QUESTION
How do I list a creditor alwsuit in the schedule F of a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Asked on Jan 03rd, 2012 on Bankruptcy - Minnesota
More details to this question:
I wanted to find out if a creditor is suing on an debtor account, should I list it once or twice in schedule F (one time for the account and one time for the lawsuit or one time for all of it) ? If I list it once, there will be no room for the creditor address, court address and attorney address - it will go down the page far too long on the left side of the form.

You should list both to be safe. More importantly, you should hire a competent bankruptcy attorney.

List the creditor and amount owed. Also list any other addresses that apply as dupicates or "for notice only." This would include court names and addresses, collection agencies or attorneys for the creditor. It is always best to over-disclose so that the creditor receives actual notice. If there is no room for the creditor address add an attachment page to the schedule F.

List the creditor and the law firm and collection agency. You also must list the lawsuit in the statement of financial affairs.

List the creditor once in Schedule F. You should list the lawsuit in Paragraph 4 of the Statement of Financial Affairs.

You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney before attempting to file a Chapter 7 on your own. The Bankruptcy Code is complex and there are many opportunities to make mistakes which could get your bankruptcy petition dismissed, forcing you to start over.

You list the creditor address and then you list the attorney as an interested party. You don't have to list the court address however on the statement of affairs you should list the legal action at the correct section.
