When you file a Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 matter, you must appear at a hearing called the 341A Meeting of the Creditors. The 341A is the opportunity for the creditors, or people you owe money to, to appear and ask you questions about this Bankruptcy that you filed. You must appear at this hearing, and you must bring your picture ID and social security card.
There is a security gate to go through. You will need to take your shoes off and walk through a metal detector. Wear socks.
