Removing a creditor from the schedules / creditor list

Official Procedure Last Change April 25, 2013

Removing a creditor from the schedules / creditor list

The preferred method for a party to request that the court remove a creditor from the creditor list ("matrix") is by filing a Motion for Authority. Once the order is granted, the court will no longer send any notices to that creditor.

The debtor is responsible for determining if that creditor also should be removed from the schedules. If so, an Amended Schedule should be filed. Note that the filing of an amended schedule alone will not result in the removal of that creditor from the creditor list - the court will continue to send notices to that creditor unless a Motion for Authority is filed as outlined above.
