to your location, you probably should check the bankruptcy court website to see if there is a specific form to include with the submission.
