Will the trustee contact my creditors during the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy process?

Yes, the trustee assigned to your case will contact your creditors during the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy process in California. The primary job of the trustee is to determine the amount of debt you owe and collect and distribute money to the creditors. This includes communicating with creditors, objecting to claims listed as debts in your case, and assessing the value of any assets you have. Once the case is filed, the trustee holds an “initial meeting” with you. During this meeting, the trustee will ask you a series of questions about your assets, debts, and income to help with the determination of the amount of debt you owe. After the initial meeting, the trustee may choose to investigate your financial situation further. This can include making contact with the creditors who are listed as debts in your case. If the trustee believes that you have property or assets or have omitted creditors from your petition, he may contact those creditors to ensure that there are no discrepancies. This is one way that the trustee holds you accountable for the truthfulness of the information on your petition. In addition, the trustee may contact creditors who have not been listed in order to assess whether or not they are owed anything. Overall, the trustee will contact your creditors while processing your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in California to ensure that your debts are accurately reported and that you are properly held accountable for any discrepancies.
