UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
RALEIGH DIVISION
IN RE:
RAYMOND KAALUND
DEBTOR
CASE NO.
05-02804-5-ATS
ORDER FOR BANKRUPTCY PETITION PREPARER TO SHOW CAUSE
Raymond Kaalund filed a pro se petition for relief under chapter
13 of the Bankruptcy Code on July 5, 2005, with the assistance of Bill
G. Foster, a bankruptcy petition preparer as defined in 11 U.S.C.
§ 110.
Mr. Foster certified that he received $125 from the debtor as
compensation for his services. In this district, the maximum fee for
bankruptcy petition preparers is $80. See In re Moore, 283 B.R. 852
(Bankr. E.D.N.C. 2002); In re Moore, 290 B.R. 287 (Bankr. E.D.N.C.
March 20, 2003). The presumptive fee of $80 has been determined to be
reasonable compensation for the completion of a petition and all
related schedules. Mr. Foster completed only the first two pages of
the petition, the mailing matrix, and his disclosure of compensation,
and $80 may not be a reasonable fee for the services actually provided
in this case.
Based on the foregoing, a hearing will be held on Tuesday,
August 2, 2005, at 9:00 a.m. at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, U.S.
Courthouse and Post Office Building, 300 Fayetteville Street Mall, Room
208, Raleigh, North Carolina, at which Mr. Foster shall show cause why
he should not be required to refund to the debtor the difference
between the $125 fee charged and a reasonable fee for the services
provided.
SO ORDERED.
