Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

I also make it easy for the UST office to review the documents with a cover letter and by dividing the documents into groups with a labeled division page, the same as if you were attaching exhibits to a motion. If there are some statements missing and the debtor has to spend money to produce the statements then I do a declaration that on such and such a date the debtor spoke to whomever and was told that it would cost so much per page to obtain the documents and then in another paragraph of the declaration state that the debtor is producing the documents in their possession, they do not have the excess funds to purchase the other copies.

Hatty is nice. She was on my team in the inn. We take the letter, write a letter to the client asking for everything the UST wants, then, when the client produces the docs, Send a reply letter, with a tab for each doc in reply.

At the office meeting with the client, any document not produced is dealt with by sending a letter to creditors or banks, etc. requesting the missing documents and providings copies of those letters with the client's produced documents to the UST's Office indicating more time is required to obtain the missing documents.
Usually, the matter is resolved based upon the first two letters/document productions.

As my newbie luck would have me on a steep learning curve, one of my chapter 7 cases has been selected for review by the renowned Hatty Yip. This is a Los Angeles case with Zurzolo and was filed in December.
With the above information and knowing that the case was filed in December, 2009, the UST is asking for:
1. Any and all bank and credit union statements and brokerage accounts for the period covering August 2008 through the date of their letter December 23, 2009;
2. Any and all credit card statements for all credit cards listed on the debtor's schedule F for the period covering August 2008 through the date of their letter December 23, 2009;
3. Were there any intervening factor(s) which caused the Debtor(s) to file this Chapter 7 proceeding? Please explain the special circumstances behind the filing of this petition.
Now, the letter is asking for other information, including W2's, credit report and 2008 tax return, but I do not find these other requests to be as voluminous as items 1-3 above.
Would those that have been through this process before please advise what you would do under the circumstances? Any help, guidance or direction in this case would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and I put a call into Hatty Yip's office asking if it was a typo, just to be sure.
Thanks in advance,
