In a chapter 7, with a no-asset notice, no claim can be filed.
In a chapter 13, all creditors should file a proof of claim within the time period provided.
File a proof of claim
If it is not a secured debt it will be included in the bankruptcy discharge.
No, Generally, they must file a "proof of claim", which can be done by mail...but that is about all.
Yes
Sure
You should file a 'proof of claim" with the bankruptcy court and take you place in line to be paid...whcih will likely be a few pennies on the dollar.
Actually, a secured creditor only retains priority if they file a claim.
As a creditor you cannot stop bankruptcy proceedings on anything. You can, however, file an objection in BK Court to why the debt to you shouldn't be discharged.
You should file a bankruptcy letter of intent as soon as possible so that your creditors will be on notice. This will stop the harassing calls and foreclosure proceedings if you are behind in your mortgage payments.
A secured creditor does not need to file a such a claim, the lien against the property is sufficient proof. Generally the lien holder/lender will ask for the automatic stay to be lifted so foreclosure or repossession action can continue or be implemented against the property. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy the borrower must be able to reaffirm the secured debt to avoid recovery or litigation action from the lender.
