Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia

Hi my name is Sharon and I am a creditor in a bankruptcy chapter 7 case. This was a personal loan made to the debtor. The debtor attempting to avoid repayment, initially filed a chapter 13. When he received notice that I had filed an adversary proceeding, he then converted the 13 to a chapter 7. Today was the 341 meeting, the debtor did not appear. The trustee stated that he has failed to file all the necessary documents required in compliance to his case. Therefore, she gave me a new meeting date of June 21. However, she did not explain what the purpose of this new meeting date was. I am not represented by a lawyer, I do not understand or know what the next step should be? Can you please advise?

It is extremely foolish (and dangerous) for a creditor to do anything when a debtor is in bankruptcy without a lawyer.

It is routine to get new dates. Bear in mind that creditors usually won't be paid in chapter 7. It would be prudent to spend a few dollars on counsel to see if there is even a reason to attend.
