Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Dear Hale,
I am a bit confused by your fact pattern. I'm sure I'm missing something basic here. My confusion arises because 101(5)'s definition of "claim" describes a right to receive payment, and 101(10)'s definition of "creditor" describes an entity entitled to receive payment. And Fed. R. Bankr. Proc. 3001(b) states: "A proof of claim shall be executed by the creditor or the creditor's authorized agent." What are the grounds for a noncreditor to file a proof of claim? And who executed the proof of claim?
re nondischargeable in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Therefore, if the debtor owes a claimant and fails to schedule the claim in time for the creditor to file a proof of claim, the claims period isn't extended. Instead, the debt isn't discharged upon plan completion.
Finally, I don't see the inapplicability of Fed. R. Bankr. Proc. 3002(c) to the proof of claim just because the claimant isn't a creditor. The beginning of that subsection is written in the passive voice; to wit: ". . . a proof of claim is filed . . ." Thus pace my Rule 3001(b) comment it doesn't say that a creditor filed the proof of claim.
All the best,
Nick

In a Chapter 13, what's the deadline for when a proof of claim must be filed
after receiving actual notice of the bankruptcy? Since opposing party isn't
a creditor (and thus, wasn't scheduled), FRBP 3002c doesn't apply. 11 USC
726a2c talks about late-filed claims that lacked notice, but that's for
Chapter 7s. I'd think it'd be 90 days, since that's the time used from a
341a in the statute.

Thanks!
