Shortly before filing Ch. 7 bankruptcy, debtor Gary Pyatt wrote checks to pay some routine bills. These checks were cashed shortly after filing. At the creditor’s meeting, the trustee learned the che ... cks were not cashed on the day of filing and, instead of seeking the funds from the companies that cashed the check, demanded reimbursement from debtor, my client.
