The Trustee is a person appointed by the Department of Justice to represente your creditors as a group and to protect their interests. In Chapter 7, the Trustee will review your case to determine if there are any assets to seize from you to pay your creditors. In Chapter 13, the Trustee does not seize assets. Instead, in Chapter 13, the Trustee administers your case by collecting your monthly payment and distributing that payment to your creditors.
