109(h) CREDIT COUNSELING NOT OBTAINED WITHIN 180 DAYS IS FATAL
In re Gaddis, Case No. 07-40476
June 2007, Judge Karlin
Chapter 7 case dismissed for failure to comply with 109(h), in that the credit counseling was not obtained within 180 days of the date of filing. No statutory exception was alleged. Debtor is simply not eligible to obtain title 11 relief if 109(h) is not complied with.
