A creditor can usually contact the trustee for general questions. Whether the trustee has any interest in meeting is a different issue. A trustee is not a substitute for a lawyer and generally will not spend time guiding a creditor through the case because the creditor does not have a lawyer.

Re: Bankruptcy

I read the last version of your question. Creditors do NOT meet with Trustees, and you do NOT plead a case to a trustee. If you have a dispute you file a motion or adversary proceeding with the court and it is heard by a judge. Your question tells me that, assuming you have a lot at stake, you made a huge mistake in getting rid of your lawyer. At the very least you need to be coached by a lawyer.
