Straight Bankruptcy: Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Defined

I just realized I forgot to list a creditor on my schedule of liabilities - what should I do?

Should you fail to list all of your creditors in your filing, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure typically allows you to amend your petition. You will need to work with the judge and your attorney to make sure the petition is correctly amended.
