Filing a "Notice of Bankruptcy" or "Suggestion of Bankruptcy" in
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2015 8:22 pm
A review of the file shows that some time ago I sent a letter to the out of
state creditor's attorney with a copy of the Notice of Bankruptcy Case
Filing, however, it does not appear they are actually listed as a creditor
in the case. I'm not sure how that happened. The case is an asset case.
It does not appear distributions have been made yet. I am waiting for the
trustee to get back to me. The claims bar date has passed and had passed
by 10 days when I sent the letter to the creditor. From my letter it
appears I assumed they had been listed but were still trying to collect in
violation of the stay. How to fix this? Amend the schedules. Will Trustee
allow them more time to file a claim? [This was a situation with many
lenders and sales of mortgage loans and apparently, we missed this one, but
it's a large liability.]
