This program does not currently
have a post-program FAQ page.
You've heard that the debtor is required to provide certain information,
but exactly
what information, where do you go to get it - and
what happens if the debtor refuses?
You know you have the right to attend a "First Meeting of Creditors" (also
known as a "341 Meeting") but you aren't sure what is supposed
to happen there, and the trustee won't let you ask your questions.
With bankruptcy filings soaring, it's important that you know what information
you're entitled to receive and what your options are if you don't get it!
"Eric is terrific. He talks to you so you understand. His webinars and seminars
are very very good"
"No matter how many times I attend the webinars, I always learn something
new."
"Eric makes what would ordinarly be dry material interesting, with his
stories and animated delivery style."
"Eric always does a fabulous job of boiling down a very complex subject
into understandable bits."
During this 90-minute Internet program, attorney Eric North talks with participants about:
- 341 Meetings: What they are for, when you should go, what you can accomplish, what are good questions and what are silly questions, and what to do if the debtor's attorney or the trustee prohibits you from getting the information you need.
- Depositions and 2004 Examinations: When these tools are useful and when they aren't.
- Demands for Inspection and Subpoenas: How to get a peek at records or a look at your collateral.
- Verification of Income: Information the debtor is required to provide.
- Tax Returns: What tax returns you are entitled to see, and how to get them.
- Online Information: Free and inexpensive sources of information.
and much more!
