Meeting of Creditors Chapter 13

Rev. 02/06/2024

Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)(1)
Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2003
Miss. Bankr. L.R. 3015-1(d)

The clerk or some other person as the court may direct must give at least 21 days' notice of the 341 meeting information (date, time, location) to the debtor, the trustee, all creditors, and indenture trustees. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)(1).

In a Chapter 13 case, Fed. Rule 2003(a) requires the UST to call a meeting of creditors to be held at least 21 days and no more than 50 days after the order for relief date (petition file date or conversion date to Chapter 13). If the UST designates a place for the meeting that the UST does not regularly staff, the meeting may be held not more than 60 days after the order for relief.

The Chapter 13 Trustee schedules the creditors' meeting in the ECF system, and the clerk serves the notice via the Bankruptcy Noticing Center.

Note: The trustee should schedule the creditors' meeting after the debtor files a chapter 13 plan (the "Plan")

Beginning December 1, 2017, the debtor or debtor's counsel must serve a Notice of Filing Chapter 13 Plan and a copy of the plan to the trustee, US Trustee, and all creditors. See Notice of Filing Chapter 13 Plan.

Beginning October 2023, chapter 7, 12, and 13 trustees will conduct 341 meetings via Zoom. Zoom meeting details are posted on the UST's webpage at www.justice.gov/ust/moc.
