A Creditor List shall contain the name and address of each individual or entity included, or to be included, on Schedules D, E, F, G, and H.  The Court expects a Debtor or Debtor’s counsel to carefully consider whether relevant parties-in-interest are included in the Schedules, in a Creditor List, or both.  A list of potentially relevant parties-in-interest can be found on Appendix S of these Local Bankruptcy Rules.
