Add Bankruptcy Agreement initial

can you add a creditor that you will mitad after your bankruptcy case is closed well that's the topic of this video hello again everyone I'm attorney Robert flosses sometimes people forget to add a creditor to the original bankruptcy petition some people don't even know about a debt that they had before they filed when they find out their question is this can you add a creditor after your bankruptcy case is closed before I begin please consider subscribing to my channel if this video is helpful to you please like and share the video to others the obvious goal is that you want to make a really good effort to include all of your debts in your original bankruptcy petition I have a video on how to find creditors on my channel you might want to check that one out the solution is that you have to file a motion with a bankruptcy court to reopen your case to add a creditor and there's a filing fee required to open your case along with filing the motion with the court you have to give notice to the creditor that you're adding but it really comes down to balancing is that a minor debt is it worth spending about three hundred dollars to file a motion to reopen here's what the court is gonna look at when you originally filed all of the creditors that you listed receive notice of your bankruptcy filing the notice alerts all of your creditors that you filed bankruptcy and the deadline to object to the dischargeability of their account in your bankruptcy case that deadline is usually about 90 days after the case is filed when you forget to add a creditor the creditor that you want to add never receive notification of this deadline they never received the opportunity to object to the discharge ability of the money owed to them because they didn't even know that when your case is open the trustee makes a determination of whether you have any assets that can be liquidated and used to pay creditors that determination is made shortly after your creditor meeting if you have no assets the trustee reports that to the court your case has now been designated a no asset case so if you want to add a creditor after your case is closed if your bankruptcy case was a no asset case you just state that there was no assets to distribute to the creditors and because of that the unlisted creditor would have received nothing anyway that's the strongest argument but some jurisdictions like Maine Massachusetts New Hampshire and Rhode Island they don't follow that rule in those states if you emitted a creditor you're just out of luck well I hope this helped remember to like share and subscribe I'm attorney Robert fleshes thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video [Music]
