What happens if I forget to list a creditor in my petition?

Creditors not listed when you file your case may cause problems.  There are two kinds of unlisted creditors; those you owed money when you first filed your plan and forgot to list (“pre-petition creditors”), and those creditors who have a bill that was incurred after you filed your plan (“post-petition creditors”).

If either circumstance does occur, notify your attorney immediately so that he can evaluate the situation and file the appropriate paperwork with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
