You should have no problems filing an amendment to add the creditor.
Codebtors must be listed in the bankruptcy, and put in the list of creditors if you want the codebtor to receive notices. No one is "invited" to the creditors' meeting, but notices are mailed to all the creditors, which/who may attend if they wish.
The discharge is, as general rule official sixty days after the date of the creditor (341) meeting.
The debtor (or the debtor's attorney) can do this with a simple filing - usually an "Ex Parte Motion to Convert Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7." Providing the debtor's bankruptcy has not previously been converted already, the debtor/debtor attorney can do this without the permission or advance permission of either the bankruptcy judge or the Chapter 13 trustee that is managing the bankruptcy up until that point (hence, the "Ex Parte" part of the document). There are notice requirements - check with your local bankruptcy district to see who this needs to be mailed out to. Also, there is usually a small fee involved (it usually involves the debtor paying the difference in cost between a Chapter 13 and a Chapter 7 filing, but may be different - again, check with your local bankruptcy court). The debtor will be required to go through another 341 creditor's meeting with the new Chapter 7 trustee.
The form treasurer's IS the singular possessive.example: The treasurer's report will be distributed at our next meeting.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is different than chapter 7 in that you will essentially be reorganizing your debt and coming up with a payment plan. The creditors meeting involves filing a plan with the bankruptcy court suggesting how you will repay your debt. Some debts must be repaid in full while others require only a percentage or nothing at all.
You will probably receive one more chance. You need to have your lawyer contact the bankruptcy trustee and see if it can be rescheduled.
Generally, it means a bankruptcy prepared by an attorney who also represents you in the 341 meeting required by the bankruptcy law. In a Chapter 7, it usually does not include representation in motions for relief from stay, objections to discharge and other possible responses to the bankruptcy. Chapter 13s usually require more services, and cost a lot more.
It is closed when it is legally discharged by the courts. Usually about 2 months after the 341 meeting for a ch. 7.
It's final after the BK has actually been discharged.
The secretary conducts the meeting.
This is not a question. The truck could not legally be repossessed after the filing of a bankruptcy. Notify the creditor of the filing, giving the court's location (District of ?) and docket number. If you don't have a lawyer, send it by certified mail, return receipt and by regular mail, and make sure you keep a copy for yourself. If you've gotten a notice of your 341 meeting, send a copy of it to the creditor as well.
There is no real "punishment"for not meeting the obligations of chapter 13 (which are usually pretty strict repayment plans). The negative side effect is that filing for bankruptcy will be on your credit report and your payment obligations will be due in full (rather than the reduced payment plans established by chapter 13) which can be very difficult.
