What is the name of your state? IL
I was wondering if anyone knows how I would go about amending a statement of financial affairs? I had filed a chapter 7 under the old law and I have already had my 341 meeting, but I did not notice until talking to a co-worker that under question 11 which is closed financial accounts, I was suppose to put my fathers checking account under that question. I was on his account fot the past year but he took me off just as I was about to file. (He is lucky if he even has $3,000 to his name every month in his account!) He was just spooked that something might happen to his account. None of my money ever went into his account, it was just mostly for taking money out for him, paying his bills for him and depositing his checks. Unfortunately my mom had passed away recently and she was the finanical holder of everything. My father doesnt even know how to use his debit card
anyways, my understanding is I still need to put it on there and would like to do it as soon as possible prior to my discharge, but I am stuck because I do not have a lawyer, I filed pro se...Do I need to even put it on there? Or would it just be the wise thing to do and put it on there? Should I wait for the trustee to call me and should I explain the situation or should I call the trustee? At the 341 meeting I did not mention it because it honestly just never came to mind at all so I just do not one minor mistake to cause the dismissal of my case especially when realistcally I was just helping out my dad. COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS DISMISS MY CASE? D I have read other threads on here but the only other one I read similar to my situation is that they have a lawyer taking care of it...Do I need a lawyer at this point?
Now I just lost myself...
