Notice of 341 to a creditor returned to me

[dr618]

Legal aid filled out the addresses for the creditors, I just received a notice of the date of the 341 that was suppose to reach this creditor, but the post office had a stamp on it that said "return to sender", so it came back to me. Can I just re-mail this out to the creditor when I find the correct address, or do I have to contact the court?

You can re-mail it.

Thanks,
Do I have to inform the court that the address was incorrect?

[dr618]

I found the correct address. Should I use a diff envelope or white out the address that the court had typed? Also, do I have to inform the court?

I would put that return to sender envelope into a different envelope to show them that you tried to send it out to the original address. This way they cannot try and say anything.

As far as let the courts know, JMO i would call the court and let them know the new address so that if anything needs to be send to them in the future they have the correct address. JMO

Thanks, Jessie, Are they going to charge me for changing an address? I was going by the info on my credit report.

Making ammendments to your petition is a one-time charge of around $26 bucks. Before you mail package up the original envelope into the new envelope, photocopy everything so you have it in your file, just in case. 'Hub

I don't know who to listen to. I contacted my legal aid office , of course they said they cannot help me, I am in this alone, but she said to ignore everything, that the court gets a printout of returned notices. I hope they are telling me the right thing. I just mailed the notice to the creditor, I would liek to tell the court the right address when I go on Monday with my debt ed certificate to file, legal aid says to not do it. Are they kidding?

I got back 4 of my notices and when the trustee asked me if my petition was correct and if there was anything that has changed since I filed, I asked him if I needed to notify the court about getting the notices back and re-mailing them to the correct addresses. He said although he's not an attorney and can't give legal advice, he doesn't think I need to notify the court or do an amendment since it is a no asset case. I told him I sent the notices to new addresses and I sent them certified mail, return receipt requested and he said that sounds sufficient.

If the trustee is happy with that, then you should be. You are NOT expected to keep up with every single change of address or flip from CA to CA.

I hope your 60 days go by nice and uneventful.

Are you saying that your 341 is this coming Monday? If so I would do as the OP did, and tell the trustee that you have done your best and that XX notices were returned.

The point is, you are doing your best to make a 'good faith' effort at notifying all of your creditors. As I said in the post above, you cannot be expected to follow each and every change in address or change from CA (collection agency) to CA. I used the term 'flip' as in 'flipping' houses. That is what many of these agencies do.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Of course Mrs. is right (or else) but making a copy as I stated above, is cheap and green card it would be good. If it returned again, do not open the second envelope as it could be used in Court if there is some sort of objection. 'Hub

NO, My meeting isn't on Monday, Monday is when I plan to file by post-bankruptcy certificate. I have mailed back the letter to the address I found on Better Buisness Bureau, my credit report was obviously wrong. My legal aid office told me to ignore all these things and that I don't have to report anything, I just feel that, if I am supposed to tell the truth when I am questioned at my meeting, wouldn't I be lying, that the address on my petition isn't the right one, that's why I asked them if I need to inform the court, I will anyway when I file my certificate. Does it matter that I opened it? At first, I thought it was a letter to me, didn't realize it was a letter returned because it was undeliverable.
