  Note:

  Any creditors seen in the Party list are there because they filed an actual electronic filing on the case. Filing a claim or being in the mailing matrix does not automatically put a creditor on this list.

  ( Click on the Add/Create New Party hyperlink to add your client as a party to the case.)
  
  See the Create New Party Process routine for details.
  
  Note:     When on the Party Information screen in the Create process, select "Creditor" in the Role field.
   
• Once your client appears in the Party List and is highlighted, click on the [Next] button to continue. 

 

Note: If you had to add your client, or if your client was on the Party list due to a filing completed by another attorney, you will get the attorney/party association screen. Definitely click in the box to establish the association. (See Figure 4a)
