Why are creditors addresses so important?
Because a creditor who does not get notice of the filing of a bankruptcy within a very few months of its filing may not be discharged, it is very important that the address to which the notice is sent be correct. A creditor who is not notified retains its original rights to try to collect its debt. For example, they could still call, write, or sue you. If you have more than one address for a creditor then give us all the addresses you have available. This will help quickly notify your creditors of your filing. If the notice comes back to us, we will contact you to search your records for a current address. This is very important and is well worth the time and trouble it may take to get a correct address. In addition, please be advised that there will be an additional fee to notice the creditor at the corrected address. To avoid any additional fees, please be sure that the initial address you give us for a creditor is the correct address.
