For those in search of the audio and transcript of the bankruptcy creditors meeting held on 3/5/2012, both are available on the Creditors Meeting II page.


Edit: Just to reiterate, I respectfully request that users of this site not post contentious comments on JM's sites. This is for several reasons. First of all it does not further our cause one bit; in fact it may detract from it. Secondly JM is 100% in control of her sites, not us, and will use anything that we give her to her advantage. Third and finally, it drives additional traffic to her sites and this is in direct opposition to our intent. Thank you.

Many thanks to reader tinycandi for sorting out and explaining some of the confusion around the amended bankruptcy documents that were filed on 4/12/2012. It now seems more likely that the McKinney's attorney incorrectly listed Chapter 13 on the front page of the documents, when in fact the filing still seems to be for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In addition, the Becker property is being listed as future debt repayment, similar to the IRS debt, not as an expected monthly expense.

Bankruptcy Revision

Putting up a new post to restart the comment count.

Amended (and previously missing) bankruptcy documents were filed with PACER on 4/12 and are now available on the Bankruptcy Documents page. Of note is a switch from Chapter 7 to Chapter 13 and an increase in the amount of income reported for the filing period. In addition the Becker property payment is now being used to calculate monthly expenditures, resulting in a negative net income calculation.

Segment 1 of the creditors meeting held on 3/5/2012 is now available as a transcript. Segments 2 and 3 will be added as soon as they are finished.

Time and Again

Usually I receive the truth behind MckMama's latest bit of 'reality' well after the fact, but today I was given an unusual head start. I received the correspondence sent to the court yesterday in the McKinney's escrow case against their landlord, and in advance of MckMama's latest post. It's even more interesting to watch her in progress, to see how she spins and omits, never being honest with her readers but thinking she can fool them anyway.

A kind reader sent me a low res image and I'm awaiting an easier-to-read scan, but here are the main points from the letter sent to the court by the McKinney's landlord, Mr. H:

• The landlord was to be in California for the winter, returning to Minnesota in February; the McKinney's were aware of this.


• The landlord received no notice of the scheduled court hearing, despite the McKinney's having his California address.


• The McKinney's were on a month-to-month basis and were to care for the home, the property, pay the bills and pay $550 per month in rent.


• The McKinney's are not up to date on their rent.


• According to the oil company, the McKinney's have never paid for the monthly gas service that supplies the stove and the furnace.


• The landlord has given the McKinney's a Notice of Eviction and they have 30 days to vacate the home.


• The McKinney's had requested to move out in December, but did not.


• January's rent was not paid by the first; the McKinney's have claimed that they are paying the rent into an escrow account started during the bankruptcy proceedings.


• The McKinney's have stated that they want to move out and have acknowledged receiving the eviction notice.


• They claimed a bedbug infestation before Christmas, then stated it was gone, only to say the infestation had returned.


• The landlord feels they taking advantage of the fact that he is out of town to live rent and utility bill free.


• The landlord has advised them that there is a $10 per day late fee until the 15th of the month; failure to pay rent after that is grounds for eviction. They have been given notice again.


• The landlord wishes to have his home back in February when he returns but the McKinney's are refusing to move. He is requesting that the courts take action to remove them.

Due to some of the comments I've read about the lack of heat, I want to reiterate that given where the property is located, I think it likely that there is a large oil/propane tank on the property that the McKinney's were to keep topped up. They probably have heat, but have been using the landlord's fuel and not replacing it as agreed.
