In re Gurule

Ruling
Conduct of bankruptcy petition preparer questioned in case where debtor did not meet credit counseling requirement prior to filing.
Procedural posture

After debtor filed a chapter 7, the court sua sponte considered whether debtor had satisfied the requirements in 11 U.S.C. § 109(h) that she obtain budget and credit counseling prior to filing given that Schedule D indicated that such counseling had occurred after the date on which the petition had been filed. At issue was the manner in which debtor's bankruptcy petition preparer ("BPP") had completed the documents later filed by debtor.
