After a debtor has completed the bankruptcy schedules and a Chapter 7 bankruptcy has been filed with the court, a debtor must attend a 341 hearing, also known as a meeting of creditors. Several days after the bankruptcy case is filed, a debtor will receive a notice of the 341 hearing. The notice will indicate the date, time and method by which the meeting will occur. Currently, in the state of Minnesota, 341 hearings are conducted virtually, either by telephone or by Zoom. A 341 hearing is also called “meeting of creditors,” however, creditors rarely attend. A debtor’s assigned bankruptcy trustee will conduct the 341 hearing.
