Answer: The amendment should amend both Schedule B to list the $11,000.00 as cash or the bank account that it is held in and also Schedule C to claim exempt. Your Trustee and your attorney might be concerned as to why it was left off the original schedules B & C when you filed the petition. Failure to appear at the 341 meeting will normally result in Trustee requesting dismissal. Discuss with your attorney the reasons why he advises that you not appear at the 341 meeting.

If I'm in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, can a creditor who is not involved still garnish my wages?

Answered by attorney Eric Allen Maskell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Eric A. Maskell
No. In order for a creditor to do anything while you are in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy they would first have to get bankruptcy permission either by direct motion or by lifting the automatic stay. The automatic stay prevents any form of debt collection.
