L.R. 2002-1 - Address for Service. A. Address for Service. The matrix must consist of the last address for correspondence that the creditor has provided to the debtor unless the debtor is aware that the creditor has specifically directed use of a different address. If the creditor has not provided the debtor with an address for correspondence, the debtor should use the last billing address provided by the creditor unless the debtor is aware that the creditor has specifically directed use of a different address. The address listed on the matrix should be used for service of all motions, applications, pleadings, orders, and notices of hearing unless an entity has directed use of another address, or as otherwise may be required, such as for pleadings requiring service on the registered agent of an entity, an officer or managing or general agent of a corporation, a particular government agency or official, or an officer of an insured depository institution. Any entity that has filed an entry of appearance, a request for notice, or a proof of claim or interest will be deemed to have directed that the notice address on the entry, request, or proof of claim or interest last filed be used for service of all motions, applications, pleadings, orders, and notices of hearing. Unless service on both the party and the party's attorney is required, service under this Rule on the party will be made by serving the party's attorney.
