Trustee ***** and his Mishandling of Debtor Paperwork=
Your point is well taken Pat. I was a bit furious because the episode made me look like a jerk to the client, and because Mr. W is so inflexible. Les showed him a copy of the tax return transmittal letter that was sent immediately upon filing the case. But, in the future, I will take Pat's advice.

Keith, Ken, et al:
I think more than the simple
statement that Keith suggested is needed. However, I did flinch a little
when I read Kens letter, so I think I understand Keiths initial
response.
The information shared by Ken
was useful and important and the frustration level was obvious and, I think, justified.
But it needed a little cushioning. Something along the line of:
I had a very frustrating experience with Wolkowitz this morning at a 341.
I think it is important to share with everyone, so below is a (draft of a?) letter
I am sending. Tell me what you think.
We all have the times when a
judge, trustee or OC set us off and often we are justified in our anger/frustration.
In the past, a letter waiting to go out in the mail or not ready for signature
allowed us time to cool off and reflect. However, we live in a world
where information moves very quickly; it is all too easy to hit the send button
before we have had time to reflect. Then things we regret having
made public are already beyond the friendly confines of our office or smaller
group. Maybe sending it to a trusted colleague first will give the
opportunity to take the rough edges off.
BTW: In an abundance of
caution and paranoia, I have been sending tax returns to trustees via certified
mail. I have been considering whether that is too extreme. For now
I am going to stick with it. If I do change, I now have at least one trustee
who will continue receiving them by certified mail.
If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact me.

Fellow Members:
To further clarify my
position, I do not mind the topic or subject matter. I just do not
support any direct attack on any member of our illustrious Bk community without
that person's ability to defend himself/herself. I would have rather
seen a question like: "Is any other
member having trouble with Ch7 trustee Wolkowitz receiving and processing
documents?" This would have gotten the ball rolling with comments and
suggestions. Instead, it appeared to come across as formal broadside
in a 2-person dispute. I believe that the listserv should be
used for intellectual intercourse and not for venting. I support the
continued goal of keeping our membership respectful and
informed as we continue to gather strength and clout among the Bk
community.
