[WSBAPT] Invalid creditor's claim

[Lovie Bernardi]

Dear listmates,

 

Believe it or not, I've never dealt with a defective creditor's claim
before. A known creditor was given actual notice. They sent back the
claim form we provided, unsigned, to our office, but never filed it with
the Court. The creditor's claim period has now expired. I was prepared
to send a rejection to the creditor, then started to review some CLE
materials which led me to believe that I need not reject it formally
because it was not a proper claim. It now occurs to me that if the claim
was never filed with the court, it is not a proper claim. The creditor
continues to send statements to the administrator. The CLE materials had
a "drop dead" letter to send in such circumstances. Am I okay with just
sending that and skipping the rejection? Thanks in advance for the
input.
