Debtors are expected to appear at their virtual Meeting by video:
If a debtor is unable to appear at the virtual Meeting by video due to no access to internet or to an electronic device with a camera, they should join the Meeting by audio only and let the trustee know they do not have the means necessary to join by video as the trustee may permit a debtor to participate by telephone on a case-by case basis if the circumstances warrant. If a creditor or other interested party is unable to join by video, they may join by audio only.
Please note that telephonic appearances by the debtor will likely result in the rescheduling of their Meeting to another date or time in order to appear by video. This may be called a continued, adjourned meeting or the Trustee may decide to file a motion to dismiss the case. The parties will use the same connection information that is contained in the Notice of Bankruptcy Case to connect to the continued or adjourned meeting, unless the trustee indicates otherwise. In addition, in rare cases, the Trustee may determine that an in-person 341 meeting is necessary.
Participants are encouraged to, at least one day before their scheduled Meeting, test Zoom and download the Zoom application, if applicable. The free version of Zoom should meet all of your needs to join the Meeting.
