How many days after my meeting of creditors can I add additional creditors?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You can continue to add creditors up until the day your case is closed, but obviously it will delay the closing of your case, so the sooner you get all your creditors added in, the better. The courts may close your case in as little as 60 days after your 341 meeting ends if you do not file your paperwork with the certificate of the financial management class. This requirement can be easy to overlook which is why every attorney will urge you to complete the requirement immediately. If your case is closed without a discharge, you will have to pay a $260 fee to reopen the case to file the certificate. That can be kind of an expensive lesson to learn.

If it legal for the bank to make my co-signer cover our loan after I filed bankruptcy and why?

Yes. That is the reason that creditors get co-signers. So that when the principal defaults, there is someone else to pursue.
