A creditors’ meeting is a gathering of creditors who are owed money by a debtor. This meeting is part of the process of a debtor filing for bankruptcy in North Dakota. During the meeting, the debtor has to answer questions from the creditors regarding their finances and assets, in order for the creditors to figure out how much of the debt they can expect to recover. The debtor is required to attend this meeting, and must bring any documents pertaining to their financial situation. This includes income statements, bank statements and other financial documents. Creditors can also attend the meeting, and will be allowed to ask questions about the debtor’s finances. The purpose of a creditors’ meeting is to give creditors information about the debtor’s assets and liabilities before the court makes decisions about the bankruptcy. This information can help creditors make decisions about how much money they may be able to recover from the debtor through the bankruptcy process. The meeting gives creditors an opportunity to express their concerns about the debtor’s finances, and receive an update on the progress of the bankruptcy proceedings. The debtor also has an opportunity to make a statement to the creditors at this meeting. The meeting also provides the debtor and creditors with a chance to negotiate a repayment plan between them.
