I flew one way back to the midwest and borrowed a car from the in-laws. We are required to surrender our cars to the Trustee by this Saturday. Wasn’t too bad of a 23 hour drive! Luckily weather was great. No snow or rain! But it will suck… as we have been a two car household forever. Now only one car for both of us.

Borrowed a car in preparation to surrender ours to Trustee
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009Completed stipulation agreement
Thursday, February 19th, 2009Today the stipulation agreement was returned to the trustee and finalized. We now have 10 days to surrender our cars, take photos of property we are surrending from our house. Feeling better things are finally in motion to get on with our lives.
Agreed on Chapter 7 Stipulation agreement
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009After my lawyer contacted the trustee regarding the never before talked about 2007 return. Luckily, the trustee stated that was a mistake, we only need to give the 2008 refund (If Any!)
Somehow, the trustee still states my wife is $100 over her exemptions, and wants us to pay for them. OK, OK! We’ll pay the $100 for jeans and T-Shirts… let’s get on with it please!
Bankruptcy trustee throws a wrench in stipulation
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I can NOT believe this! After having agreed on everything and everyone agreed on the outcome, we get the actual written stipulation agreement. NOW, she claims we need to give her our 2007 tax refund which was received in 2008, as well as our 2008 refund, we will get later this year. At no point at any time have the 2007 refund been mentioned! She even asked us at our 341 in November if we had gotten the refund… which we had and already spent on day to day expenses prior to filing our case!
I urgently called my lawyer, and let him know we have a problem. He said he’s not suprised she tried to sneak something in at the end. He assumes he will now have to attend the hearing the end of the week, that had been scheduled from one of her previous disptes. I can’t believe this! Ugh!
He will contact her, and try to determine if this is incorrect, or if she really is trying to claim the refund. I hope I hear something quick. I’m gonna have a frickin’ stroke.
Trustee issues worked out stipulation agreement on the way
Monday, February 16th, 2009Good news, trustee removed the security deposit. We don’t know exactly how she calculated it, but states my wifes exemptions are just under her allowed amount. But wants her to pay $100 toward her clothes! Unbeliveable! So just to get it moving, we agreed. My lawyer even emailed, he can’t believe we are having isues over my wifes jeans & t-shirts!
Anyway, we should have the stipulation agreement on Tuesday, and will be able to move along. From one of her earlier disputes, my bankruptcy lawyer is supposed to attend a hearing on Friday. Now, he shouldn’t have to. YEA!
