What exactly is a 341 hearing?
November 21st, 2008
A 341 hearing is a hearing required by the Bankruptcy Code under Section 341. It is often referred to as the Meeting of Creditors. Once a bankruptcy case is filed, your hearing is usually scheduled with 20-45 days. This is the chance for your appointed Trustee to ask you questions about your case. The questions are generally fair, reasonable, and easy to answer. It is also the chance for your creditors to question you. Most of the time, your creditors will not appear at the hearing, but if they do, your attorney will be there to help you. Usually, there is an entire room full of people in your exact situation and there is no reason to be embarrassed or nervous.

When a Chapter 13 case it filed, it provides you with an opportunity to compel the governmental unit to accept repayment of the debt and stops the levy previously entered.

When a debtor files for bankruptcy, the debtor must list the county for his or her primary place of residence. In North Carolina, there are three basic bankruptcy districts. The first district is called the Eastern District of North Carolina. The second is the Middle District of North Carolina and the third is the Western District of North Carolina. There are also different branches in each district. For example, the Middle District of North Carolina has a Durham Division and a Greensboro Division. When you come into the office and complete the questionnaire, our staff will determine the district in which you would file.
