A screen will appear prompting you to do the following:
Choose the transfer type ~ 3001(e)(1), (2), (3), or (4).
Search for transferee. Type the name of the transferee in the designated box and click "Search Creditors" to see if the transferee is already a creditor in the case. You can also leave the box blank and click "Search Creditors" to see a listing of all creditors in the case. If the transferee is not found, click "Add New Creditor" and proceed with entering the transferee's name and address.
Search for transferor. Type the name
of the transferor in the designated box and click "Search Creditors".
You can also leave the box blank and click "Search Creditors" to see a listing
of all creditors. Multiple
transferor names can be added if the same transferee is filing multiple
transfers.
Since the creditor has filed a claim, their name should appear, as should
their claim number; however, if the case has a Claims Agent, no record of
the claim will appear in the Court's database. If the case has a
Claims Agent, you will need to do as instructed on the instruction page:
you must first add the Transferor to the Court database. To do this, click
[Bankruptcy], [Creditor Maintenance], [Enter individual creditors], and
enter the Transferor name and address. Once this is done, you may then
proceed with filing the Transfer of Claim. Note: when you select the
Transferor, you will receive a warning message that the creditor has not
filed a claim.
The claim number field will automatically populate unless the claim is not in the Court's database (i.e. a Claims Agent has been assigned to the case).
