Chapter 13 Supplemental Attorney Fees Application=20

The court cannot tell which addresses are duplicate, wrong, etc.
So the court can only look at the whole list to see if you properly served the creditors. I cannot imagine how you would prove the negative that addresses are wrong, so at my office, we just serve the whole list.

Even with filing the amended matrix the CM/ECF creditor list is not always updated and old addresses are never deleted. Hence this is why I do not find the CM/ECF creditor list very useful, especially farther into chapter 13 cases.

A $30 amendment fee is charged to add or delete creditors, DEF, so I normally update my master mailing list to ensure I am serving necessary parties and only amend DEF when necessary for the Court's service. Even then it might be easier toward the end of the case for me to separately serve a party not served through the BNC.

I have never had this issue raised in 17 years. Are we required to serve every party listed on the CMECF Creditor List? Using the CMECF Creditor List does not make sense to me once the bar date has passed. This list is not a quality compilation of creditors with an actual interest in the Chapter 13 case, but includes every name and address listed in the creditor matrix as a precaution at the start of the case including assignors and agents from long ago and old addresses that creditors subsequently updated and superceded with new addresses in their filed proofs of claim.

>>>>>>> Motions for supplemental fees in Chapter 13 cases over $1,000 require service on the debtor, the trustee and "all creditors" pursuant to LBR 3015-1(x). Prior to the bar date using this list for service makes sense unless a creditor filed a proof of claim, in which case I eliminate the bad addresses from service and only serve at the specific address designated on the proof of claim. After the bar date I interpreted "all creditors" to mean only those creditors that had an interest in the case, namely those which filed a proof of claim. Those I winnowed down to serve them at the specific address designated for service in the proof of claim or any amended claim/address change notice, etc. Why should we need to serve notice on purported creditors a few years after the bar date after they chose not to participate in the bankruptcy case by filing a proof of claim. What standing do such purported creditors which never filed a proof of claim have to object to a supplemental fee application?

This seems especially absurd when judges consider all the time spent making all the extra copies of the notice of motion, and addressing and stuffing the envelopes as well as preparing and filing the proof of service to be secretarial work for which we are not entitled to compensation. For example in my particular instance this equates 49 service packages I need to serve based upon the CMECF Creditor List instead of 12 contained in the respective filed proofs of claim.
