A debtor does not need to send a copy of its bankruptcy petition package to any creditors because the court will mail a notice of the bankruptcy case to all creditors listed in the debtor’s bankruptcy petition package. However, a debtor may wish to call or write to creditors who are taking action against a debtor (e.g. foreclosure, lawsuits, daily phone calls), or an agency that is executing on a judgment (e.g. sheriff). If so, a debtor should provide the creditor or sheriff with a bankruptcy case number or a conformed copy of the front page of the bankruptcy petition package.
