Timeline of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy begins when a files your petition for relief with the bankruptcy court. The court will enter an Automatic Stay order prohibiting most of your creditors from taking or continuing any collection or legal action against you. The harassing letters and phone calls must stop once your case is filed.
  • The court will mail notice of the bankruptcy to all of your creditors, assign a bankruptcy trustee to your case and set a date for your hearing.
  • Thirty to forty five days after your case is filed, you will attend the meeting of creditors. The court-appointed trustee will preside over this meeting. You will be asked to testify under oath as to the accuracy of the statements in your petition. However, most of your creditors will not appear at the meeting, and you will not appear before a judge. The meeting is very informal, and, in most cases, will last no more than five or ten minutes. Your attorney will attend this meeting with you.
  • The bankruptcy trustee will file a No Asset Report with the court.
  • You will then receive your bankruptcy discharge. The discharge is a court order that prohibits your creditors from collecting debts.
  • Under the 2005 bankruptcy code amendments, you must complete a financial management course before the court will give you the discharge. Your lawyer can refer to an approved financial management counselor.
