Without going into the needless messy details, here's my situation:
I was in a business venture with some friends. It did not end well and is a big part of the reason I will be filing Ch7 (zero asset). Through the grapevine, I've heard that they are planning on filing a suit against me, although I can't for the life of me imagine the grounds for such a suit. But you know how it is.... anybody can file suit against anybody for anything.
They know I am probably going to file BK and they went through the process a number of years ago. Accordingly, they've allegedly said they're planning on waiting until I have filed my bankruptcy and received a discharge before suing me.
Here's the question: Can I include them on my list of creditors even if they haven't even officially notified me of intention to sue? I'd like to short-circuit their attempts at a suit and make sure they can't recover anything from me.
I searched a couple of different times and found threads with similar but different enough situations to make me wonder. Any ideas?
