NOTICE TO: DEBTOR ATTORNEYS, BANKRUPTCY PETITION PREPARERS AND DEBTORS

UPDATED REQUIREMENTS FOR FORMAT OF MASTER MAILING LIST The meeting of creditors notice, discharges and other notices that are to be mailed by the clerk are now being mailed by an outside contractor in Maryland. The company has entered a contract with the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to do that noticing which had been done by the Clerk. This contractor is referred to as the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC). The BNC can only process four lines of an address. It will process the first line and the bottom three lines of the address and drop any other lines. Therefore, if the post office box or street address is not within one of those four lines, the notice for the creditor will be returned by the post office for insufficient address. It is recommended that names and addresses on the master mailing list not exceed four lines. While addresses exceeding four lines will be processed, please be aware that notices might not be delivered to an address that exceeds four lines. In cases where the mailing list contains 100 or more names and address, in addition to filing the mailing list on paper, the mailing list is also required to be submitted on a 3.5" computer disk in an ASCII text file. (Single column, names and addresses in ALL CAPS and with two blank lines separating each name and address combination.)

RETURNED MAIL AND NOTICE OF NON-MAILING The BNC will send to the debtor(s) and debtor(s)' attorney a notice of non-mailing stating why a notice was not mailed to a particular creditor. The debtor(s) or their attorney may correct the address on the notice and file it with the Clerk's Office. The address will then be corrected for any future notices. The debtor(s) or their attorney must mail the non-mailed notice to that creditor. This is not the same as returned mail, which was mailed and returned as undeliverable. Notices that are mailed by the BNC but returned by the post office are returned to the Clerk's Office. Meeting of creditors notice returned mail is placed in the case file. Other returned mail is not processed. No notice of non-mailing is sent out by the BNC because the notice was, in fact, mailed. If a notice is returned by the post office, it is returned to the Clerk's Office.
