Bankruptcy Notice

Upon filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, the Bankruptcy Court Clerk's Office will send to the creditors an official notification of the bankruptcy case.  Upon receipt of this notification, the creditors are then required to stop all collection actions.  This protection, for most debts, in most cases, will remain in effect throughout the duration of the case.  The official notification provides various information about the case, including, but not limited to: the case number, name of the debtor, name and address of the particular court, date of the meeting of the creditors, various deadlines for filing an objection or a proof of claim, and the confirmation hearing date.
