All cases commenced under Chapter 7 & chapter 13 require the appointment of a trustee who will require
testimony, under oath, at a public meeting. Creditors receive notice of the meeting. Creditors who choose to
attend may ask questions while the debtor remains under oath. All debtor responses are admissible as evidence
before the court.
