Notice of Bankruptcy Filing

A Notice of Bankruptcy Filing is a legal document sent by the bankruptcy court to creditors and other interested parties to inform them that a bankruptcy case has been filed. The notice typically includes the name of the debtor, the case number, the date of the filing, and the name and contact information of the bankruptcy trustee assigned to the case. The notice also includes important deadlines, such as the deadline for filing proofs of claim and the date of the meeting of creditors. Creditors who receive a Notice of Bankruptcy Filing are prohibited from taking any further collection actions against the debtor without permission from the bankruptcy court.
