Chapter 7 Discharged 3 years ago, but I forgot to list an asset.

How do I re-open my case and schedule an asset? I filed pro-se.

Thanks!

If you really mean that you had an asset that you didn't schedule and that asset is otherwise non-exempt and was subject to liquidation and distribution... you probably need to speak with an attorney. A late discovered asset could be nothing or problematic. I can offer not suggestions on how to proceed with a late-discovered asset.

If you meant scheduling a missing creditor read on...

Depending on where you live, it may be unnecessary. For Chapter 7 cases, and only for Chapter 7 cases that are no-asset cases, reopening is superfluous since, by operation of law, a Chapter 7 discharge discharges all debts that arose before the date of filing. There's a lot of caselaw on this.

If you decide to do this, just call the Clerk of the Court and ask if you can "ask a procedural question." That question should be what is the procedure to re-open the case for the sole purpose of scheduling a missing creditor.

You may want to look up U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for caselaw.
