GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRUSTEE FRANK J. KOKOSZKA ZOOM MEETING OF CREDITORS

 

CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION FOR UPCOMING 341 MEETING TO BE CONDUCTED BY ZOOM

 You will receive a email with a Zoom invitation containing the Zoom link approximately 5 days prior to your scheduled meeting of creditors. Counsel is responsible for providing the Zoom link to your client.

 The Zoom invitation will provide information about how to access the meeting using one of two options: link or call-in number and access code. You can familiarize yourself with Zoom at: www.zoom.us. Unless your device uses the IOS operating system (IPhone, IPad or Apple computer) you do not need to download the Zoom app. If you are using an IOS operating system you can download the Zoom mobile app from the App Store for free. A free account is available on Zoom.

 IF YOU ARE AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING A DEBTOR:

At least 7 days prior to your meeting date, I must receive a completed Zoom Registration Form either via the Document Delivery Portal or via email to trustee@k-jlaw.com .  Please include the Debtor’s name and the date of the meeting in the e-mail’s subject line. A copy of the Zoom Registration Form can be found at the Bankruptcy Court’s Website. Only if the Debtor is appearing by phone rather than video and the attorney has not been able to verify the debtor’s identification, a Verification of Identification and Social Security Number Form (“Verification Form”), which is found at the bottom of the Zoom Registration Form, must be provided to me at least 3 days prior to the meeting, along with copies of their ID and social security card.

 I prefer to receive a copy of the Debtor’s ID and Social Security Number Verification prior to the meeting from all Debtors. However, please advise your clients to have both a picture ID and verification of Social Security Number available with them at the meeting of creditors.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL ATTORNEYS, CREDITORS AND DEBTORS:

 1. When you “arrive” for your meeting you will be placed in the virtual Waiting Room.

2. When signing into Zoom for the Meeting, it is very important that all parties (counsel and debtors), use their full name and/or the case number & Debtor’s name for identification so I can invite you to the meeting from the virtual Waiting Room when your case is called. If the Debtor is appearing by phone only, make sure I have their phone number so that I can identify them in the waiting room. If I cannot identity who is in the waiting room, this leads to delays and I will place you at the end of the days’ call.

3.  Debtors and Counsel must be ready to have the meeting held as soon as you are placed in the meeting room.

3. All Debtors are still required to provide 60 days of pay advises and tax returns to me 3 days prior to the meeting. If I do not receive pay advices, tax returns or a zoom registration at least 3 days prior to the meeting date, the meeting will be continued.

4. Debtors and counsel are to be at a set location, and not in transit (this includes walking down the hallway for several minutes while I and everyone else on the call have to wait), so that full attention can be given to the questions being asked and background noise can be controlled better.

5. Only debtors and their counsel and creditors or interested parties will be allowed on the connection, i.e., no “moral support” or supplementary answers to be provided by friends or family.

6. As always, Debtors will be asked if they received and have read a copy of the Bankruptcy Information Sheet from the Office of the US Trustee. Counsel, please make sure that you have provided a copy of the Bankruptcy Information Sheet to your clients and that you have reviewed it with them.

7. During the meetings, Debtors must be prepared to identify their signatures on the: a) Petition, b) Schedules; and, c) Statement of Financial Affairs. Attorneys should make sure that their clients are prepared to do so. All Debtors must have the following documents in front of them during the meeting: a) Signature page from the Voluntary Petition; b) Declaration of Schedules; and, c) Signature Page of the Statement of Financial Affairs (including any amendments).

TAX RETURNS AND PAY ADVICES

Meetings will not be held if I do not receive via Document Delivery (preferred method) or email (do not mail tax returns or pay advices) each Debtor’s most recently filed tax returns and pay advices at least 48 hours ago. If you send the 341 documents by e-mail to trustee@k-jlaw.com, include both the debtor’s name and meeting date in the subject line. If the Debtor does not have recent tax returns or pay advices because of unemployment/lack of sufficient income, please notify me of this prior to the meeting date and/or provide an affidavit.

Translation Services-Please notify me prior to the meeting date if the Debtor will be requiring a translator.

In general, please refer to the Instructions regarding Zoom Meeting of Creditors.

Address any questions (including a request for a continued date) via email to trustee@k-jlaw.com.

Thank you,
