A party who has been listed as a creditor in a bankruptcy case is strongly advised to carefully read all information provided on court notices. If and when assets are found, the creditor will receive a notice to file a proof of claim. A proof of claim is not needed in cases that do not have assets. A proof of claim form and information as to how to file a claim may be obtained by accessing the ‘Claims Information’ link located on the Court’s website. For claim payout information, creditors may contact the assigned trustee. The trustee's contact information is located in the Notice of Chapter [7 or 13] Bankruptcy Case, Meeting of Creditors & Deadline. Additionally, the debtor's attorney, whose name and telephone number is listed on the Notice of Chapter [7, 11 or 13] Bankruptcy Case, Meeting of Creditors & Deadlines, may also be contacted. The court strongly recommends creditors to consult with a qualified bankruptcy attorney, as the court cannot provide legal advice.
