Two of the main reasons why people tend to struggle when searching for the right bankruptcy trustee is because they do not understand the trustee’s job, and they do not understand the relationship between themselves and the trustee.
The trustee does not work for you or your creditors; they work for the courts. Although you will personally select your bankruptcy trustee, and will make payments to them, it is up to the court to appoint them.
The trustee’s most important responsibility is to ensure that all parties involved follow the rules. They will also ensure that everyone understands the steps of the process. It is up to the trustee to impart discipline if either side does not follow the rules.
You can expect to be handled in a delicate and sympathetic manner, as all bankruptcy trustees recognize that this is a difficult time for you. Most trustees will be impressed simply by the fact that you are seeking help. It shows that you have acknowledged your situation and are ready to make a change for the better.
