Local Rule 2002.1: NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES
Bankr. D. Kan. — General rule
LBR 2002.1 NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES
(a) General. The Bankruptcy Noticing Center ("BNC") will generally mail all notices served by the clerk.
(b) Undelivered Notices. The clerk will deliver all undelivered notices to the debtor's attorney except where the debtor is not represented by counsel. The clerk will retain notices where the debtor is not represented. The BNC will return undelivered notices in Adversary Proceedings to the clerk.
(c) Corrections. A matrix that does not comply with D. Kan. LBR 1007.1 or D. Kan. LBR 1007.2 may cause certain notices to be undeliverable by the BNC. The clerk, or some other person the court directs, will notify the debtor's attorney, or the debtor if not represented, of any undelivered notices, together with the underlying matrix deficiency (e.g., incomplete address, missing ZIP code). Within 7 days after notification, the debtor's attorney, or the debtor if not represented, must: (1) file the corrected BNC Bypass Notice; and (2) serve any undelivered notices to all parties not served by the BNC.
(d) Preferred Addresses and National Creditor Registration Service in Chapter 7 or 13 cases filed after October 16, 2005, under 11 U.S.C. § 342(e) and (f).
(1) Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 342(e) and (f), an entity and the BNC may agree that when the court directs the BNC to give a notice to that entity, the BNC will give the notice in the manner agreed to and at the address or addresses the entity supplies to the BNC. That supplied address is conclusively presumed to be a proper address for notice. The BNC's failure to use the supplied address does not invalidate any notice that is otherwise effective under applicable law.
(2) A creditor's filing of a notice directly with the BNC of its preferred address pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 342(f) will constitute a filing of the notice with the court.
(3) Registration with the National Creditor Registration Service must be accomplished through the BNC. Forms and registration information are available at https://bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov.
(4) A local form to use when filing notice of preferred address under 11 U.S.C. § 342(e) is available on the court's website at http://www.ksb.uscourts.gov. * * * As amended 12/1/24, 3/17/20, 3/17/10, 3/17/09, 3/17/08, 10/17/05, 3/17/05.
