Q: My chapter 7 discharge is more than 10 yrs old, I'm just receiving a NFR, is this possible and what do I need to do?
A:
A notice of Trustee's Final Report indicates that the Trustee is filing a required report stating how the money/assets that the Trustee recovered were distributed. The Trustee is required to report to the Court regarding all assets and the manner in which they were distributed. Why the Trustee is doing this after 10 years suggests there were some issues that had to be dealt with first.
You should immediately check with your Bankruptcy attorney to see if you need to do anything.
A: I agree with my colleague - highly unusual for a Trustee to file a final report after such a long period of time. May have been overlooked, or perhaps there was something going on in the case that the Trustee was monitoring. If you were represented by an attorney, check with your attorney on this - perhaps he can obtain information that will explain it for you.
