ROD DANIELSON, CHAPTER 13 TRUSTEE

HOW TO APPEAR AT THE RIVERSIDE 341(a) MEETING OF CREDITORS FOR CHAPTER 13 CASES FILED AFTER MAY 1, 2024

By order of the United States Trustee, all Riverside Chapter 13 341(a) meetings of creditors will be conducted virtually.

341(a) meetings will be conducted utilizing Zoom software, which permits parties to communicate electronically with video. You should consider downloading the Zoom software on your smart phone, computer, laptop or tablet in order to familiarize yourself with how Zoom works. Practice logging into the Trustee’s 341(a) meeting site.

To appear at a Riverside Chapter 13 section 341(a) meeting of creditors, go to: ZOOM.US/JOIN enter meeting ID 376 608 2241 and passcode 7122449023.

Once you are admitted into the meeting room, click on the “join breakout room” icon, and select the breakout room where your case will be heard. The breakout rooms are organized by the judge code (judge’s initials), and are the last two letters of the bankruptcy case number ( SY or RB).

Debtors in Chapter 13 cases shall appear via Zoom. In rare cases debtors may appear telephonically (for example, where the debtor is in jail, or is in a foreign country where Zoom is not available). Debtors who believe their circumstances warrant a telephonic creditor meeting should check with their attorneys, and also see “Best Practices for Debtors, Debtor’s attorneys, and Other Parties in Interest for Attending Virtual §341(a) Meetings of Creditors in Chapter 7, 12 and 13 Cases,” at www.rodan13.com. There is a form at the end of the best practices which must be filled out, notarized and submitted to the Trustee at least 2 weeks prior to the creditor meeting.

PLEASE MUTE. You should still be able to hear the proceedings. 10 or more meetings may be scheduled for the same time. It is important to listen for the case to be called (listen for debtor’s last name and case number), then unmute. Be sure to identify yourself for the record.

PLEASE BE PATIENT and respectful of others when your microphone is on. We are all working together to try to keep everyone safe while still providing this necessary and beneficial service, and the Trustee is grateful for your cooperation. Creditors are encouraged to file claims and objections in advance of the creditor meeting so that issues raised can be discussed meaningfully at the meeting.
