Answered by attorney Jeffrey M. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at J.M. Cook, P.A.
That is impossible to predict and I would usually rely on the local atty. If you are not sure, get a second opinion from a competent bankruptcy professional.

The Court will send notices from your Mailing Matrix electronically to the debtors based on your mailing matrix,, and will let you know if they cannot serve them. Cross reference your liabilities with the mailing matrix to make sure you included all of them. Double check to make sure you have full addresses. Make sure you include collection agencies and creditors law firms that have corresponded to you in addition to the creditor on your mailing matrix. The IRS and each State Agency have specific address(es) for bankruptcy service as well. If you realize afterward that you missed a creditor or creditors , you should update with amended schedule(s) and mailing matrix.
