Bankr. W.D. Mo. — Civil rule
Rule 3002-1. Filing Proofs of Claim in Chapter 7 and 11 A. Chapter 7. In a Chapter 7 case, no deadline will be set for filing proofs of claim unless the trustee requests that the Court issue a notice to creditors to file claims. Upon receipt of a request, the Court shall serve the notice to all creditors along with instructions to access the Official Form. All claims filed with the court will be included on the claims register.
B. Chapter 11.
1. Claims Bar Date. In all Chapter 11 cases, on motion without hearing, the Court shall fix a claims bar date.
2. Notice of Bar Date. In all Chapter 11 cases, unless the Court orders otherwise, the debtor must serve notice of the claims bar date with a blank proof of claim and instructions that conform substantially to the Official Form on all creditors and parties in interest. At the discretion of the Court, such deadline may be specified in the §341 meeting notice.
3. Newly Added Creditors. If the debtor amends its Chapter 11 schedules to add a creditor or to reduce the amount of a claim or reclassify as a contingent, unliquidated, or disputed after having served notice of the claims bar date, then, in addition to serving the amended schedules on the affected creditor, the debtor shall serve the notice of claims bar date upon the affected creditor and shall give written notice that the creditor must file any claim by the bar date or thirty (30) days after the date of the notice, whichever is later.
C. Chapter 13. See Local Rule 3084-1.
D. Conversion. A proof of claim filed before conversion of any case is deemed filed in the converted case. Any claimant who did not file a proof of claim in a Chapter 9 or Chapter 11 case because the claim was correctly scheduled must file a proof of claim in the converted case.
E. Lease Rejection and Avoidance Action Claims. Any claim that arises out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease or from a judgment entered against the creditor pursuant to an action under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be filed by the later of: (1) the claims bar date established in the case and (2) thirty (30) days after the date on which the order approving the rejection or the judgment becomes final.
