  • What if I forget to list a creditor on my bankruptcy papers?
  • You are permitted to file an amendment to your schedules up to a certain time before discharge. If the amendment is timely filed, then the omitted creditor is added to the bankruptcy. However, if you fail to list a creditor, you may not be able to use the bankruptcy laws to protect you against that creditor. Accordingly, it is in your best interest to list every creditor, whether or not you dispute his/her claim against you.
