QUESTION
What can be done if the transaction was not reported to the bankruptcy court?
Asked on Aug 26th, 2013 on Bankruptcy - Florida
More details to this question:
I am a creditor of a company that went bankrupt. Two years after the Chapter 7 bankruptcy was closed, I just found out that the company had some assets transferred during the bankruptcy and over $50,000 was made and put into other people’s pockets besides the creditors. Needless to say, I am MAD!

You can report this to your local US Trustees Office. If you have the original Bankruptcy Notice it may provide you with the contact information. I don't know what jurisdiction you are in but the Notice of Bankruptcy Filing on last page, at the very end should say something about "BANKRUPTCY FRAUD" and says if you have information regarding any bankruptcy fraud or abuse, please contact the United States Trustee in writing at.. and/or by calling. I'm in San Diego so my clients' notices provide contact information for the Local San Diego Office. If you don't have the notice anymore then do a search online for united states trustee in your local area.

You need to get a lawyer. Lawsuits like this are also not cheap.

If you have proof of what you believe is wrong-doing or of alleged bankruptcy fraud you should contact a creditor attorney or get in touch with the United States Trustee's office for the region in which the bankruptcy case was filed.

The debtor remains liable for any debt not listed on the bankruptcy petition. If he did not list you as a creditor along with the amount, then you have a claim. The issue is collecting. Any assets transferred without the court's approval and with the purpose to avoid paying creditors constitutes a fraudulent transaction.
