Filed Chapter 7 on 3/20/18. It was finalized (discharged) July 2018. My trustee stated that I needed to give her my entire refund. Once she receives if than she would take portion of it from January to March and refund me back the rest of the amount. When I asked how much she would be taking she stated she was not able to tell me that information until she received my entire refund. Is this accurate?
In our office, we work with the trustee to pay only a portion, but that can depend on the trustee. If you have an attorney you need to ask for their guidance. If you do not have an attorney you should talk to a volunteer attorney at the Arizona Bankruptcy Court - www.azb.uscourts.gov.
Yes. You give her the refund, she withholds the proper portion, then sends you the balance and closes the estate. They don’t just tell you how much and hope that you pay them.
