Who notifies the creditors and bill collectors about the bankruptcy filing?
After your bankruptcy is filed, the Court mails a notice to all the creditors listed in your schedules. This usually takes a week to ten days. If this is not soon enough, you should have your attorney inform the creditors immediately. However, you must list all your creditors and correct addresses in order for the court to give the proper notice. If you have received any communication from the creditors in the 90 days prior to filing the bankruptcy, the creditor must be provided notice of the filing at the address on the communication. This is very important information, and should be provided to your attorney prior to the bankruptcy filing so the attorney can correctly list all the appropriate addresses.
