<p class="MsoNormal">This is a first in my practice and I'd appreciate your suggestions and experience. A major credit card company, a known creditor to whom we mailed the Notice to Creditors, has not submitted a claim within the claim period. I'm wary of
advising the client to proceed as if this claim is barred simply because I am unused to credit card companies missing the deadline. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have you experienced this before? What steps/action can I take to ensure we are on firm ground before advising my client that any subsequent claim is barred? <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know the claims statute has a procedure for obtaining a judicial determination that the PR has conducted a reasonable search for unknown creditors, but am not aware of anything similar for getting a judicial determination that a known
creditor is time barred (other than receiving, denying, and adjudicating a late claim). Is this perhaps more common than I realize?<u></u><u></u></p>
