You’ve filed for bankruptcy, and you get a notice from the court about a creditors meeting. What is this? Is it important? Do you have to go? What will happen at the meeting? Can the creditors stop your bankruptcy case?
Most people who file a bankruptcy case do so once in their lives. Thus, most people who file bankruptcy have no idea what a creditors meeting is, what happens there, what impact it can have on their bankruptcy case or, truthfully, anything at all about what the creditors meeting means or does. This is only one of many reasons why you should always hire an experienced attorney to take you through bankruptcy. An experienced attorney can guide you and help you understand what happens when you file bankruptcy every step of the way, including the meeting of creditors.
